This release note is divided into the following sections:
Introduction, Documentation, What's New, Upgrading And Compatibility Information, Host Support, Dependencies, Device Support, Validation Information, Known Issues, Benchmarks, Versioning, Technical Support And Product Updates,
DSP/BIOS 5.41.00.06 is a new release of DSP/BIOS that supports both CCSv3 and CCSv4 environments.
This release includes separate installers for CCSv3 and CCSv4. The target
content (libraries and .h files) are identical in both installations. The main
difference is that different tools are provided in each release as necessary
to work with CCSv3 or CCSv4. Merging these 2 product versions into single BIOS 5.41.00.06 product version will allow for better feature and defect tracking and more timely updates.
Besides the productization changes, the main new feature for BIOS 5.41.00.06
is the support for power management for the C6748 and OMAPL138
devices. Look for the PWRM APIs in the DSP/BIOS C6x API
Guide and the PWRM overview in the User's Guide for more information.
The following documentation is provided with this release:
DSP/BIOS is binary compatible with DSP/BIOS 5.33 (and all the way back to DSP/BIOS 5.21). Users do not need to recompile your source files or libraries when updating to BIOS 5.41. However users *must* rebuild their configuration since the generated linker .cmd file (<prog>cfg.cmd) is different.
Solaris host is no longer supported in this release. Customer-critical bug fixes to earlier releases will be available to Solaris users if required.
DSP/BIOS 5.41 does not support TMS320C54xx devices. Users of
such devices
should continue use DSP/BIOS 5.31.xx earlier releases. For
customer-critical
54xx-related issues, TI will continue to provide fixes to earlier
versions when
needed.

This release was validated using the following components:
back to top
All
releases have 4 digits (M.mm.pp.bb). This includes GA and
pre-releases (engineering, EA, beta, etc.). Pre-releases are denoted with
a suffix (e.g. 5.41.00.17_eng or 5.41.00.17_beta).
This
product's version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and b is an unrestricted set of digits used as
an incrementing build counter.
To support
multiple side-by-side installations of the product, the product version is
encoded in the top level directory, ex. bios_5_41_00_17.
Subsequent
releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number, ex. BIOS 5.41.01.18 with directory bios_5_41_01_18. Typically, these patches
only include critical bug fixes.
Please note
that version numbers and compatibility keys are NOT the same. For an explanation
of compatibility keys, please refer to the 'Upgrade and Compatibility
Information' section.
