CCS/AWR1642BOOST: Error when running Capture Demo

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, SYSBIOS

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am trying to follow the instructions in the mmWave SDK User Guide to save ADC data in CCS and analyze it offline. As far as starting the capture demo, the instructions in the SDK are vague. TI does not specify the image that should be loaded on the AWR1642 in order for the application to work. I'm conflicted between two images: xwr16xx_ccsdebug.bin and xwr16xx_capture_demo.bin. It would make sense to load the capture_demo.bin (which is what I did) because that would allow me to enter the commands via CLI in Tera Term (I started Tera Term with option 1 - MSS only). I was able to successfully follow the instructions through sending the "sensorStart" command to the AWR1642 via Tera Term, but after connecting to the Cortex R4 via the .ccxml file that I created in CCS, I tried to load the mss.xer4f executable file to the Cortex R4 and I received the following error:

ti.sysbios.family.arm.exc.Exception: line 209: E_undefinedInstruction: pc = 0x00010358, lr = 0x00012d0f.
xdc.runtime.Error.raise: terminating execution

This is really frustrating because I followed the instructions to the T and still received an error. I guess I'm going to retry the process with the ccsdebug.bin file. I'd just like to get some ADC data. Any help would be appreciated!

  • Samuel,

    When you go to load the .xer4f file for the MSS, you need to make sure that you specify the "Load Symbols" option and not the load program option. Click on the right drop down arrow when you hover over the load icon in CCS. Otherwise, you will be trying to load the program and this will not work as you have already flashed the application to your device.
