MMWCAS-DSP-EVM: is there any CCS sample project or other tool for helping in developing a new application?

Part Number: MMWCAS-DSP-EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642BOOST, AWR1243

I am working of the MMVCAS-DSP-EVM and experiencing great difficulties in working with the command line 'makefile' approach.

Is there the possibility to have a CCS (or other graphical tool) project of your demo application? Like you have for example for the AWR1642BOOST I have used before ....

Thank you,

Sara Salvador

    We support only Makefile based projects for the TDA2x cascade radar EVM.

    What issues are you facing?

    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Piyali,

    is a not a particular issue actually.

    My problem is this: let's say I want to modify one of the usecases. What I am doing is open all the related files as txt files and follow the data processing flow and modify it where needed. Then I build the project and check if everything works. This makes it very hard to locate possible problems, by simply  "looking" at the code ... For example, I tried changing the sampling frequency:  I did not received any data from ethernet and I got some error message on the command window. How can I find out where is the problem?

    The thing is : I never used Makefile based project before and I am not sure I am following the right procedure, is this the correct way of working? .

    Makefile versus CCS is not fundamentally different. CCS projects would generate the makefile and then run the makefile. In this case the makefile is hand written by TI engineers to allow for greater flexibility and control of what is getting built for different configurations of Devices and usecases and boards.

    I would suggest following the error messages for your debug. In this specific case the sampling frequency has some rules which need to be followed for the AWR1243 with respect to other parameters. You should check if the AWR1243 is able to accept the parameters correctly. 

    The rules are described in the ti_components\radar\mmwave_dfp_01_02_00_00\docs\AWR1xxx_Radar_Interface_Control.pdf

    5.5.1 Sub block 0x0100 – AWR PROFILE CONF SET SB

    Note even though this is a makefile based project, you can load the symbols or program in CCS on the particular core and debug the code, step through, place break points like any other CCS project.

    Refer:  vision_sdk\docs\UserGuides\VisionSDK_UserGuide_TDA2xx.pdf

    Section 3.9 Load using CCS

    Thanks and Regards
