C Interface
Syntax
version = GBL_getVersion(Void);
Parameters
Void
Return Value
Uint16
version;
/* version data */
Reentrant
yes
Description
Returns DSP/BIOS version information as a 4-digit hex number. For
example: 0x5100.
When comparing versions, compare the highest digits that are different.
The digits in the version information are as follows:
Also, the version returned by GBL_getVersion matches the version in the
DSP/BIOS header files. (For example, tsk.h.) If the header file version is
as follows, GBL_getVersion returns 0x5001. (The last item uses two
digits in the returned hex number.)

Bits
Compatibility with Older DSP/BIOS Versions
12-15
(first hex digit)
Not compatible.
Changes to application C,
assembly, or configuration (Tconf) code may be
required
. For example,
moving from 0x5100 to
0x6100 may require code changes.
8-11
(second hex digit)
No code changes required but you should
recompile. For example, moving from 0x5100 to
0x5200 requires recompilation.
0-7
(third and fourth hex
digits)
No code changes or recompile required. You
should re-link if either of these digits are differ-
ent. For example, moving from 0x5100 to
0x5102 requires re-linking.
