AWR2944EVM: Using CCS to load and run project

Part Number: AWR2944EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2944, UNIFLASH

Tool/software:

Hello team,

I Build a project for AWR2944. I import awr2944_corner_radar (dss+mss) project to CCS (12.8.0) from (radar_toolbox_3_20_00_04) and project is build without error (Debug mode). 

I'm working with mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_00_01.

After, I flashing the awr2944_corner_radar_Debug.appimage file to the AWR2294 with the UniFlash application the demo was work.

first question is why the online mmWave Demo Visualizer (4.7) is not connected and I can only see the data with the Automotive_Visualiser (running the gui_main.py)?

Now I want to run the same project at development mode (Jtag debug mode) from my CCS.

I use C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_<ver>\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_<ver>\docs\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_user_guide.pdf" to run an application using CCS. 

just to be sure SOP mode should be functional and the appimage should be awr2944_ccsdebug.appimage?

I got three cores of AWR294X R5_0, R5_1 and C66x in the Debug pane and connect both Cortex_R5_0 and C66xx_DSP core and load program to both (what should I do with  R5_1?)

after loading the core I see they running but at the Automotive_Visualiser I don't see nothing, no data arrive. 

Could you help me understand what the problem?

Thanks Niv.

    Hello,

    To answer the first question, the SDK visualizer should work with the OOB demo flashed on the board. Refer to the "3.4.2. mmWave Demo Visualizer - AWR294X and AWR2x44P" section in the sdk user guide to see how to connect to the visualizer.

    Just for my understanding you are trying to run the OOB demo on CCS correct?

    If that's the case then yes you need to flash the ccsdebug image at this path for the 2944

    C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\ti\utils\ccsdebug

    You do not need to connect to the R5_1 core this is used for functional safety. I will specify the steps further

    1) Connect to R5_0 and DSP core. Conduct a reset on both cores using ctrl+shift+r

    2) Load the .out files for each respective core.

    3) Run the r5_0 core FIRST, followed by the dsp. You should see messages displayed on the console

    4) Then load config with whatever visualizer desired and you'll be able to the data.

    Let me know if this solves the problem

    Best,

    Thanks Gabriel,

    I'm trying  to run the OOB (radar corner) demo on CCS . 

    I'm working with mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_00_01 and you write mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03, if I try to build the OOB Demo with your SDK I got errors (missing library sdl at mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\mcu_plus_sdk_awr294x_10_01_00_04).

    I also use CCS 12.8.0 and radar_toolbox_3_20_00_04, are this version is good if I work with mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_00_01 ?

    If not what is the correct setup to run awr2944_corner_rada demo on CCS?

    I try follow your step with mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_00_01 and see if it works.

    at step 2 I load the awr2944_corner_radar_dss.xe66 file for the DSP and file awr2944_corner_radar_mss.xer5f to R5_0 core is it OK?

    Hello,

    I was just referring to the file path in the SDK.

    It seems there is some confusion here. The corner radar demo from the radar toolbox is not the OOB demo. The corner radar demo is an optimized version of the OOB demo. Could you please clarify what do you want to run? 

    If you want to run the OOB demo the projectspec files are present in the following path in the RTB

    C:\ti\radar_toolbox_3_20_00_04\source\ti\examples\Out_Of_Box_Demo\src\awr294x

    If you want to run the HECR(corner radar demo) then you currently are using the correct projectspec it seems.

    To answer you question, yes the .xe66 file is for the DSP and the .xer5f is for the R5_0 core.

    Best,

    Gabriel

    Thank Gabriel, I manage to run the HECR demo. the online demo visualizer still not connect to my PC and I work with the   the Automotive_Visualiser (running the gui_main.py).

    Hello,

    For reference the online demo visualizer will not work with the HECR demo. The HECR demo only works with the Automotive_visalizer. The online demo visualizer will only work with the OOB demo.

    Best,
