CCS/IWR1642BOOST: Error while building Driver Vital Sign in CCS

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, IWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hey,

I have tried Driver Vital Sign demo from Automotive toolbox for AWR1642 and IWR1642.

For AWR1642, I didn't encountered any errors and code worked perfectly. I received vitals on GUI totally fine.

But, As I am trying to build this code for IWR1642, I am getting linker and memory range errors.

I am attaching screenshot of erros:

One more thing I would like to know is how much different IWR1642 is from AWR1642.

Thanks in advance.

  • Anurag,

    It is not entirely clear what you are asking in your initial post. You will need to provide more information about the steps you took to build the vital signs project for both the AWR1642 and the IWR1642. The screenshot does not give a lot of information to go off.

    AWR1642 is rated for a greater temperature range then IWR1642 since AWR1642 is targeted more for automotive applications.

  • Thank you Kyle for your answer.

    I would like to ask that what are changes that I should make in Driver Vital Signs to build it for IWR1642 in CCS, as it is already built for AWR1642.

    That would be of great help and eventually solve my issue.

    The problem is I tried to change following properties:

    I changed Variant from AWR1642 to IWR1642, which further adjusted linkers and other things automatically.

    After Applying these changes, when I try to build it.

    I get various errors that I described earlier.

    So, let me know what are the possible solutions or there are other changes I should consider.

    Regards,

    Anurag

  • Anurag,

    When you changed the variant, it looks like you also changed the linker command file. The linker command file for the DSP is the same for both the AWR1642 and the IWR1642. I would suggest changing the linker command file to dss_mmw_linker.cmd as specified for the AWR1642.

  • Hey Kyle,

    Thank you for your reply, it was really helpful to rectify errors.
    It seems like it was linker problem, it was automatically getting changed as I was opting for IWR1642. Which I had to choose manually.

    As for now, I'm facing other problem with Debug mode. I have started a new thread here: e2e.ti.com/.../716848

    Cheers,
