CCS/IWR1642: pplcount_16xx demo does not work with Code composer studio.

Part Number: IWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

       I am running CCS 7.4.0.00015 with Industrial Toolbox 2.4.0. The SDK used is mmwavesdk_02_00_00_04. But it does not detect anything when run with pplcount_gui.exe. Attached are the logs from both the UI and CCS. Can somebody please help? I must also say, the prebuilt image (lab0011-pplcountquickstart\xwr16xx_pcount_lab.bin) when flashed works. 

Can somebody have a look at the log and let me know what I am doing wrong, please?

Many Thanks,

Tony

    Hello Tony,

    If you are using Industrial Toolbox 2.4.0 and SDK 2.0.0.4, then I guess that you have an ES2.0 version of the IWR1642?

    If yes, then there is a problem with the cfg file you are loading the low power mode must be enabled. The line in red should read lowPower 0 1 :

    dfeDataOutputMode 1
    channelCfg 15 3 0
    adcCfg 2 1
    adcbufCfg 0 1 1 1
    profileCfg 0 77 30 7 62 0 0 60 1 128 2500 0 0 30
    chirpCfg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
    chirpCfg 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 2
    frameCfg 0 1 128 0 50 1 0
    lowPower 0 0
    guiMonitor 1 1 0 0
    cfarCfg 6 4 4 4 4 16 16 4 4 50 62 0
    doaCfg 600 1875 30 1
    trackingCfg 1 2 250 20 200 50 90
    sensorStart

    It appears to me from the log that you are not using the version of the gui and chirp configuration in the People Counting demo  from Industrial toolbox 2.4.0. Please ensure you are using the appropriate visualizer versions too since changes in SDK required a different .cfg file.

    Which version are you using pre-compiled binaries from?

    Best,

    Amanda

    Hi Amanda,

    Thank you for the information. I am not sure whether it is an ES2.0. There is no sticker as mentioned in the other forums to identify the board. But I received the board from TI last week. So am assuming it is ES2.0. Are there any visually detectable changes between ES1.0 and ES2.0, or any registers which can be interrogated for version?

    I did not load any config last week. But have been using the "Use Default" option within the People Counting GUI (in Toolbox 2.4.0). But today I chose the mmw_PC_6m_ConferenceRoom.cfg found in mmwave_industrial_toolbox_2_4_0\chirps\images\People+Tracking+and+Counting+Application. I have modified lowPower 0 1 as suggested. But unfortunately, it still does not detect people. I have attached the logs.

    The precompiled binary (which works) I used was mmwave_industrial_toolbox_2_4_0\labs\lab0011-pplcount\lab0011_pplcount_quickstart/xwr16xx_pcount_lab.bin I am not sure which version is it.

    Following were the values I written down when I received the board (from mmWave_Demo_Visualizer). Not sure whether it is useful to identify whether it is ES1 or ES2.

    RF F/W Version : 02.00.00.01.17.10.5
    RF F/W Patch : 01.01.00.02.18.04.10
    mmWaveLink Version: 01.01.00.05

    Tony,

    To clarify, the precompiled xwr16xx_pcount_lab.bin works for you but when you try and compile the demo yourself it compiles ok but then when you run the pplcount_gui.exe it also runs ok and loads the demo but then in the GUI you get no detection points?

    The GUI appears to work as in the frame number is increasing but there's no detections?

    If this is the case, then I think it is likely that you are not compiling with the correct compiler version for the DSS project. Please note that the DSS requires a specific compiler version not installed with CCS 7.4:

    From the User's Guide:

    "The DSS project must be built using compiler version 7.4.16. To check the build settings, select pplcount_16xx_dss and right click on the project to select Show build settings.... Under the General tab, the Advanced Settings section has a drop down menu for Compiler Version. Ensure that it reads TI v7.4.16."

    Please install this compiler version and try recompiling with it and let me know if that resolves your issue or not. 

    Best,

    Amanda

    Setting DSP compiler to v7.4.16 resolves the problem.
