IWR1642: IWR1642 : Programming IWR1642 with CCS

Part Number: IWR1642

Dear TI’s team,

I am working on your IWR1642 BOOST evaluation board.

Currently, I am using the demonstration firmware which is included in the SDK provided from your website. Up to this point everything is fine.

However I need to modify the MSS demonstration firmware in order to match my application.

 

I did not find anything in the SDK to modify the firmware and to program it. However, I read on the TI’s forum that some members use CCS compiler.

 

Hence I am trying to use CCS to do the task. Here what I have tried since several days without success :

-          I created a new CCS project.

-          The Test Connection from the target configuration tab is good. Hence the target (IWR1642 BOOST) is well connected.

-          I put the demo SDK files : libraries & sources codes in my project folder.

-          But I get lot’s compiler errors when I try to compile.

 

At this step I am quiet confused. I do not know what to do more. I assume that there an easier procedure to modify and program the board.

 

Please could you help me ?

 

My questions are :

1 -  is it possible to modify (even slightly) the demo MSS firmware ?

2 -  if yes, can I use CCS compiler to do this task ?

3 - Could you send me some documentations / tutorials / procedures to help me ?

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

Best regards,

Clément.

  • Hi,

    Build instructions using makefiles can be found in the mmWave SDK user guide.

    There are also pre-made CCS projects and instructions for compiling using CCS on the TI Resource Explorer at the following link (under Labs -> mmWave SDK Demo - 16xx)

    mmWave Industrial Toolbox on TI Resource Explorer:
    dev.ti.com/.../

    Please note the following regarding IWR1642BOOST EVM versions:

    - If your IWR1642BOOST EVM has an "ES2.0" sticker, then it will only work with software based on mmWave SDK version 2.0 or above which includes all the latest versions of IWR1642-based labs in the Industrial Toolbox.
    - Older IWR1642BOOST EVMs without the "ES2.0" sticker have ES1.0 devices which require mmWave SDK 1.x. Please check the second table on the Labs overview page to see previous Industrial Toolbox versions which will work with the IWR1642BOOST ES1.0 EVM.

    Regards,
    John
  • Hi TI,

    I find DSS and MSS project folder in Resource Explorer and I have imported it into CCS environnement. It's work.

    Thank for your help.
