CCS/AWR1642BOOST: CCS / AWR1642BOOST: cannot connect ccs

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

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

i have used 5V/3A power.but it did not work.how should i do to connect theAWR1642 to ccs.

the other problem is the uniflash often cannot open the port. should i add 5V/4A power?

  • Qinning,

    When you want to run an application from within CCS, you need to flash the CCS debug image to your device. You then launch CCS and connect to the target and load the applications through CCS. This process is explained in detail in the SDK User's Guide found in the docs folder of the SDK installation. Specifically, take a look at section 3.2.2 "CCS development mode." This will provide all of the information needed to proceed.

    A 5V/3A power supply is sufficient. You do not need to change it. Additionally, when flashing an application to the device using Uniflash, you need to have jumpers across both SOP0 and SOP2. Once the device is flashed, remove the jumper on SOP2, leaving only SOP0 connected.

  • thank you very much.i remove the jumper on SOP2,when the device is flashed,but the error still appear as the followed.

  • i donnot kown whether i have installed Device support package.but i installed all tools which the user's guide asks.whether i need to install ccs v8 to get the laest Device support package ?
  • the same problem appaers,next time.how should i do
  • Quinning,

    Which binary image are you flashing to your device?

    If you are trying to launch your application from within CCS, you need to flash the following image: xwr16xx_ccsdebug.bin

    This image is found here: C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_02_00_00_04\packages\ti\utils\ccsdebug

    After you have flashed this image, then you can open CCS and launch the AWR1642 target configuration. You connect to the DSP core and the MSS core. You load the following programs to the corresponding cores:

    MSS: xwr16xx_mmw_demo_mss.xer4f
    DSS: xwr16xx_mmw_demo_dss.xe674

    These images are found here: C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_02_00_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw

    Then you can start the application from within CCS. You should see several CLI output statements in CCS. You can then send the CLI commands to your device to begin transmitting and receiving.

  • Hi,Kyle

    Thank you very much.

    i do the thing you said.yet, when i load program to MSS core,i appear error

    later, i was suggested that i should load symbols instead of loading programs,as follow:

    but ,it also has problems,as follow:

    i have no idea to solve it. can you help me to deal with it?

  • Qinning,

    It looks like you have a SW breakpoint enabled in your code. When CCS hits the breakpoint, it appears that this causes a runtime exception in the RTOS. Please ensure you have disabled all breakpoints before attempting to run your code.
