Cannot post a new question

Hi,

Since last Thursday I can't post new questions in the E2E mmWave Sensors forum.

After pressing the post button nothing happens. I also don't get the 

usual notification email regarding the confirmation of my post.

Thanks,

Boaz

  • Hello Boaz,
    please describe the process of attempting to post a new question. Can you post to other Forums?

  • Hi Leonard,
    I have posted numerous times in the mmwave sensors forum.
    Since last Thursday I couldn't post anymore.
    I fill the post (all required fields), and when I press the"Post" button
    nothing really happens...

  • Yes, I see you have many posts in mmWave. 

    Please provide a screen capture of the Thread Create Form as you are ready to click Post.

  • Hi Boaz,

    Try removing the code in the Desc box . .  I recall that there were some additional checks on content made recently, and some code postings are not accepted.  Just a guess on my part, but let's see - you can post the code in a .txt document.

  • Hi Leonard,
    This is not a code, it is configuration parameters of
    the sensor, and it is very common in this forum to post the configurations.
    In this way the application engineers can easily debug our problems.
    Second, I have tried to attach these parameters in a text file and it doesn't work either.
    Regards,
    Boaz
  • Hi Leonard,
    This is the question I'm trying to post in the "mmWave sensors Forum".
    Can you please try to forward this post for me?

    Hi,
    I am trying to work with a finer doppler resolution than the default
    configuration attached to the people counting lab ("mmw_pplcount_demo_default.cfg"),
    in order to still detect people at rest, in the cost of decreasing the max velocity parameter.
    I am trying to work with the following configuration, but it won't work.

    dfeDataOutputMode 1
    channelCfg 15 3 0
    adcCfg 2 1
    adcbufCfg 0 0 1 0
    profileCfg 0 77 370 7 20 0 0 100 1 64 5333 0 0 30
    chirpCfg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
    chirpCfg 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 2
    frameCfg 0 1 32 0 50 1 0
    lowPower 0 1
    guiMonitor 1 1 0 0
    cfarCfg 6 4 4 0 0 16 16 4 4 50 62 0
    doaCfg 600 1875 30 1
    SceneryParam -6 6 0.05 4
    GatingParam 4 3 2 0
    StateParam 10 5 10 100 5
    AllocationParam 250 0.01 5 1 2
    VariationParam 0.289 0.289 1.0
    trackingCfg 1 2 250 20 200 50 90
    sensorStart

    This config still define 6.4[m] max range.
    do you know what may be the problem?
    do you have a working configuration with fine doppler resolution for the people counting?

    Thanks,
    Boaz
  • Hi Boaz, 

     I posted this and then saw you successfully posted it as well:  https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensor/mmwave_sensors/f/1023/t/688883  , so I deleted my thread.  The other suggestion I was going to ask you to do is to clear the browser cache and saved pages.  If your browser was trying to access an older stored page, this error may have occurred. 

    Glad to see you got it working.

  • I have had the same problem when posting a reply in Compiler and DSP forums. No code in try and a code snippet another try. I have tried the quick reply text window and the rich text window. When I press "Reply", it just sits there with a spinning busy indicator. I am using Firefox and I have cleared the cache, history, etc. Of course if this post works here, I have proven it works. If it doesn't , I can't post about. Ironic.

    Norman, is this happening today? Or did this happen sometime ago? We have tweaked some firewall rules to allow code to be posted, however, we may not have covered every possibility. If this is still happening now, can you provide me the code snippet you're trying to post?
  • Last time I posted was two or three days ago. I tried posting this morning it fails. With quick reply, I get a little red popup with the text:
    Error occurred. Please try again or contact your administrator.
    With the rich text, pressing the "Post" button results in the spinning arrows animation.
  • I was trying to post to this thread
    e2e.ti.com/.../689924
    and a similar one in compiler forum. I will try to post my problematic reply in the next posts here.

    If it fails to post here, please email me the complete content of the post. I'm at x0211426@ti.com
  • Okay. Look like this forum is not different. I cannot post my problem reply. The reply consists of text and code. Here's the text.

    You have allocated 0x800 or 2kB bytes for stack but the image_array of 256kB is declared on the stack. Also, SHRAM is only 128kB in size. The compiler cannot detect stack overrun due to large local variables.

    You should move image_array off the stack. Make it a global rather than local variable. The compiler can check global memory usage.

    To reduce memory usage, you can reduce image_array to an array of bytes instead of 4-byte "int". First read it in as a 4-byte int, then convert it to a byte.

    You should check to see if the file opened successfully. You may be using fscanf with a null FILE handle.

  • Try attaching the code as a text file.

    code.txt
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    unsigned char image_array[256*256]; // 256*256 = 64kB
    
    int main()
    {
      int i;
      int a;
      FILE *image;
      image = fopen("image_cameraman_tiff.txt","r");
      if(image == NULL)
      {
        printf("Open failed\n");
        return;
      }
    
      for(i=0;i<5;i++)
      {
        fscanf(image, "%d", &a);
        image_array[i] = (unsigned char)a;
      }
    }

    Can you tell me how you're adding the code snippet to the post? Did you just paste it as text ?

    #include <stdio.h>

    unsigned char image_array[256*256]; // 256*256 = 64kB

    int main()

    int a;
    FILE *image;
    image = fopen("image_cameraman_tiff.txt","r");

    {
    printf("Open failed\n");
    return;
    }

    for(i=0;i<5;i++)

    }

    Test using rich text editor.

  • In the quick reply window, I just pasted both text and response into the window. I pre-typed my reply in Windows notepad. Pressed "Reply"

    In the rich text window, I pasted in my text first. Then clicked on the Syntaxhighlighter "</" and pasted my code in the code window. Closed code window. Everything looks okay in the rich text window. Press "Post".

  • I just tried to echo your quick reply with inline code. Same error as before.
  • #include <stdio.h>

    unsigned char image_array[256*256]; // 256*256 = 64kB

    int main()
    {
    int i;
    int a;
    FILE *image;
    image = fopen("image_cameraman_tiff.txt","r");
    if(image == NULL)
    {
    printf("Open failed\n");
    return;
    }

    for(i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
    fscanf(image, "%d", &a);
    image_array[i] = (unsigned char)a;
    }

    Norman,

    I've been able to duplicate your problem from outside the TI network. We're investigating a solution now. Stay tuned.
  • Well that is strange. My echo of your quick reply inline code has popped up 40 minutes after I tried it.

    That was me impersonating your account and posting from inside TI's network as a test.

    Changes have been made to the firewall rules to allow code to be posted now. I've tested with both of the code snippets in this thread and they both post successfully now. Please let me know if there are any future issues.
