Running demo visualizer

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, AWR2944

There is a picture that I have attached it is a document listing the steps to turn on the visualizer but I am not able to achieve step six, I have doubt about step four and five like when I added the CFG file, what path should I choose?  

  • HI,

    As mentioned in the documentation, it is the path to the config file you have modified

    thank you

    Cesar

  • edited file: (named:default_sbl_qspiC.cfg) by the way, am I editing correctly? I mean I edited from original by erasing everything after "# file= " and replaced it with path address. it was (send the application image to flash. Flash it at OxA0000 as the SBL expects it at this location
    #file=...\...\example\ something something --operation=flash --flash-offset=0xA0000) and replaced it as you can see below. I hope this is correct...


    send the application image to flash. Flash it at OxA0000 as the SBL expects it at this location
    #file= C: \ti

    cmd command: (look at the output it’s giving)

    C:\til mmwave
    mcuplus_sdk_04_02_00_03\mcu_plus_sdk_awr294x_08_02_00_25\tools\boot›pythonuart_uniflash.py-pCOMG --cfg=sbl_prebuilt/war294x-evm/defaul
    t_sbl_qspiC.cfg

    ¡[ERROR] Configuration file [sbl_prebuilt/war294x-evm/default_sbl_qspic.cfg]not found !!!


    Yes I did What’s exactly told but why the cmd says config file not found?

  • Hi,

    Are you familiar with the Uniflash tool?

    Support for AWR294x has been added in the latest release.

    So, you don't need to run the python scripts anymore for flashing

    Thank you

  • no i didnt know, so is it same as CCS? I have CCS.. I thought CCS is supposed to do the flashing.. so after i download uniflash tool, what are the steps to run the visualizer? 

    So if i download uniflash tool, what do I do with the rest of the steps like 7 & 8?? like when i turn on the EVM, which mode should I put? UART or QSPI?

    it would be nice if i could also follow the userguide, but if you say just use uniflash tool, please let me know the further steps as well because it is not in the handout.

  • Hi,

    Step 1 - Identify the COM ports used by the EVM (Device Manager)

    Step 2 - Power off EVM, Configure SOP switch/jumper on EVM for Flashing Mode

    Step 3 - Power on EVM, Start Uniflash v 7.2.0

    Step 4 - New Configuration -> AWR2944, Start

    Step 5 - Settings&Utilities -> COM Port: Fill In Application/User COM Port

    Step 6 - Program: Browse to SBL and App Image

    Step 7 - Load Image

    Step 8 - Power off EVM. Configure SOP switch/jumper on EVM for Functional Mode

    Thank you

  • thankyou, I will try this but is it possible for you answer the question that I asked, whether my cmd command is correcct or not, just so that I get more options in case i do sth wrong with uniflash

  • Hi,

    When a file is not found it is a path issue.

    Make sure you have initialized the environment as requested in the documentation.

    Also make sure that you are using correct (forward/back slash) as needed

    thank you

    Cesar

  • Oh I see that I’m using forward slash where as command line is using backward slash, just to be safe which one am I supposed to use in windows 10?

    the document says: “Simply add the path to the demo you want to flash in the above following line. Leave everything else
    the same”, she didn’t specify which path to choose so I chose my own “file= C: \ti” is this correct? I wrote this by replacing/erasing whatever it was written in the original file (default_sbl_qspi) after file=

    am I supposed to erase all that? If I can choose any path I don’t see any mistakes do you?

  • Hi,

    Please make sure that all the instructions are followed.

    Make sure you setup the environment as described in the User's Guide

    C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_02_00_02\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_02_00_02\scripts\windows\setenv.bat

    Thank you
