Hi All,
I'm new to the TI BIOS & DSP's.
I need a function that warm or cold reboots the processor.
I think I should be able to do this using SYS_exit offered by the BIOS but
I'm a little fuzzy on the details.
Tom

Tom,
depending on the underlying DSP...
You can force a watchdog reset event by sending the wrong sequence to the
watchdog I/O.
caveat: the watchdog has to be enable.
You can tie one of the GPIO, set as an output during initialization, to the DSP
reset line,
Then toggle it LOW to force a DSP reset event.
You can jump to the reset vector for a warm re-boot
If the BIOS has a 'reset' entry point, you can call that entry point.
There are several other methods that can/will force a DSP reset.

SYS_exit() calls a function that you can define. The default TI function is UTL_halt(), which if I recall correctly
just spins (does nothing). You can change this function; i.e. call a function that does something.
But none of that will cause a reset.
Some of the C5000 series devices had a RESET instruction that would reset some registers (not all) and cause a warm
restart. But I don't think C67x has this, and also C67x devices don't have an onchip ROM bootloader. Jumping to the
Reset vector isn't going to reset any registers, so you probably need some way to actually pull on the Reset line.
Richard's ideas are good.
