About TI-RTOS
This chapter provides an overview of TI-RTOS for MSP43x.
1.1 What is TI-RTOS?
TI-RTOS is a scalable, one-stop embedded tools ecosystem for TI devices. It
scales from a real-time multitasking kernel (SYS/BIOS) to a complete RTOS
solution including additional middleware components and device drivers. By
providing essential system software components that are pre-tested and pre-
integrated, TI-RTOS enables you to focus on creating your application.
TI-RTOS is not installed automatically as part of the Code Composer Studio v6.x
installation. You can install TI-RTOS from the CCS App Center (choose View >
CCS App Center in CCS). Choose the version of TI-RTOS for your device family.
If you use devices in multiple families, you can install multiple TI-RTOS versions. See Section 2.3 for
details.
If you do not use CCS, you can download and install TI-RTOS as a standalone product (see Section 2.5 ).
In addition to the Texas Instruments Code Generation Tools, TI-RTOS includes support for the IAR tool
chain (see
Section 2.4 ).
TI-RTOS is provided with full source code and requires no up-front or runtime license fees.
