CCS/AWR1642BOOST: Capture Demo

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

HI,

I recently tried programming the capture demo, but I can not finish step 5.a or 5.c. I found that I did successfully load the files in step 5b.

When I try to access the Eval board. I just get a blank screen on the putty, and the gcaptureMCB variables are all wrong when running. It looks like the code is stuck here on line 1385

    while( (gDemoCfg & 0xFFFF0000) != CAPTURE_CTRLPATH_MAGICWORD);

DO you have any idea what may the issue?

Best Regards,

Jeff

    Hi,

    Please review the steps to run the capture demo.

    You mentioned that you are not able to complete step 5a, this means that you can't send the commands. Is this correct?

    You will need to debug this first, before going to step 5b and 5c

    Thank you

    Hi,

    What .bin file are you suppose to load in to this AWR1642 boost board for step 1 anyway? It doesn't mention which. Instead, it just loads the board into functional mode.

    Currently, I am using the CCSDebug.bin file from the mmWave SDK 1.1 according to another TI Engineer

    Previously, I tried using the capture_demo.bin file from the mmWAVE SDK 1.1 and completed steps 1-5a successfully, but failed at step 5b. Do you have any idea which one I should use?

    Also, have you successfully run this demo on your side?

    Best Regards,

    Jeff

    You should be loading the demo's .bin file, not the CCS Debug .bin file, which contains no operational code.  You could not have loaded the configuration as shown above without either flashing the demo's .bin, or loading the individual core executables from within CCS.  The demo does work, just make sure you carefully follow all of the instructions.
