CCS/AWR1642BOOST: Compile SDK Demo.bin for Visualizer

ENCHI LIANG
Prodigy 40 points
Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, , MMWAVE-SDK

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I used CCS Resource Explorer downloading and installing the mmWaveSDKDemo -16xx project from catalog:

  /Software/mmWave Training/Labs/mmWave SDK Demo

and it installed the project into my c:/ti/workspace_v7/

My xwr16xx_mmw_demo.bin is located

from directory C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_01_01_00_02\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw

and  I burnt the bin file into AWR1642 BOOST board and can use mmw demo visualizer to sense and display data.

I need to change some variable value in source code, inside dss_main.c

I can change and rebuild the downloaded project and use ccs-debug to trace code. 

but can not use the xwr16xx_mmw.bin I built applying to AWR1642BOOST and connect with mmw Visualizer.

but how can I modify the downloaded project and make my own mmw_demo.bin so that I can use mmw demo Visualizer?

Thank you very much!

    Hello ,
    As you have flashed the " xwr16xx_mmw_demo.bin " to the AWR1642BOOST, it will not allow you to download application code to loaded to the MSS program memory (TCMA) and/or DSP L2/L3 memory(xWR16xx only) directly via CCS in the xWR14xx/xWR16xx functional mode.

    To download the "xwr16xx_mmw.bin" from CCS and debug the code, you will need to flash the AWR1642BOOST with the "xwr16xx_ccsdebug.bin" which can be found in MMWAVE-SDK in folder "$mmwave_sdk_01_01_00_02\packages\ti\utils\ccsdebug" .

    Please refer to mmwave-sdk-user-guide.pdf section "3. 2. 2. CCS development mode" for more details on code download and debug using CCS mode.

    Thanks,
    Raghu

    Hi Reghu,
    Thank you for your reply. Yes I know what you say. What I need is I can build a demo.bin can flash ( I called it burnt) into AWR1642Boost and can use visualizer without ccsdebug.bin.
    THANKS!
