Things To Remember

TMS320 DSP

DSP/BIOS

DSP/BIOS is a scalable, extensible real-time kernel

designed and optimized for TMS320 DSPs

DSP/BIOS reduces the cost, risk, and time incurred in

developing and deploying complex DSP applications

DSP/BIOS provides a standard software foundation for

a growing base of interoperable program components
