newbie asks for help

hello!

As I'm a completely new to dsp I'd like to ask you for some help.
I've started using Code Composer Studio 2.0 and I'm a little lost at it.
Although I have a strong background in C++ I find it difficult to understand
how threads nad semphores work in CCS. Could you point me to a site where I
could find some tutorials/sample code etc. on this matter? The samples from
the CCS help are not that basic and simple as I wish they were.

Thanks

Threads and semaphores are a feature of the DSP-BIOS operating system, 
not C++ or Code Composter.  Is the problem that you haven't seen threads 
or semaphores before, or that you're having trouble with the DSP-BIOS 
way of implementing them?

If it's the former get yourself a book on real-time operating systems 
(or just basic UNIX).  I picked all that stuff by osmosis so long ago 
that I couldn't tell you a good reference, unfortunately.
