AWR1843BOOST: Empty project with mss/dss that can be flashable with output file

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843,

Hi, 

I'm using the CCS v12.1 and radar toolbox 1.10.00.13, mmwave_sdk_03_06_00_00-LTS.

and i want to develope radar SW myself. So I created an empty project with mss/dss based on awr1843.

A simple code was written and confirmed to operate normally with ram download.

I checked the simple code operating with RAM download.

but i generate a flash image with this output file and burn it, the dsp does not work.

  - dss post build step: 

    >>${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/out2rprc/out2rprc.exe ${ProjName}.xe674 ${ProjName}.bin

  - mss post build step: 

   >> ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/out2rprc/out2rprc.exe ${ProjName}.xer4f ${ProjName}.bin
   >> ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/multicore_image_generator/MulticoreImageGen.exe LE 37 0x00000008 xwr18xx_xxxx_flash_image.bin 0x35510000 ${PROJECT_BUILD_DIR}/xxxx_mss.bin 0xb5510000 ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/firmware/radarss/xwr18xx_radarss_rprc.bin 0xd5510000 ${PROJECT_BUILD_DIR}/xxxx_dss.bin
   >> ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/crc_multicore_image/crc_multicore_image.exe xwr18xx_xxxx_flash_image.bin xwr18xx_xxxx_flash_image.bin.tmp
   >> ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/append_bin_crc/gen_bincrc32.exe xwr18xx_xxxx_flash_image.bin

Actually I tried many things, but it didn't work out..

Please can you upload an empty project with mss/dss based on awr1843 that can be flashable with output file?

Thanks,

John.

    Hi,

    You will need to create images for both mss and dss

    The projects we have available are either in the SDK or the Radar Toolbox

    Here is an example

    RadarToolbox\radar_toolbox_1_20_00_11\source\ti\examples\ADAS\medium_range_radar\src\1843\mrr_dss.projectspec

    RadarToolbox\radar_toolbox_1_20_00_11\source\ti\examples\ADAS\medium_range_radar\src\1843\mrr_mss.projectspec

    Here is the ImageCreator utility User Guide

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_06_00_00-LTS\packages\scripts\ImageCreator

    Thank you

    Hi, Cesar.

    I want to create an empty project that is flash programable and has only main.c file.

    I already know aboud the mrr example project. But there were some problems.(Complex problem where I have to delete existing code in order to develope signal processing algorithm, DSP stops when I try halt debugging, etc)

    Can you upload an empty project with mss/dss based on awr1843?

    Thanks,

    John.

    Hi

    Unfortunately our support team does not have an empty project.

    I recommend that:

    First please disable the interrupts used in this project (search for listenerCfg)

    • MRR_MSS_chirpIntCallback (mss_main.c)
    • MRR_MSS_frameStartIntCallback (mss_main.c)
    • MRR_DSS_chirpIntCallback (dss_main.c)
    • MRR_DSS_frameStartIntCallback (dss_main.c)

    Second please identify the tasks created in the mrr example project (both mss and dss) by searching for "Task_create()" API.

    • Task_create(MRR_DSS_mmWaveTask, &taskParams, NULL);(dss_main.c)
    • Task_create(MRR_DSS_initTask, &taskParams, NULL); (dss_main.c)
    •  Task_create(MRR_MSS_mmWaveCtrlTask, &taskParams, NULL); (mss_main.c)
    • Task_create(MRR_MSS_initTask, &taskParams, NULL); (mss_main.c)
    • Task_create(MmwDemo_mboxReadTask, &taskParams, NULL); (mss_main.c)

    Then please comment out the Task processing functions.

    This should remove most of the functionality of the demo

    thank you

    I tried it the way you suggested, but there is still a problem that the dsp stops working when I break(arm and dsp at the same time) to debug mrr demo project.

    Can you explain how to create an empty project with mss, dss based on awr1843boost?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I searched the if there are any other SDK examples that could be useful for this application and I have found this utility

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_06_00_00-LTS\packages\ti\utils\ccsdebug

    This is an application that is used to initialize both mss and dss for CCS use. It is a simple application that waits in a while() loop after initializing the devices.

    Please use this as reference for your project

    thank you

    Cesar
