AWR1843: Errors while building a project (BEam forming)

Part Number: AWR1843

I get the following errors while building the beamformign project in CCS Studio

While re-building the dss file : 

While re-building the mss file: 

Please advise on what I may be doing wrong

  • Hello Mihir,

    It looks like you have a function which doesn't have the sufficient arguments.
    Could you send which function are you referring to?

  • I just commented that part of the code (related to communication over CAN, however we are going to use the sensor over UART. The dss was built without any errors. However while building the MSS file following errors/warnings show up? How to go about it? I am using the default automotive toolbox 3.06's beam_steering dss and mss files, and still these errors pop up while compiling code in code composer studio.

    Error in DSS code compilation:

    MSS build:

    '

    Can you help me understand why these errors show up and how to go about it. Additionally the bin file made up doesnot work with the AWR 1843BOOST module. Also does this .bin file support visualisation on TI's demovisualizer?

  • Hello Mihir,

    Looking at the errors, looks like you have modified the code and in some of the issues there is a mismatch in the return type and the type of variable you have declared.
    For more information on these errors you can search the same on the net and you can find information on each of these errors.
    These are all code errors which can be fixed by matching the data types and also going through the function prototype to understand what the parameters of the function and what are the data types required for the same.

  • Still getting the issue, despite using default mmwave automotive toolbox 3.6.0.0 MRR Beam steering file to build the firmware

    Can you please check it at your end. I have loaded the default mss and dss files without any changes, and hence I am sure there is some other fault. Can you help me out?

    I get following errors for default dss:

    and following errors for default mss:

  • Hello Mihir,

    Did you revert back those changes? or you downloaded it again and then tried the experiment?

  • Hi Saswat.

    The same issue still persists when trying to build  the  project.

    Can you send me the link where I should downlaod the exact MRR beamsteering demo, that works without any issues, to ensure we are referring to the same version of files

  • Hello Mihir,

    Please refer to this link MRR Beamsteering (ti.com).
    Also instead of building, could you use the pre built binaries first and check whether it is working?

    Regards,
    Saswat Kumar

  • The prebuilt binary works fine. More so I am sure about no issue with the sensor, since its CCS studio that is unable to compile the code without errors which has got nothing to do with the sensor

  • Hello Mihir,

    Could you reinstall mmWave SDK 3.2.0.4 and then try the exact steps?
    If possible, also create a separate workspace for the CCS project and not in the same workspace.
    Follow the exact steps mentioned in the section: 

    Building from Source Code and Running
