AWR1642: Debugging Problem

Hi,

First, you need to make sure that the SOP pins are set as described in the AWR1642BOOST EVM User Guide.

Are you able to connect the DSS and MSS cores?

Do you have additional information about the Error?

Thank you

Cesar

Hi Cesar

I add screenshots to show current status.

Here is the error I get when debug fails.

And this is the console log

Here is test connection result

Here is the mss and dss debug configs

Please check and give me a feedback.

Best Regards.

Have you tried loading the mmWave SDK demo pre-built binaries provided in:

C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw\xwr16xx_mmw_demo_mss.xer4f

Thank you

Hi Cesar,

I follow the manual debug steps.here is the screenshots.

first I go to "target configurations" and  "launch selected configuration" then the debug log is this

then connect both cores 

then load program to dss and it is succesfully enter main function

then load program to Mss But MSS core gives error.I also try to load program to MSS first but it gives error again.

Here is the error logs.

Thanks

Hi,

I would ask the HW team to review this thread

thank you

One more question from me,

I assume you have a flash on your board. Are you able to flash to it?

Using CCS requires to flash the ccsdebug application.

However, I don't think this is the issue here. I think that the chip is not powered properly

thank you

Hello,

Did you add a pre-regulator or change the PMIC? The PMIC used on AWR1642BOOST can only support up to 5.5V input, it will not work with 12V. If you did not change this to be able to support your 12V input then it will not work.

Hello Adrian,

We used  TIDA-020004 design because it is a automotive design and suits our design goal.

We copy almost all design only a few component changes.

QSPI FLASH changes with competiable one.

CAN-FD 2 is removed.

These are all changes.

Thanks.

EMRE

Ok, that should work with 12V. Just to confirm, can you probe the supplies and make sure you are seeing the expected voltage:

Also, can you check the voltage on the VBGAP pin after powering on?

Lastly, please confirm Cesar's question regarding if you are able to successfully flash or not.

Regards,

Adrian

Hello Cesar,

MX25R1635FZUIH0 this is our flash chip.

I don't know,How can I check this?

Thanks.

Hi Adrian,
I can comfirm all of the voltage at above 1st picture is correct.

And one of our boards VBGAP voltage is 0 now.But at the eval board it is 0.8V.There is a difference in this matter.

i have a second board when i check it i confirm all voltages are correct including in VBGAP it is 0.89V.

So I will check 1st card again.

Now,

All SOP voltages and supply voltages are same with launchpad with our 2nd board.

I can not enter manual debug  with this board.

Here is the error Log

Cortex_R4_0: Trouble Writing Memory Block at 0x0 on Page 0 of Length 0x3c: (Error -1065 @ 0x0) Unable to access device memory. Verify that the memory address is in valid memory.

Hello Adrian,

Is there any update about this topic.

Thanks
