How to download TI-RTOS for C6000

Sam lam

Hi,

How come I don't have the option to download "TI-RTOS for C6000" in the "Code Composer Studio Add-ons" tab under "App Center"? I am using CCSv6 (6.1.1.00022) on an Ubuntu 14.04 64-bits machine.

PS.. I am following the instructions on this "www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruhu2/spruhu2.pdf" to download the "TI-RTOS for C6000".

Thanks,

Sam

For reasons I don't understand neither "TI-RTOS for C6000" nor "TI-RTOS for Sitara" are showing up in the CCS 6.1.1 App Center.

In the case of "TI-RTOS for Sitara" I had to follow the download link on http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/tirtos/index.html. On that referenced page there is also a download link for "TI-RTOS for C6000" which you could try.

Hi,

These two products were removed from the App Center in one of the page updates. I am working internally to see what was the rationale behind the removal and if there is a possibility of bringing these products back.

At the moment the link provided by Chester is a solid workaround.

I apologize for the inconvenience,

Rafael

W.r.t the removal of TI-RTOS for Sitara I found this thread TI-RTOS for Sitara does not show in App Center which has the comment:

Unfortunately TI-RTOS for Sitara has been discontinued. If you take a look at the TI-RTOS downloads page here, you'll see that it hasn't been released since TI-RTOS 2.00.01.23. You can download the installer from that page.

TI-RTOS for Sitara 2.00.01.23 uses SYS/BIOS 6.40.01.15, which is an old version. I discovered, the hard way by single stepping the SYS/BIOS start-up code, that the Hwi_initStack function in SYS/BIOS 6.40.01.15 causes a crash due to stack corruption during start-up when compiled with GNU v4.8.4 (Linaro). Looking through the release notes for later versions of SYS/BIOS found that was a fix for the crash in SYS/BIOS 6.40.04.47:

SDOCM00114095 Hwi_initStack() routine may generate code that corrupts the stack during boot time (gcc v4.8 Arm issue)

The suggestion that TI-RTOS for Sitara has been "discontinued" could explain why it was removed from the CCS App Center.

TI-RTOS for C6000 also hasn't been updated since TI-RTOS version 2.00.01.23, so has TI-RTOS for C6000 also been discontinued?

Perhaps the http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/tirtos/index.html page could be updated to clarify for which targets TI-RTOS has been discontinued.

In the case of Sitara, the SYS/BIOS Industrial Software Development Kit (SDK) has support for a later version of SYS/BIOS than TI-RTOS.

Hi,

I also confirmed the information that TI-RTOS for Sitara is discontinued. This was entirely replaced by the Processor SDK RTOS v2.0 available at the link below:
http://www.ti.com/processorsdk

For C6000, however, the most current product is the TI-RTOS available at the link sent by Chester above. At the moment it is not discontinued but I will let you know if there are roadmap updates for this product.

Regards,
Rafael
