IWR6843: Can't copy demo project

user6228344
Intellectual 470 points
Part Number: IWR6843

Tool/software:

Hi,

In order to customize and run the IWR6843, I copied the demo project to another folder and tried to import it with CCS.

However, the message attached is displayed and the project cannot be imported.

Why can't I import it?

Steps taken:

1. Copy the demo project to C:\ti

<demo project path>
C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_06_02_00-LTS\packages\ti\demo\xwr68xx\mmw

2. Import the project copied to C:\ti with CCS

I have developed C2000 in the past, and I was able to copy the project with the above procedure with C2000 and CCSver10.
Is this no longer possible with IWR?

Best,

Regards

    Hello, 

    To import the out of box demo to CCS use the 'import CCS project' option in CCS. Then navigate to the location of the projectspec file. It is true that the demo code is located at the path you mentioned however the projectspec file is not located there. The projectspec is included in the Radar Toolbox. Once you download the radar toolbox, the projectspec file can be found at {RADAR_TOOLBOX_INSTALL}/source/ti/examples/out_of_box_demo/src. For more instructions check the Developer's Guide section of this page. 

    Best Regards,

    Josh

    Thank you for your reply.

    Does this mean that a project cannot be duplicated and used as a separate project?

    If I import and edit the out of box demo, the original source will be changed. I want to keep the original source.

    Hi,

    No Problem. For most all of the radar demos you would not have this issue of the original source being changed. When the project is imported a copy of all the project source code is copied into your CCS workspace (usually located at C:/users/{USERNAME}/{CCS_WORKSPACE}). Then when you make modifications to the files in CCS you are modifying the files in your workspace and not the original source files. Now it's important to note that while this should be the case for almost all demos, it may be that some demos are not set up this way and instead of copying the CCS project just links to the original source code. If you wish to confirm that your project is set to copy the source files instead of link just open the .projectspec file for the project and make sure that all of the project files (usually at the bottom of the projectspec) include the tag action="copy" and not 'link'. 

    Best Regards,
