Part Number: IWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843, UNIFLASH, AWR1443, , MMWAVE-SDK

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I have the IWR6843 board, and i want to use it with mmwave industrial toolbox 3_3_1 lab 20.

At the past i used to use debug mode at previous board of the mmwave.

I experience difficulties when trying to use lab20 at the mentioned toolbox at debug mode.

The lab20 has two sub projects.,both passed compilation.

In order to deal at debug mode,i did the following:

1.load jumper on SOP2

2.connect uniflash

3.power cycle of the board

4.start burning the C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_01_01_02\packages\ti\utils\ccsdebug\xwr68xx_ccsdebug.bin

5.it passed successfully->removing the jumper from the SOP2

6.CCS->compiling the projects DSS MSS->successfully

7.creating target configuration file->load the resulting file->gather files to group->connect to target

8,when connecting to target ,the CCS gets stuck.

I've attached the relevant screenshots.

Please assist.

Hi Gil,

Can you confirm you have power cycled your board after flashing your board and removing the SOP2 jumper?

Hi Akash,
I confirm i did it.

Hi Gil,

It appears your Target Config File (.ccxml) is for AWR1443, make sure you select IWR6843 for this.

Cheers,
Akash

0 gil albo over 5 years ago in reply to Akash Gondalia

Intellectual 725 points

Hi Akash.
I've verified that the target configuration file is for IWR6843.
The image shows the mouse somehow in focus on the AWR1443, but only the IWR6843 is checked.
please assist.

Hi Gil,

When you say it is getting stuck, do you mean it is not loading an executable or that it requires an update or something else? Would you be able to post a screenshot of the actual error?

Hi Akash,

All the pictures that i've attached above show the situation.

anyway,

here are the messages again:

I'm using the IWR6843ISK with lab20 which from the mmwave toolbox 3_3_1

i have the latest mmwave SDK mmwave_sdk_03_01_01_02

the projects MSS and DSS passed compilation.

I've flashed the ccsdebug of the IWR6843 successfully and removed the SOP2 jumper afterwards.

created new target configuration file when selecting only the IWR6843 and XDS110 USB debug mode.

I've saved this ccxml file.

then clicked on the test connection button ,and the result is:

Hi Gil,

Does your "Test Connection" Report have any more information? You may just have a bad USB cable.

Have you been able to run other demos and labs previously?

Hi Akash.
How are you ?
The problem wasn't solved.
I was provided with new IWR6843 board.
I successfully flashed the device with two bin files(one per trial).
one provided with lab20, and another that i generated from my lab20 project.
in both cases, the GUI was functioning well.

But when trying to debug, the issues mentioned above remained.
i did update to the ccs.
i used another usb cable.
i used new project ,importing lab 20.

directions ?

0 Akash Gondalia over 5 years ago in reply to gil albo

TI__Guru 50240 points

Hi Gil,

Can you try this on a different PC?

This is different from what you had first said, you will need to flash the CCS Debug Firmware in order to debug this on CCS.

Have you tried running the board with any of the prebuilt binaries included in either the mmWave-SDK (recommended starting point) or the Industrial Toolbox?

Cheers,
Akash

Hi Akash,
i dont have the resources to check on another pc.
few months ago, i've worked with the 2Tx isk board for people counting and other labs, and it was good at debug mode.
Can you check on the IWR6843ODS-ISK board with the lab20, if it's possible to work on debug mode ?

Hi Gil,

From your last screenshot, you need to update the debug probe. Have you done that? (Click update in the prompt).

Regards,
Justin

0 gil albo over 5 years ago in reply to Justin Curewitz

Intellectual 725 points

Hi Justin.
I did the update stage and while doing this, the CCS got stuck.
I did it several times, and also on the previous IWR6843ISK board .
Also, i checked for updates for the CCS.
The cable is new and arrived at the package of the module.

Can you verify whether the debug mode is functioning at the IWR6843 ?
Thank you
Gil

0 Justin Curewitz over 5 years ago in reply to gil albo

TI__Mastermind 28055 points

Hi Gil,

I can confirm that debug mode works with CCS - I have used it myself yesterday. However, I am using CCS 8.3 - Please check your version by clicking "Help->About Code Composer Studio" in the top left.

Please check some of the hardware settings on the board:
Following the People Counting user's guide, ensure the device is in functional mode. Check both the SOP pins and the Switches.

Justin

Hi Ki-Soo,

I did the Jtag test many times,

0.I'm using the IWR6843ODS-ISK board with XDS110 usb debug mode.

The SDK used is 3_1_1_2

The CCS is Code Composer Studio, Version: 8.3.0.201810301800 ,Build id: N201810301800

1.I've loaded the C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_01_01_02\packages\ti\utils\ccsdebug\xwr68xx_ccsdebug.bin

first connected SOP2->openend uniflash->pressed on the reset button->flashed the bin file xwr68xx_ccsdebug.bin->program load completed successfully->turn off the board power->removed the SOP2 jumper.

2.The projects (DSS & MSS of lab20 were built succussfuly)

3.I've created new target configuration file

*Connection:XDS110 usb debug mode.

*Board of device: IWR6843 (just this.I've verified no other board was checked)

*saved the configuration file

*pressed the test connection->Here's the output:

[Start: Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0]

There is no error message? It never returns? Are you forced to terminate the test manually?

Also, please try updating your TI emulators component to the latest version (Chec for CCS Updates)

Hi again,

This is the message.

When debugging with other type of EVM of TI (2Tx antenna board mmwave) ,the message at the test connection ended with success.

This doesn't happen here.

When checking for updates i get the messages:

Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail.

TI__Guru**** 437671 points

Ah, I see you are using 8.2.0. Could you try updating to 8.3.1? Or better yet, 9.0.1. I believe for the latter, you need to do a clean install of 9.0.1.

Hello,
The root issue is a communication failure between the PC (running CCS) and the XDS110 debug probe on the target.

software-dl.ti.com/.../ccsv7_debugging_jtag_connectivity_issues.html

Can you try checking the serial number for the XDS110 to see if it is valid. And if so, try manually updating the XDS110 firmware with the xdsdfu utility. Please see the below link:

4. Problem.

After all of this update, the problem remains.

I repeated "Updating the XDS110 Firmware" again after "Reinstall the Windows device drivers" and the same message remained at xdsdfu -f firmware.bin -r(The requested device was not found on the bus.)

Excellent! Great to hear and thank you for your patience!

As for others following the thread, this issue was resolved off-line. The root cause for the connection failure was because a required windows driver for the debug probe was not installed. The user did not have the correct permissions and had to escalate the action for IT to handle.

Thanks
