1) Since the help file for DSP/BIOS is entirely wrong when using CCS 4.1 if there where I can go for correct information?

2) In the meantime, Tools | RTA | Exec Graph is disabled.  How do I get this enabled?

    The BIOS user guides:

    BIOS 5.4: http://focus.ti.com/lit/ug/spru423h/spru423h.pdf

    BIOS 6.x: http://focus.ti.com/lit/ug/spruex3d/spruex3d.pdf

    Which version of BIOS are you using? Execution Graph is not supported with BIOS 5.4:

    Thanks

    Maybe I need to be more clear..  I'm trying to follow the tutorial in the Help file shipped with BIOS 5.4.  But, all of the instructions are for CCS3.x.  Not knowing either 3.x or 4.x It is very difficult to translate those instructions to 4.x.  And when names change or functionality is moved or removed then it is impossible for me to understand.  It took me some time to stumble through the first clk example.  But at least that made it easier to figure out how to build the second mutex example.  Then it talks about the Execution Graph.  When I finally Find the RTA menu, Exec Graph is disabled.  I am getting just a little bit tired of hitting brick walls and was hoping there was correct, current documentation that relates DSP/BIOS to CCS4.x. 

    OK. I understand that Execution Graph, and Thread Execution, is not supported with BIOS 5.4,  Too bad.

    I had already skipped RTSC because of a fatal problem getting examples to build http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/51854/184330.aspx#184330

    Since BIOS 6.xx supports Exec and Thread Graphs I'll look at it again.  I hope someone will help solve the problem stopping the evaluation.

    And now the -entire- RTA menu is disabled...
