Hi,
I’m working with TMS320C5515 EVM and I’m trying to create a CCS project using dsp/bios 6 (I’m following the getting start guide instruction).
I set the following configuration:
RTSC Target: ti.targets.C55_large
RTSC platform: ti.platforms.evm5505
RTSC Build - Profile: whole_program
and I’m getting “target not supported “ error .
Please advice .
Thanks in advance

The C55xx devices are not supported in BIOS6. Attached are the release notes for BIOS 6.31.04.27. As you can see under the 'Device Support" section, none of the C55x devices are supported. You would need to use BIOS 5.41.xx with C55x devices.

GateMutex_enter() calls BIOS_getThreadType() to validate the calling context. GateMutex_enter() will raise an assert if called from Hwi or Swi context. GateMutex internally calls Semaphore_pend/post to provide the mutex. Semaphore_pend() cannot be called from Swi or Hwi context if the semaphore is not available. Note that a GateMutex gate is registered with the TI compiler’s RTS library to make the RTS library reentrant. Calling printf() and a few other RTS functions from Swi or Hwi context will yield this assert. </li><li>This assert check will catch bad code that could cause a rare crash. While not recommended, this assert can be disabled by adding ‘GateMutex.common$.diags_ASSERT = Diags.ALWAYS_OFF;’ to your .cfg file.</li><li>Text footprint on the C6x increased by 2K due to Exception.enablePrint default now being set to ‘true’ by default. This enables better diagnostic output when an exception occurs. You can set this config parameter to ‘false’ to save memory and get a shorter, less informative diagnostic string.</li><li>MMU and Cache are now enabled by default for Arm9.</li><ul><li>Arm9 applications will have larger data/text footprint due to the 16kbyte MMU table and MMU initialization code. </li><li>Moved ti.sysbios.arm.Cache module to ti.sysbios.arm.arm9.Cache since this module is Arm9-specific. .cfg scripts will have to be updated to use new name (‘ti.sysbios.family.arm.arm9.Cache’) and .c files will have to change to use ‘#include <ti/sysbios/arm/arm9/Cache.h>’.</li></ul><li>Use BIOS_exit() rather than System_exit() if called from ISR or Swi context to avoid Assert() in GateMutex module. BIOS_exit() and System_exit() both flush the SysMin trace buffer using CIO. The CIO library is protected by GateMutex. <br></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p><b style="">DA830 ROM<o:p></o:p></b> </p> <ul><li>BIOS 6.30 and 6.31 cannot be used with the DA830 ROM. BIOS 6.21 is the preferred version for DA830 ROM.</li></ul> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">The 'ti.sdo.io' and 'ti.sdo.utils' packages are no longer provided with SYS/BIOS<o:p></o:p></b> </p> <ul><li>These packages are now provided in a separate "IPC" product.

Please update your applications to use the ti.sysbios.knl package versions of the Semaphore, Event, and Mailbox modules. Using the ipc package versions of these modules will result in build warnings. In a subsequent release of BIOS, using any module within the ipc package will result in a build error. </li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"> <br><span style="font-weight: bold;">The ti.sysbios.family.arm.m3.Exception module has been deprecated</span><br><br></p><ul><li>The ti.sysbios.family.arm.m3.Exception module functionality has been enhanced and merged into the ti.sysbios.family.arm.m3.Hwi module. Please update your applications to use the ti.sysbios.family.arm.m3.Hwi module to configure exception handling. By default, exceptions will be reported to CIO with an Error message. Details of the exception can be seen using Hwi module's "Exception" ROV view. At the expense of additonal code size, some of this detailed information can ALSO be routed to the CIO console by setting the Hwi.enableException configuration flag to true.</li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Placing of sections using MEM configs is no longer supported (ie MEM.TEXTSEG is unsupported)</span><br><br></p><ul><li>All of the legacy MEM memory segment placment functionality has been removed.

Please refer to the <i style="">Getting Started Guide</i> on where to download the XDC tools and run-time.</li></ul> <o:p></o:p><b style="">Migrating DSP/BIOS 5.x applications to SYS/BIOS 6.x<o:p></o:p></b> <ul><li>SYS/BIOS 6.x has different APIs compared to those in DSP/BIOS 5.x. Configuration scripts are also incompatible between the two releases. To provide easy migration of DSP/BIOS 5.x applications, an API compatibility layer is provided along with a conversion tool that converts configuration scripts to work with XDC and SYS/BIOS 6.x. The API compatibility layer provides 100% C source code compatibility with the exception of a few APIs that are no longer supported.
