CCS/IWR1642BOOST: Automatic data output on Demo Visualizer project

Matteo Sartori

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello everybody.

I'm using the Demo Visualizer, I need to load the configuration directly on the firmware (I've already changed the mmw_mss project to get baudrate I need).

I want that device begines immediately to send data when it's supplied.

So I'd like to add the external commands for configurations directly in the firmware, included sensorStart.

What should I do?

Thanks.

Regards.

Hi Wesley,

thanks, it's a very useful ticket, but it's not compatible with current mmw mms demo project.

Indeed there are a lot of differences in cli.c file or in the managnement of the configuration.

So, is there a similar solution for the project that now it's installable from Resource Explorer?

I think that it's version 2.0.

Thanks.

Regards.

I've tried also the solution descrived in this thread, very interesting, but it doesn't work.
I've no error in compilation but when I switch the device nothing happens, and I can't control it by UART.

Ok, I found a solution using CLI_ByPassAPI!

This is the code change in the CLI init:

    /* Open the CLI: */
    if (CLI_open (&cliCfg) < 0)
    {
        System_printf ("Error: Unable to open the CLI\n");
        return;
    }

    if (CLI_ByPassApi(&cliCfg) < 0) CLI_write("Errore nella configurazione\n\r");
    else CLI_write("Tutto OK!\n\r");

    System_printf ("Debug: CLI is operational\n");
    return;
