AWR1642BOOST: Sending distance data across i2c

Hi Saswat,
Yh so i managed to figure out some bits by comparing the build configurations to a demo project and as such copied .cfg file across as it was struggling to build with the HwiP and PDebug. However I now have the following issue:

the errors i'm getting above dont appear when building the srr demo and i dont see why its trying to link the AWR14XX.cmd as im using the AR16XX. the project includes for both my project and the demo ssr project are identical and so i'd have expected to see the same error when building both projects

Hello Rhys,

Looks like when you made the change, it is searching for a path which might be common to both 14xx and 16xx and it's getting it first from the 14xx.
Could you just relocate the AWR14XX to another path and see if it picks the right cmd file?

Hi Saswat,

Thank you for your reply, It does now build, my final stage problem is deploying the project onto the board. When running the debug command I get the error: Load program error. Radar.out Load failed. 

My code is as follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ti/drivers/gpio/gpio.h>

int main(void)
{
     int gpio_0 = 0;
     GPIO_init();
     GPIO_setConfig(gpio_0, GPIO_CFG_OUTPUT);

     while (1)
     {
          GPIO_toggle(gpio_0);
     }

    return 0;
}

I intend to try the i2c driver once i've successfully conquered gpio. 

Hello Rhys,

Are you loading the newly built out on the code? Could you crosscheck for timestamps

Regards,
Saswat Kumar

Hi Saswat,
sorry about how convoluted this is becoming, I'm sharing the configuration and build setup that i'm trying at the moment that I feel has been the most promising:
code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ti/drivers/gpio/gpio.h>

/* BIOS/XDC Include Files. */
/**
* hello.c
*/

int main(void)
{
GPIO_init();
GPIO_setConfig(SOC_XWR16XX_GPIO_0, GPIO_CFG_OUTPUT);
GPIO_write(SOC_XWR16XX_GPIO_0, 1);

return 0;
}

admittedly I a lot of the flags and configs are potentially unnecessary as I copied them from a larger demo project that was also using the gpio drivers. The error regarding the /Debug/.bin file I'm not sure in which property its mentioned to look for it or indeed where I'm supposed to set it such that it gets created/found. Im also uncertain as how worried I should be about the "systemHeap" warning

Hello Rhys,

It will be easier, if you can attach your example project, which environment you are building it in so I can check.

Regards,
Saswat Kumar

Hi Saswat,

I'm having trouble attaching my project either through drag and drop or using the insert command on these text replies. the environment is windows 11 Version 10.0.22631 Build 22631 on x64

Hello Rhys,

Could you try to zip and send it?

Regards,
Saswat Kumar

Radar.zip

in between replying to these i've managed to get past those errors, im now trying to flash onto the board, but the nerr_out flashes and I'm currently looking at the sop[0:2] pins to make sure i've got those set up correctly

Hello Rhys,

Yes, do check it and if you have a working project, please do provide it, you can attach the .out as well so that I can directly run and see if I am getting the same behavior.

Regards,
Saswat Kumar

The .out that I'm trying at the moment is the same as the one in Radar/Debug/Radar.out. I believe I'm successfully debugging with the pins in debug mode (sop0 = 1, sop1 = 1, sop2 = 0). But then I'm turning th board off and switching to funcitonal mode (sop0 = 1, sop1 = 0, sop2 = 0) and turning the board back on and thats where I get the nerr_out led flashing. I'm not entirely sure if I need to do that last step, but I was under the impression that once a project has been debugged onto the board that I then power cycle and run it in functional mode

Hello Rhys,

How are you loading it? Are you flashing it in functional mode using the uniflash tool?

Regards,
Saswat Kumar

im loading it through the debugger in ccs whilst in debug mode

on step 2 when I set the sop pins to functional (sop0=1,sop1=0,sop2=0) and then i load from ccs through the xds110 i get an error saying load program error multiple debuggable cores detected.

regards and Merry Christmas,

Rhys

Hi Saswat, 

after the build step, theres only 1 binary file to choose from in the project for the load step so I'm not sure what you mean or how I would configure it to create a separate individual binaries

Rhys

Hi Saswat thank you for your reply, I've got it up an running now through ccs one last thing (hopefully) is that the demo code wont run unless theres a uart (in this case the visualiser) program that connects to it and initiates the tasks, i was hoping to execute the tasks without the need to connect an external program.

Many thanks,

Rhys

Hello Rhys,

Sorry for the delay as I was out of office, you can pause the code when it gets stuck and find out which portion is not running.
Accordingly, you can remove those parts of the UART in your program.

Hi Saswat, I've found a bit in the documentation for running the demo without the cli:

@section bypassCLI How to bypass CLI
*
* Re-implement the file mmw_cli.c as follows:
*
* -# @ref MmwDemo_CLIInit should just create a task with input taskPriority.
* Lets say the task is called "MmwDemo_sensorConfig_task".
* -# All other functions are not needed
* -# Implement the MmwDemo_sensorConfig_task as follows:
* - Fill gMmwMssMCB.cfg.openCfg
* - Fill gMmwMssMCB.cfg.ctrlCfg
* - Add profiles and chirps using @ref MMWave_addProfile and @ref MMWave_addChirp functions
* - Call @ref MmwDemo_CfgUpdate for every offset in @ref configStoreOffsets
* (MMWDEMO_xxx_OFFSET in mmw_mss.h)
* - Fill gMmwMssMCB.objDetCommonCfg.preStartCommonCfg
* - Call @ref MmwDemo_openSensor
* - Call @ref MmwDemo_configSensor
* - Call @ref MmwDemo_startSensor (One can use helper function
* @ref MmwDemo_isAllCfgInPendingState to know if all dynamic config was provided)

these are the steps it says to follow:

here's what I've done which as far as I can tell are the correct implemtations of the steps:

but i get the error:
Error: mmWave Open failed -203554190 level:2 [Error code: -3106 Subsystem: 156]

which i think is because i've not gone through all the steps correctly

Hello Rhys,

This is an example how to decode it:

You can use the same to decode your error as well.
