CCS/IWR1642BOOST: mmWave Sensors Forum

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642, UNIFLASH

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

The following is my question description.

Tolls:CCS 7.2

SDK version: 1.1

mmwave name : IWR1642

My aim: I want to test the "capture_demo" mode.

Process:

1. I load the "xwr16xx_capture_demo.bin" to the board with UniFlash. Success.

2. I use "SecureCRT" to connect to the"User UART" port. I enter 3. then type in the commands in the .txt file. Success.

3.Without powering off the board, connect the board to CCS. Then  load .xe674 to the DSP and load .xer4f to Cortex_R4. Here is the problem.

Loading .xe674 to the DSP , no problem,

but after chossing the .xer4f and press the "OK" button, it seems like the loading procedure past very fast , and just like skiping the procedure. Then the Cortex_R4 runs automaticly and ending with a error. The following is the console message.

Q: What is the problem, how should I deal with it.

  • Hello,

    If you want to debug with CCS you need to load the debug binary found at <SDK_INSTALL_DIR>\packages\ti\utils\ccsdebug.  You have loaded the Capture Demo binary, which is stand alone software that cannot be debugged.  When you connect to the board and try to load the debug files (.xe674 and .xer4f) the board is crashing because it cannot run the capture demo binary and debug with CCS at the same time.

    What you should do:

    1. Load the CCS binary at: <SDK_INSTALL_DIR>\packages\ti\utils\ccsdebug

    2. Using CCS, connect to the DSS and MSS cores.

    3. Load the .xe674 and .xer4f.

    4. You should now be able to run the capture demo in debug mode.

    Regards,

    Justin
