History
The roots of SYS/BIOS were originally developed by Spectron Microsystems (a subsidiary of Dialogic Corporation) as the first real time operating system developed specifically for digital signal processors and was named SPOX. Spectron Microsystems eventually also developed a second product called BIOSuite that included a light-weight real time kernel and various associated tools that allowed for configuration and real-time analysis.
Spectron Microsystems was eventually acquired by Texas Instruments and the SPOX and BIOSuite products were combined into a single microkernel product called DSP/BIOS. With the release of version 6.3, DSP/BIOS was renamed to SYS/BIOS in order to reflect its support for microcontrollers beyond DSPs.
