MMWCAS-DSP-EVM: loading binaries

Christina Katzlberger

Part Number: MMWCAS-DSP-EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2243, MMWCAS-RF-EVM

Hello guys,

I try to run the mmwcas demos on the MMWCAS-DSP-EVM with the AWR 2243p. I follow the instructions of the ProcessorSDKRadr_UserGuide, I stuck at 3.8 Load binaries using CCS.

Is there a way to use CCS to load binaries without the JTAG?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Hi,

Have you already tried to capture raw data as described in

C:\ti\mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14\docs\mmwave_studio_cascade_user_guide.pdf

The Processor SDK demo is unfortunately no longer supported since the team who developed it is no longer available.

There is a FAQ that provides some information that will help you run the demo

Please see item 13

[FAQ] MMWCAS-RF-EVM: Cascade Board related Queries - Sensors forum - Sensors - TI E2E support forums

thank you
Cesar

Hi Cesar,

thank you for your answer. I tried the mmwave studio, but I would like to stream data directly to the PC and not via SSD, therefore this is no valid solution for me.

Unfortunately this use case is not supported with the cascade kit because there is no interface that has sufficient bandwidth

There are third parties such as Smart Radar System that provide such a solution

RETINA | Smart Radar System

Thank you

Hi Cesar, that means the TDA2xx is able to perform the processing to geneate a point cloud but the board is not able to transfer it?

How does the cascaded radar demo in the SDK works? Is the post-processing on board?

Is the RETINA system compatible with the TI board or a completely different system?

Thank you for your help!

Sorry, I may have misunderstood.

Is your intent to stream raw data or object data (point cloud)?

If the purpose is to stream the point cloud, than you may be able to use the Processor SDK demo. If you are able to follow the FAQ and run this demo with AWR2243 silicon you should be able to see the streamed point cloud.

In the Processor SDK demo the processing happens on the TDA2xx. The object data is sent through Ethernet to the PC host.

The RETINA system is a system based on AWR2243 sensor. It is a different antenna. It allows to stream both raw data and object data.

Thank you

Cesar

Hey Cesar,

thank you a lot for your answer, I want to stream the point cloud with the SDK.

My question was if I can load binaries using CCS if I don't have a JTAG available. I am using the method with the SD- card now instead.

The demo fails saying:

[IPU1-0] 18.336241 s: Assertion @ Line: 280 in C:/PROCESSOR_SDK_RADAR_03_08_00_00/vision_sdk/apps/src/rtos/radar/src/common/chains_common_ar12xx.c: SYSTEM_LINK_STATUS_SOK == retVal : failed !!!

Br,

Hi,

I will assign this thread to the group that supports the Processor SDK

thank you

Thank you caesar for my help, the issue resolved as I repeated the whole Processor SDK procedure, downloading, installing and implementing the changes for the AWR2243p.

To the first question: I am still not sure about using the CCS without JTAG Emolator to load binaries, I guess this is not possible and I am not 100% sure which JTAG products are suitable for MMWCAS-RF-EVM and MMWCAS-DSP-EVM.

Maybe somebody can share experiences.
