IWRL6432: Segmentation fault when building project with Linux CCS

Hello, 

I have some questions to help me better understand the issue. 

1. What version of the mmWave L SDK is used? 

2. Are you simply trying to rebuild the example project as is? Or have you made some custom modifications to the example project?

Best Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

I am using MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_03_03_00 with ccs1250.

I can rebuild the example project without issue. My own project was based on "motion_and_presence_detection" and add modification. And per logs, compliing is passed but fail at boot image phase.

Let me know.

Thanks

Brad

Thanks Brad, 

Can you let me know a bit about the extent of your modifications? For example, are all the modifications confined to within the application code? Have you modified the file makefile_ccs_bootimage_gen for changing the shared memory setting, etc..? 

Best Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

Yes, I have modified makefile_ccs_bootimage_gen. Please find diff screen below. Left side is SDK original, right side is my modification. You think it affect the result?

Hi Josh,

I have modified the makefile_ccs_bootimage_gen, disable AUTH part. Please check.

Hi Brad, 

Thank you. Those changes should be okay. Can you confirm if you have installed Mono Runtime? This is a required step for creating application binaries in a linux environment. 

These instructions can be found in the SDK documentation at {SDK_INSTALL_DIR/docs/api_guide_xwrL64xx/SDK_DOWNLOAD_PAGE.html

Best Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

Yes, I confirm mono was installed. I can build original example project without issue. But I don't know why does it build fail with my modification. My ccs project files was generated on Windows. Does it affect the result?

Thanks

Brad

Hi Brad, 

Thanks for the confirmation. Have you been able to check if the same project which fails to build in Linux CCS is successful on Windows OS? 

Best Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

The project build pass with Windows CCS but fail with Linux CCS.

Thanks

Brad

Hi Brad, 

Thank you. I have not seen this issue before with any mmWave radar projects. I need to reach out to some other groups at TI and see if they have seen this issue before with Windows vs Linux CCS. Please give me a few days to get back to you. Thank you for your patience. 

Best Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

How is things going? Could you kindly let me know?

Thanks

Brad

Hi Brad, 

My apologies for the delay. Unfortunately I do not have any update for you at the moment but I am still looking into this issue. 

Can you also let me know what linux distribution you are running? These are the official versions supported by CCS 12.5:

Can you also let me know more about the impact of this issuue on your project? Is it practical for you to perform the build on Windows?  Is your project at production stop due to this issue?

Thanks and Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

Sorry for the late response due to holidays in Taiwan. My Linux distribution is Ubuntu18.04 64bit

The reason I build with linux was due to, my customer and my team both need to use Linux for alignment. So I cannot use Windows.

The issue blocks my CI/CD pipeline on Gitlab.

The project is not at production yet.

Thanks

Brad

Hi Brad, 

Thank you. I understand the importance of this issue for you. There should have been a temporary text file generated during the build named "temp_stdout_Debug.txt" can you please share this file?

Best Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

I cannot find the file you need. Could you advise the path that I can find it?

Thanks

Brad

Hi Brad, 

the log file should be present in the build directory. Since you are using CCS it should be found within the project in your CCS workspace. Based on the console message you provided earlier I believe it should be located at the directory /builds/radar_rs01/hb/copy-of-hummingbird-radar-on-wnc/project/ti_6432_app_golden/motion_and_presence_detection_demo_xwrL64xx-evm_m4fss0-0_freertos_ti-arm-clang/Debug. 

Regards,

Josh

Thanks Brad, 

This seems to confirm that the failure is happening during the MulticoreImageGen process. I am contacting our SDK team regarding this issue and will try to get back to you in 1-2 days with an update. 

Best Regards,

Josh

Brad, 

Can you also please confirm that the file "mmwave_rfs_rprc.bin" is present at the specified directory? In your case it seems it should be located at "/builds/radar_rs01/hb/copy-of-hummingbird-radar-on-wnc/project/ti_6432_app_golden/firmware/mmwave_dfp/rfsfirmware/xWRL6432/"

Best Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

Yes, the file is present when building project fail.

Hi Josh,

Could you let me know if you get information from SDK team?

Thanks

Brad

Hi Josh,

I am waiting for update from you. Kindly let me if any news. This issue is critical for me.

Thanks

Brad

Hi Josh,

Could you please update current progress?

Thanks

Brad

Hi Brad, 

My sincere apologies for the delay here. I have been out of office and it seems your post was not appropriately handled during my absence. From my understanding we have still not been able to reproduce your issue or identify the root cause of it. To take a step back, I wanted to ask if you have tried uninstalling and re installing the SDK itself? Furthermore, can you verily the required build tools are present at the following paths and the files have execute permissions? 

• appendBinCrc - {SDK_INSTALL}/tools/boot/appendBinCrc
• multicoreImageGen - {SDK_INSTALL}/tools/boot/multicoreImageGen
• crcMulticoreImage - {SDK_INSTALL}/tools/boot/crcMulticoreImageGen

Best Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

Thank you updating the thread. I wish I could share how to reproduce the issue with you. But this issue is kind of random. And yes I tried uninstalling and installing SDK. And I am able to reprouce the issue on different PC. For files under paths that you share, I do give execute permission, otherwise CCS will complain about permission error.

Thanks

Brad

Hi Brad, 

We are still looking into this issue. Thank you for your patience. 

Can you please confirm that you have installed the linux version of the SDK? Also can you let me know if you have experienced the same issue with a previous version of the sdk or if you have only noticed the issue with SDK 5.4?

Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

I encountered the issue with Windows SDK 5.3.3.0.

I will try if SDK5.4 have the same issue or not.

Thanks

Brad

Hi Josh,

I tried Linux SDK5.4.0.1. Not like before. It does not fail at MulticoreImageGen, now it fail at appendBinCrc. Please check logs below.

Brad, 

Thank you for the update. Can you again let me know the content of temp_stdout_Release.txt when the error happens? Can you also please make sure that the files under {SDK_INSTALL}/tools/boot have execute permissions after you re installed the SDK? Also have you tried rebuilding the demo code directly from makefiles (make) instead of using CCS? The process for doing this can be found on this page (xWRL6432 MMWAVE-L-SDK: Using SDK with Makefiles (ti.com))

Best Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

I confirmed files under tools/boot have execute permission.

The reason I use CCS is because my customer is using CCS but not makefile. To avoid un-sync issue, so I have to follow with CCS. Makefile method works fine but that is not my goal.

Attached content of temp_stdout_Release.txt for your reference. It looks like tools cannot open appimage?

Parsing the input object file, Release/motion_and_presence_detection_demo_xwrL64xx-evm_m4fss0-0_freertos_ti-arm-clang.out.

Hi Josh,

I checked further. When it fail, it does not contain appimage in target dir. So it look like appimage was not generated in previous step?

chmod +x ti_cgt_armllvm_2.1.3.LTS_linux-x64_installer.bin

./ti_cgt_armllvm_2.1.3.LTS_linux-x64_installer.bin (install at ~/ti)

sudo apt-get install mono-runtime

Then rename the file ~/ti/MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_04_00_01/tools/boot/out2rprc/out2rprc.exe -> out2rprc (remove the .exe extension)

chmod +x MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_04_00_01/tools/boot/out2rprc/out2rprc

Then import the motion and presence detection example from the SDK to CCS.

Then replace the makefile_ccs_bootimage_gen with the modified version you provided.

Then build and the boot image is successfully created.

Are you able to give the above steps a try with a fresh setup?

Best Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

I still see error after performing your steps. Please check the logs. Thank you.

Hi Brad, 

Was this on a clean ubuntu setup? Can you also confirm that all of the steps were successful with no errors and still the appimage creation is failing?

Regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

Yes, this was a clean ubuntu setup. And I saw no errors during setup. The only difference is that my server is Ubunt18.04 and I cannot change it.

I think maybe you can provide a debug version of files under tools? (appendBinCrc/crcMulticoreimage/MulticoreImageGen) So I can recreate issue with more debug information. 

Thanks

Brad

Hi Brad, 

I've just followed up on email. Please check your inbox. 

Best Regards,

Josh
