  • Developing and deploying real-time high-performance applications with DSPs
    Patent number: 6560722
    Abstract: To address the need for enhanced real-time analysis, Texas Instruments Inc. has developed a standard embedded infrastructure for its DSPs that provides unique visibility into real-time program execution. Integrated with TI's Code Composer Studio development environment, this infrastructure consists of two components: 1) DSP/BIOS, a tiny target-based run-time system that captures event and statistical information for the application and uploads it to the host (via a standard physical link such as JTAG) as the application executes in real-time; this DSP/BIOS system is integrated with the target application (C or DSP assembler); 2) Scope, a suite of host-based tools that allows designers to visually trace, monitor, and probe the DSP application as it executes in real time.
