Part Number: OMAP-L138
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi,

With reference to document "Migrating a DSP/BIOS 5 Application to SYS/BIOS 6 (SPRAAS7G) "

In section 4.1 table 1 Module Mappings from DSP/BIOS 5 to SYS/BIOS 6

In the table headings, there are a columns name SYS/BIOS 6 Legacy Module and Recommended SYS/BIOS 6 Module

My questions :-

1) What are the difference between legacy and non legacy ?

2) Can both be used concurrently ? if yes how ? link in both library files ?

Thanks.

Hi,

The legacy modules are older versions of the apis used in the corresponding SYSBIOS or DSPBIOS kernel. The table also has Recommended SYS/BIOS 6 Module, this should be used when migrating your code.

Hi Yordan,

Should I assume that the legacy APIs is no longer supported in SysBIOS 6 ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Most of them are supported. You can see which ones in Table 1 of the document, there is a "Legacy APIs Supported?" column.
