2.1.3 The Development Cycle
Creating and Building a CCSv4 Project for DSP/BIOS Applications
DSP/BIOS supports iterative program development cycles. You can create
the basic framework for an application and test it with a simulated processing
load before the DSP algorithms are in place. You can easily change the
priorities and types of program threads that perform various functions.
A sample DSP/BIOS development cycle includes the following steps, though
iteration can occur for any step or group of steps:
1) Configure static objects for your program to use. This can be done using
the DSP/BIOS Configuration Tool or the Tconf scripting language.
2) Write a framework for your program. You can use C, C++, assembly, or
a combination of the languages.
3) Add files to your project and compile and link the program using Code
Composer Studio.
4) Test program behavior using a simulator or initial hardware and the
DSP/BIOS analysis tools. You can monitor logs and traces, statistics
objects, timing, software interrupts, and more.
5) Repeat steps 1-4 until the program runs correctly. You can add
functionality and make changes to the basic program structure.
6) When production hardware is ready, modify the configuration to support
the production board and test your program on the board.
