Summary
For Flash demos that show you how to use DSP/BIOS within CCSv4, see the Quick Tips page.
DSP/BIOS v6 makes use of RTSC. For information about using RTSC with CCSv4, see Using RTSC with CCStudio v4 on the RTSCpedia wiki.
Code Composer Studio v4 can work with a number of versions of DSP/BIOS and SYS/BIOS. However it is important to understand that the tooling features that are available vary depending on which version you are using. DSP/BIOS 5.4x is a new version of DSP/BIOS that is binary compatible with DSP/BIOS 5.3x. The purpose of DSP/BIOS 5.4x is to provide an easy path for existing users to migrate to CCSv4 and be able to access the new DSP/BIOS tooling that is available in CCSv4. By contrast you can use DSP/BIOS 5.2 or DSP/BIOS 5.3 with CCSv4 but you will not get any special debug tooling support.
