AWR1642: Question about mmwave_sdk_01_00_00_05 & mmWave Demo Visualizer

Part Number: AWR1642
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hi,

I have run the mmWave Demo on the AWR1642 EVM platform following the mmwave_sdk_user_guide, but the test result was different from the description in the document. After loading the xwr16xx_mmw_demo_mss.xer4f and xwr16xx_mmw_demo_dss.xe674 into AWR1642 and running in CCS, I configured the corresponding parameters with mmWave Demo Visualizer, an error occurred:

Another error in CCS:

[CortexR4_0] **********************************************

Please help me to solve the problem, many thanks.

Best regards.

  • Hello ,
    Can you confirm if you followed the instruction in section 3.3.2 on the SDK user guide to flash the "xwr16xx_ccsdebug.bin" before you download the mss and dss code from CCS?

  • Hello,

    Can you please also try loading the .cfg file provided as part of SDK demo and then start sensor/run.
    These options are available on plot tab of the mmWave Demo Visualizer gui.

    This will confirm that Out of Box config works.


    Thank you,

    Thanks. Problem solved. I did not use the UniFlash tool to download the xwr16xx_ccsdebug.bin file and still use the arprog_cmdline.exe included in the previous sdk version. Completely following the sdk user guide, the test result is correct.
