1.2 DSP/BIOS Components
Figure 1-1 shows the components of DSP/BIOS within the program
generation and debugging environment of Code Composer Studio:
Figure 1-1. DSP/BIOS Components
On the host PC, you write programs (in C, C++ or assembly) that use the
DSP/BIOS API. The Configuration Tool lets you define objects to be used in
your program. You then compile or assemble and link the program. The
DSP/BIOS Analysis Tools let you test the program on the target device from
Code Composer Studio while monitoring CPU load, timing, logs, thread
execution, and more. (The term thread is used to refer to any thread of
execution, i.e., a hardware interrupt, a software interrupt, a task, an idle
function, or a periodic function.)
The following sections provide a brief overview of the DSP/BIOS components.
