AWR2944P: How to configure AWR2944ECO in SDK 4.7?

Part Number: AWR2944P
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2944, , SYSCONFIG

Tool/software:

Hi team,

The customer wants to develop AWR2944ECO on SDK4.7, but the customer previously established a project based on AWR2944, and encountered the following issues:

  1. Can they continue to use the AWR2944 project? If they continue to use it, there will be errors due to mismatch between SDK version and chip type.

  2. If they don't continue using the AWR2944 project, do they need to create a new project? Can they replace AWR2944 with AWR2944P in the ccxml?

  3. How to create a new AWR2944ECO project for debugging in CCS20 version? Or can they only select AWR2944P?

  4. If CCS20 is not suitable, can they use older versions of CCS?

  5. If possible, could you provide a simple guide to help the customer quickly debug AWR2944ECO on SDK4.7

BR,

Roy Zhuang

  • Hi team,

    When customer import project from SDK 4.7,CCS don't find 2x44p project in below path. Can you tell me how to import the awr2944eco project?

  • Hi Roy,

    Can they continue to use the AWR2944 project? If they continue to use it, there will be errors due to mismatch between SDK version and chip type.

    Is customer using 2E44ECO or 2944ECO? Did they modify anything in the MCU+SDK of AWR2944 (Changes in SBL, drivers)?

    Are you asking about CCS project or SW migration from AWR2944 to AWR2x44ECO? If you are referring to CCS project to import the application into CCS, customer can refer to OOB demo CCS projects located at C:\ti\radar_toolbox\source\ti\examples\Out_Of_Box_Demo - Radar Toolbox.

    How to create a new AWR2944ECO project for debugging in CCS20 version? Or can they only select AWR2944P?

    Customer can select AWR2x44P device in the CCS project.

    If CCS20 is not suitable, can they use older versions of CCS?

    CCS 20.x has support for AWR2x44P by default. If customer wants to use CCS 12.x, they can refer to the steps mentioned in the below screenshot -

    If possible, could you provide a simple guide to help the customer quickly debug AWR2944ECO on SDK4.7

    Can you list the topics that you are referring to?

  • Hi Samhitha,

    1.

    Are you asking about CCS project or SW migration from AWR2944 to AWR2x44ECO? If you are referring to CCS project to import the application into CCS, customer can refer to OOB demo CCS projects located at C:\ti\radar_toolbox\source\ti\examples\Out_Of_Box_Demo - Radar Toolbox.

    Customer have tried this, but cannot build it successful, and customer don't need M4 core:

    2.

    CCS 20.x has support for AWR2x44P by default. If customer wants to use CCS 12.x, they can refer to the steps mentioned in the below screenshot -

    In SDK C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\tools,  don't have the file named: CSP.zip

    3.

    Can you list the topics that you are referring to?

    Customer just want to create a  project of AWR2944ECO, so they can debug AWR2944ECO on CCS. Could you please tell me how to create a awr2944eco project?

  • Hi Samhitha,

    The CSP and tools/sysconfig files can get in SDK 4.7.0.1, if SDK version is newer than 4.7.0.1, SDK don't have the two files.

  • Hi Roy,

    The CSP and tools/sysconfig files can get in SDK 4.7.0.1, if SDK version is newer than 4.7.0.1, SDK don't have the two files.

    Latest CCS and Sysconfig already have the support for AWR2x44P device. So, CSP and Sysconfig files are not included in 4.7.1.3 SDK.

    Customer have tried this, but cannot build it successful, and customer don't need M4 core:

    In that case, if customer already have an existing solution for AWR2944, they can update the paths of Sysconfig, device name, SDK, Compiler etc. in AWR2944 CCS projectspec. I am assuming customer didn't change anything in the MCU+SDK of AWR2944 (Changes in SBL, drivers). If they haven't made any changes in MCU+SDK, they can directly replace it with AWR2x44P MCU+SDK.

    Note: Sysconfig of MSS and DSS needs to be generated together. Customer can refer to AWR2x44ECO OOB CCS projects and edit the prebuilt step to remove the generation sysconfig files for DSS_CM4 core. Similarly they can remove DSS_CM4 instance in the post build step of creating multicore appimage.

    Is customer using 2E44ECO or 2944ECO? Did they modify anything in the MCU+SDK of AWR2944 (Changes in SBL, drivers)?

    Can I get some information related to this question?

    Regards,

  • Hi Samhitha,

    Thanks! The customer can now debug normally on the AWR2944ECO.
