IWRL6432AOPEVM: Getting strated with IWRL6432AOPEVM

Part Number: IWRL6432AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software:

Hello,
I purchased the IWRL6432AOPEVM to explore the capabilities of this chip. First, I ran the preloaded demo program and examined its functionality. There were no issues at this stage. Next, I set a goal to run the demo project through the debugger and verify that everything works. This is where I encountered problems. Below is the sequence of my actions:

  1. Importing the demo project. I found the project “mmwave_demo_xwrL64xx-aop_m4fss0-0_freertos_ti-arm-clang” in the resource explorer and added it to my workspace.

  2. Enabling the “Reset the target on connection” option. Without this, debugging would immediately crash into the error handler.

  3. Starting debugging. Run → Debug → Resume.

  4. Launching the visualizer on the PC and following the demo instructions to select the appropriate configuration and upload it.

  5. At this point, the microcontroller program encounters an error. The debug console outputs the following message:

    [Cortex_M4_0] ASSERT: 28.487693s: ../mmw_cli.c:CLI_MMWaveSensorStart:2458: 0 failed !!!

    According to the call stack, the program crashes at the following function call:

    /* FECSS RF Power ON */
    retVal = rl_fecssRfPwrOnOff(M_DFP_DEVICE_INDEX_0, &gMmwMssMCB.channelCfg);

    I also tried enabling CLI_REMOVAL, but the result was the same. Here is the console log:

    Error: mmWave Control Initialization failed [Error code -203227582] [errorLevel 2] [mmWaveErrorCode -3102] [subsysErrorCode 16272] Warning! BPM is not supported on this device Error: FECSS RF Power ON/OFF failed Exception: ../mmw_cli.c, line 2458.

How can this issue be resolved?

  • Hello,

    Are you flashing the "empty.debug.appimage" binary via Uniflash first before going to Code Composer Studio and loading the .out of your project?

    Located at C:\ti\MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_05_03_00\examples\empty\xwrL64xx-evm\m4fss0-0_freertos\ti-arm-clang\empty.debug.appimage

    Best Regards,
