AWR1642: SAVE Demo-Mode? and How to program AWR1642

Part Number: AWR1642
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hi,

I just want to start evaluating and implement algorithm for AWR 1642. I have not yet developed a radar with TI, so I am here a beginner. So I have 2 simple question which I could not found in several document around the AWR 1642 topic:

1. How can I save the demo-mode from AWR 1642 on my PC in oder to reload it later again?

2. How can I programm AWR 1642? Are there a software guide/ video showing me the right steps?

Kind regards,

Clemens

  • Hi,

    I think you should start getting familiar with the AWR1642 SDK 2.1 oob demo

    The demo configuration is performed from a profile saved in a txt file on the PC Host.

    Programming the AWR1642 is mostly C programming on the DSP integrated in the device.

    thank you

  • My first question has an oteher meaning: I would like to save the current program code of the board on my pc.
  • Hi,

    I don't think I understand what you mean.

    The code is being developed and built on the PC. Then it is flashed to the target board.

    What do you mean by " I would like to save the current program code of the board on my pc."

    Thank you
    Cesar
  • Hi Cesar,
     
    I bought the device AWR1642 and I tested it with the mmWaveDemo tool of TI-web. So there is code running on the board. Before I would like to start to modify to code on the AWR1642, I would ensure that I can flash code which was on the board when I bought it, so that I can again run it with the mmWaveDemo tool.
     
    Kind regards,
     
    Clemens

  • Have you installed Code Composer Studio (CCS) on your PC? This is the tool where you will import, build and debug source code. This is the first step. Once CCS is installed, you must also install a version of the mmWave SDK. Then you can download demos/labs from the mmWave Automotive and Industrial toolboxs, then build them, and flash the 1642 using Uniflash.
