About This Manual
DSP/BIOS gives developers of mainstream applications on Texas
Instruments TMS320 DSP devices the ability to develop embedded real-time
software. DSP/BIOS provides a small firmware real-time library and easy-to-
use tools for real-time tracing and analysis.
You should read and become familiar with the TMS320 DSP/BIOS API
Reference Guide for your platform. The API reference guide is a companion
volume to this user’s guide.
Before you read this manual, you should follow the "Using DSP/BIOS"
lessons in the online Code Composer Studio Tutorial. This manual discusses
various aspects of DSP/BIOS in depth and assumes that you have at least a
basic understanding of other aspects of DSP/BIOS as found in the help
systems.
Notational Conventions
This document uses the following conventions:
❏ Program listings, program examples, and interactive displays are shown
in a special typeface. Examples use a bold version of the
special typeface for emphasis; interactive displays use a bold version
of the special typeface to distinguish commands that you enter from items
that the system displays (such as prompts, command output, error
messages, etc.).
Here is a sample program listing:
Void copy(HST_Obj *input, HST_Obj *output)
{
PIP_Obj *in, *out;
Uns *src, *dst;
Uns size;
}
