AWR1843BOOST: Resolving Build Issues When Combining MSS and DSS .bin Files Using mmWave Image Creator

yuen cheng

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Tool/software:

I am referring to the “mmWave Image Creator User Guide” to combine separate MSS and DSS .binfiles into a single .bin file. I have successfully developed my MSS and DSS projects using CCS, compiled them, and generated the respective .bin files. In the Post-build steps of the MSS project, I added the following commands:

However, when I recompile the MSS project, the build process always stalls at 43%. Below is my build log:
