software downloads
SYS/BIOS 6.35 and 6.37
- Binary compatible for all targets except MSP430 and C2000.
- MSP430
and C2000 users must recompile all source files that use the Semaphore,
Mailbox, or Event modules. The timeout parameter was changed from
UInt to UInt32 which are different sizes.
- All other users can use libraries built with 6.35.0x and 6.37.0x with 6.40.00.
SYS/BIOS 6.34 and older
- Source compatible. All APIs are supported but all source files must be recompiled.

All releases
have 4 digits (M.mm.pp.bb).
This includes GA and pre-releases (engineering, alpha/EA, beta, etc.).
Pre-releases are denoted with a suffix (e.g. 6.30.00.00-eng or
6.30.00.10-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 (e.g. bios_6_30_00_00).
Subsequent
releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number, ex.
SYS/BIOS 6.30.01.15 with directory bios_6_30_01_15. 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.
