AWR1642BOOST: AWR1642BOOST about CCS question

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, MMWAVE-SDK, IWR1443

Hi team,

The customer is using AWR1642BOOST. He would like to import the demo file into CCS. But he cannot import successfully import the demo file.

So, would you explain how to import the demo file into CCS? Which demo file can be import into CCS? 

Can the "mmwave_sdk_<ver>\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw\xwr16xx_mmw_demo.bin"  or  "mmwave_sdk_<ver>\ti\demo\xwr16xx\capture\xwr16xx_capture_demo.bin" be import into CCS?

Are these two demo bin files only downloaded into UniFlash GUI?

Best Wishes,

    Hello Mickey,
    The .bin files are only to download into the onboard serial flash using Uniflash. To load the mmw demo from CCS you need to use the "xwr16xx_mmw_demo_mss.xer4f" and "xwr16xx_mmw_demo_dss.xe674" files from CCS to the corresponding MSS and DSS cores. You can refer to the section 3.3.2 of the SDK users guide for step by step instructions on using the CCS development mode.

    Regards,

    .Hello Mickey,

    'mmw\xwr16xx_mmw_demo.bin' and 'capture\xwr16xx_capture_demo.bin' are the binary images which you need to flash/download to device using UniFlash tool only.

    In mmWave-SDK CCS is used to

    1. debug the demo application where debug images (*.xe674 for DSP and *.xer4f for MSS) are downloaded over JTAG to DSS/MSS cores using CCS GUI.
    2. Build (compile/link) the application where user needs to import application's CCS project to CCS GUI (currently mmWave-SDK has only makefile based build infrastructure not CCS based). To use CCS to build demo application you can find CCS project for mmWave-SDK demo here

    Hi Vivek and Jitendra,

    Thanks for your reply. Currently, many customers use our mmWave sensors. Since these devices are new products, so I will need you help.

    Now there is another customer have some questions about the IWR1443. I will do a new post.
