AWR1642BOOST: How to create a project with OOB demo lab files from the SDK 3.5.0.4 for the AWR1642 EVK?

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

Hi, I am doing some tests with the OOB demo lab for the awr1642, I am using the mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_7_0 (latest) and the release note say that the SDK 2.0.0.4 is required, ok, but in the ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw directory there are also source files for the awr1642 OOB demo and these files are not the same as the ti\mmwave_sdk_02_00_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw , so it seems like there is an updated version of the OOB lab for the awr1642 inside the SDK 3.5.0.4 but not available in TIREX, why?

and, how could I use the files in the ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw directory to create an OOB demo project for the awr1642 but compatible with the sdk 3.5.0.4 version, is this possible?

thanks

  • Hi,

    You are correct. The last version of the demo that was included in the toolbox was for SDK 2.0.0.4, but there is a version in SDK 3.5.0.4. If you wish to use the 3.5.0.4 SDK version, you will need to update the .projectspec files to reference SDK 3.5 and its files. While this isn't included in the toolbox currently, it should certainly be possible.

  • Hi, where and what are the .projectspec files?

  • Hi,

    The .projectspec file for this OOB demo can be found in <Industrial_Toolbox_location>/labs/out_of_box_demo/16xx_mmwave_sdk.
    .projectspec files are the ones that define how a project is imported to CCS, and specifies what version of files to use. So in order to update this to the SDK 3.5 version, you will need to change the version number specified in the .projectspecs as well as update the files that are pulled in to ensure that all the project files from the 3.5 SDK are pulled in. You can read more about .projectspec files in the documentation for CCS:
    software-dl.ti.com/.../ccs_projectspecs.html
