RTOS: TI-RTOS version string

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

hello,

I would like to get the version identifier string of the TI-RTOS in use to print it on a serial terminale at application startup. I have in mind something like:

void main(void)

{

char *vs;

....

initUart();

vs = some_function_to_get_ti_rtos_version_string();

printf("TI-RTOS %s Operating system\r\n",vs);

...

}

The output on a terminal should be like:

TI-RTOS 6.33.05.46 Operating system

I could not find the relevant function, neither I'm sure the information is available at runtime.

Thanks in advance

Hi Fabio,

TI-RTOS as a product does not have a version number available at runtime. However, the TI-RTOS kernel does have one you can use. Include BIOS.h in you application & the version will be available as a macro named "BIOS_version".

Hope this helps,

Hello Emmanuel,

I already had BIOS.h included

#include <ti/sysbios/BIOS.h>

but seems there is no BIOS_version macro:

"../Source/System/Main.c", line 152: error #20: identifier "BIOS_version" is undefined

Thanks
Fabio

Hi Fabio,

Unfortunately, I just noticed the version you listed above; it does not have the version macro. The version was added in the 6.45.00 release. Unless you can move to a later version of BIOS, you will have to have your own macro.
