OS helps boost DSP development for all levels of expertise
8 September 2004
Design Automation
Blackhawk has crafted a DSP realtime operating system (RTOS) for each Texas Instruments (TI) DSP platform. Blackhawk's Talon OS suite of POSIX-Compliant realtime operating systems are individually optimised for each of the TI TMS320C2000, TMS320C3x/4x,TMS320C5000 and TMS320C6000DSP platforms.
The company says that users of the Talon suite no longer need to understand all of the underlying DSP specifics before beginning DSP development. This reduces risk, development cycle and time to market. Talon's strict conformance to POSIX, the well-defined and widely accepted IEEE standard, provides developers with a completely documented, full-featured, high-level, UNIX-like development environment. It also co-exists seamlessly with TI's Code Composer Studio Integrated Development Environment in the typical debug environment.
Talon versions exist for Tailwind USB-based reference boards as well as many TI DSK and EVM boards and include host to target utilities for communication, file access and JTAG emulation. All board support packages come with OS driver source code illustrating how to communicate from applications running on the DSP to another host, board or process via PCI, USB,VME, ISA and standard parallel port interfaces.
