IWR1642BOOST: IWR1642 for opening the dss and mss file in the capture folder

Mickey Zhang

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Hi team,

The customer is using IWR1642BOOST. He would like to open the dss file and the mss file in the CCS.

The  dss file and the mss file are in the" mmwave\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\capture\mss and mmwave\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\capture\dss"

folder. 

Q1: Can the  dss file and the mss file that are in the capture folder be opened in the CCS?

Q2:　If they can, how to build the project and open the dss file and the mss file? If you can, would you build a project that include

the dss file and the mss file that are in the capture folder? This can be more convenient for the customer to open.

Q3: I sent this document that is in the attachment to the customer for opening the dss file and the mss in the CCS. 

Is this correct?

    Hi Mickey,

    Below are my responses to your questions.


    Q1: You can open the capture demo in CCS. You can do this by importing it as a makefile project. 

    Q2: The capture demo is not currently available as a CCS project. Therefore, you will not be able to build it in CCS, only edit it. To build the project, one would have to use the gmake procedure outlined in Section 4.4.3. 

    Q3: The mmw demo has already been made into a CCS project through the use of a projectspec file. This is why the mmw demo can be directly built using CCS.

    Regards,
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin,

    Thanks for your help. Would you explain more about how to build a CCS project? The Section 4.4.3 is very brief.

    Could you build a CCS project that t include the dss file and the mss file that are in the capture folder? This can be more convenient for the customer to open.

    Hi Mickey,

    If all you want to do is build the demo, as of right now, the only way to do that is through using the Terminal gmake method outlined in the SDK User Guide. I apologize because I pointed you to the last step of that process by mistake. There are a few things that must be done first in order to build the demo. Section 4.4.1 is where you would actually want to start.

    If the goal is to port the demo to be a full standalone CCS project then a projectspec file would need to be created. You can think of a projectspec file as a template that CCS uses to create the desired project. You can see an example of this projectspec file in the mmWave Training package that is available for download from TI Resource Explorer. Navigate to Software -> mmWave Training and click on the downward facing arrow that appears on the right side of the window. The package is typically downloaded to the C:\ti directory.

    Within the downloaded package, navigate to mmwave_training_1_1_3\demos\demo0005-mmwave-sdk-16xx\demo0005_mmwave_sdk_16xx_pjt and you will see two projectspec files. One for the DSS and one for the MSS. 

    Let me know if this helps at all.

    Regards,
    Kevin
