AWRL6432: Question for CLI Remove

Hey Daniel,

Thanks for reaching out regarding the CLI Removal feature. One of our engineers will respond to you within the next two days.

Regards,

Kristien

Hi Kristien

Is there any update?

Thanks

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Sorry for the delay on this topic. It will be some time before we get more feedback from the SDK team on this. I will do some more debug and see if I can replicate your issue. I will follow up in a day or so.

Thanks,

Clinton

Hi Daniel,

Could you check that this file is generated by sysconfig? This file is where the values for the config are picked up. Do the match what you expect based on the json file you input?

Thanks,

Clinton

Hi~

I compared the differences between "ti_cli_mpd_demo_config.h" and my JSON file (CLI_Rem_CPD.json). 

The parameters angleHeatmapGenCfg and clusterCfg are missing, and cfarCfg is missing some arguments. 

What should be our next step? We want to quickly develop the CPD functionality on the 6432 AOP. Thank you!

Below is the content of my JSON file:

Hi,

Thanks for the additional details. I'll work on replicating your scenario and I will follow up. 

Thanks,

Clinton

Hi,

In the mmw_cli.c file of other examples, we noticed that the conditional compilation statement is #if (CLI_REMOVAL == 0 && DYNAMIC_RECONFIG == 1), whereas in 6432AOP CPD example project, it is #if (FEATURE_LITE_BUILD_EN == 0 && DYNAMIC_RECONFIG == 1). Could this be one of the reasons why CLI Removal cannot be enabled? Of course, there is also the issue of incomplete argument import mentioned earlier.

Hello,

Clinton is currently out today, but I wanted to throw in a comment here in the meantime. The CPD demo currently supports SDK 5.4.0.1 which is when CLI Removal was originally called Feature Lite Build. If you import any projects that reference any version at or above SDK 5.5, they will reference CLI Removal instead. These are functionally the same feature but with different names.

Regards,

Kristien

I will try modifying the "Feature Lite Build" name mentioned above and see if that helps. Additionally, do you have any suggestions regarding the issue with ti_cli_mpd_demo_config.h?

Hi,

That also looks like an artifact that this project was build with SDK 5.4.0.1 when it was 'FeatureLiteBuild'. If you take a look at the FeatureLiteBuild.json in that SDK example directory, you'll see it does not contain angleHeatmapGenCfg, clusterCfg and has a slightly different cfarCfg.

C:\ti\MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_04_00_01\examples\mmw_demo\motion_and_presence_detection\profiles\xwrL64xx-evm\FeatureLiteBuild.json

Is it possible for you to move forward with your testing or do you foresee issues?

Thanks,

Clinton

Hi,

thanks
