Developing a DSP/BIOS Program
This chapter introduces DSP/BIOS and shows how to create, build, debug,
and test programs that use DSP/BIOS.
In this chapter, you optimize the hello world program you created in Chapter
2 by using DSP/BIOS.
This chapter requires a physical board and cannot be carried out using a
software simulator. Also, this chapter requires the DSP/BIOS components of
Code Composer Studio.
