Introduction
This document is the Document index for SYS/Link 02.00.00.56_c6x_alpha2 Release.

SYS/Link,also referred to as SysLink,is a software platform that simplifies the development of embedded applications in which a general-purpose microprocessor (GPP) controls and communicates with one or more processors (can be microprocessors / DSPs). SysLink provides control and communication paths between GPP OS threads and SYS/BIOS tasks.The SysLink product provides software connectivity between multiple processors. Each processor may run either an HLOS such as Linux, WinCE, Symbian etc. or a Real Time Operating System such as SYS/BIOS™ or PrOS. Based on specific characteristics of the Operating system running on the processor, the software architecture of each module shall differ.Current SysLink supports Linux on HLOS and SYS/BIOS on RTOS side.The associated Porting kit can be used to port SysLink to various OSes.

The SysLink product provides the following services to frameworks and applications: SYS/BIOS operating system is expected to be running on the slaves with all of these platforms.
 * Processor Manager
 * Inter-Processor Communication
 * Utility modules
