IWR6843: Stepping through the MMWave Demo with TI CCS

Part Number: IWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST

I would like to try and step through the MMWave Demo using TI-CCS but I am having trouble finding the correct project to load into TI-CCS and then building it.

1. I found some .projectspec files in mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_12_0/labs/Out_Of_Box_Demo/src/xwr6843ODS, mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_12_0/labs/Out_Of_Box_Demo/src/xwr6843ISK, and mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_12_0/labs/Out_Of_Box_Demo/src/xwr6843AOP but trying to any of these using CCS gives me the error:

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. If error persists, confirm configuration, power-cycle board, and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK). (Emulation package 8.4.0.00006)
Cortex_R4_0: File Loader: Verification failed: Target failed to write 0x00000000
Cortex_R4_0: GEL: File: /home/user/testiwr_workspace/out_of_box_6843_ods/Debug/out_of_box_6843_ods.xer4f: Load failed. 

I tried power-cycling and reducing TCLK and still no avail.

2. Under mmwave_sdk_03_06_00_00-LTS/packages/ti/demo/xwr68xx/mmw/ there seems to be source files for the MMWave Demo, but I can't get CCS to recognize them as a valid project because there is no .projectspec file. 

3. I am using a MMWAVEICBOOST to connect the IWR6843ODS (https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Texas-Instruments/IWR6843ISK-ODS?qs=9r4v7xj2LnlHBzZTGNiR9A%3D%3D&mgh=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrs2XBhDjARIsAHVymmTsdM7eiKNNWgKC5NLkG-Ae1ssjPr6DIzXJ_lyAj4DKVIyvN__lpjAaAiTBEALw_wcB). 

I checked my udev permissions and everything looks good. For example, cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-workplace.rules gives me SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0451", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev", so that can't be it. 

-------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone give me a projectspec file and/or instructions on how to create a CCS project from the source provided in the SDK that will allow me to step through?

Thanks!

    Its not entirely clear what you are doing with these project specs(I assume you are trying to import but please correct if I am wrong), so please provide some clarification on that.  In addition, look at the out of box demo user guide and go to the developer's guide to see how to load in the project to CCS.  You should simply import projects from those folders following those directions; there should be no need to open a project spec file through CCS.  Within CCS, if you right click on the project explorer and select import CCS project, you should navigate within the toolbox to the out of box demo folder, click on src and then the ods folder since you are using an ODS board and then click select folder.  You should see an mss folder pop up.  Hit select all and then import the project.

    The sdk will not contain a project spec file because it contains the source code for out of box demo which is then included in the demo project because it is included in the project spec file in the toolbox for that demo.  You should not be trying to open a project from the SDK, only from the toolbox.
