AWR1843BOOST: CCS 20 ROV - Runtime (RTOS) Objects view not working with TI Radars

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST

Tool/software:

I am unable to get the RTOS objects view enabled for TI Radar.

The Hardware I'm working with is TI AWR1843BOOST. It has ARM cortex R4F and C674x DSP. These boards are supported by TI mmWave SDK 3.6.2

I added the necessary paths in the Debug path for project less-debug in accordance to: https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide/ccs_debug-main.html#rtos-objects-view

Kindly help me with this issue.


  • Shambhavi,

    For FreeRTOS awareness the SDK would need to be updated to include the necessary decoding scripts, the format of these is a bit different between CCSv12 and CCSv20.

    However for TI-RTOS it would depend on the version of TI-RTOS this SDK uses.  If it is TI-RTOS 6 (i.e. if you see xdctools being invoked during the build) then ROV cannot be supported.  If it is TI-RTOS 7 then the SDK could be updated with the necessary scripts to enable ROV.

    I am not sure what the plans are for updating this SDK but will loop the Radar team in.

    Regards,

    John

  • Hi John,

    We are working with TI-RTOS. I think, the board I'm using has TI RTOS 6 as we do invoke xdctools for build. 

    I have a follow-up question: For TI-RTOS 6 used with TI Radars, which version of CCS software would be the best to work with?

  • Shambhavi,

    If visibility into TI-RTOS6 is important for you then go with CCSv12.8.1.  

    Regards,

    John

  • Jon,

    Thanks for clarifying.
