Compiler/TDA2PXEVM: Unable to compile mmwave radar code in vision SDK

Hi Piyali, 

I am not really modifying the functionality of rl_device.c, just trying to verify the operation of rlDevicePowerOn() as called by Bsp_ar12xxRadarDeviceOn(). I am interfacing with a custom AWR1243 board connected to a fusion board. When I run the camera + radar combo usecase in the Vision SDK, using printf() I can tell that the call to rlDevicePowerOn() returns BSP_SOK; however, the "mmWaveLink Power Up completes" status message at the end of rlDevicePowerOn() is never printed, so I'm not sure if rlDevicePowerOn() actually succeeded. 

Thanks,

Richard 

Hi Piyali,

When I try to import the CCS project for M4, the IDE says that the project already exists? The bigger question might be, if there are no makefiles or *.mk files in the radar directory, how would gmake know to compile the source code within?

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

The CCS project looks at .project, .ccsproject, .cproject to generate the makefile for building the code. This is picked up with gmake while building.

Can you send a snapshot of the error you are seeing? Does the project exist in the project explorer?

Thanks and Regards,

Piyali

Hi Piyali, 

I have been building directly from the command line, do I need to build from within CCS in order to generate the makefiles? 

I'm not seeing any errors per se, it's that the code I want to compile isn't getting compiled. I can tell because when I purposefully add invalid code to the file, the compiler doesn't give any errors. 

The project is in the project explorer. 

Thanks,

Richard
