Blackhawk Talon OS 
What is Talon DSP RTOS?
Talon RTOS is a suite of five (5) POSIX Compliant Real Time Operating Systems that are individually optimized for each TI DSP family. This eliminates the need for understanding the underlying DSP specifics and allows the developer to concentrate on the applications development, reducing risk, development cycle and time to market.
Talson DSP RTOS meets the demands of sophisticated embedded DSP applications providing predictable, deterministic and hard real time behavior, unlike other OSs such as Unix, Linux and their derivatives.
Talon DSP RTOS is ready to run out-of-the-box with hardware you may already have thanks to our board support packages (BSPs). Talon versions exist for the Blackhawk TAILWIND USB-based reference boards as well as many TI DSK and EVM boards and include host to target utilities for communication, file access and JTAG emulation. ALL BSPs come with OS driver source code illustrating how to communicate from your application running on the DSP to another host, board or process via PCI, USB, VME, ISA and standard parallel port interfaces. Talon Operating Systems support a wide variety of Texas Instruments DSPs.
Embedded System
This is an embedded operating system, that is, a systems software intended to be embedded along with application programs in a target device or system. This capability is supported by the System Builder tool, which allows you to generate a ROM Image file with the whole application configuration and the operating system kernel to be burnt into a Read-Only Memory (ROM) device, where the software is loaded and executed at run time.
What is POSIX?
POSIX® is an IEEE Standard for Information Technology - Portable Operating System Interface. Since the beginning of the last decade, this standard has provided a stable framework for both operating system designers and application programmers. While the touch and feel of the standard is UNIX-like, the POSIX interfaces are rigorously defined, therefore ensuring predictable behavior of compliant applications. There are many benefits to using standardized operating system interfaces.
- Well-defined and standardized operating system services provide for design of reliable and robust application software
- Application compiance to POSIX ensures smooth software portability between hardware platforms
- Standard OS interfaces enhance programmers' productivity by encouraging them to comply with proven and efficient programming practices
- The availability of numerous portable utility programs allows the programmer to work in a comfortable and friendly development environment
