TI Tech Tips

When a TMS320C55x™ DSP goes into one of its IDLE modes, none of the DSP/BIOS™ interrupts or other task management modules work when the device wakes up? There is an issue with the use of RTDX™ and idling the DSP/BIOS CLKGEN module of the C55x™ DSP family. Complete details are available at the DSP KnowledgeBase.
