Hi,
I want to write the temperature data on the txt file by function mmwDemo_mboxReadTask() in the MSS code.
Could you tell me how to call function mmwDemo_mboxReadTask() in Mmwdemo_mssInitTask(...):
void Mmwdemo_mssInitTask(...) 
{ 
   ..... 
   ..... 
    eventHandleNotify_0 = Event_create(NULL, &eb); 
    if (eventHandleNotify_0 == NULL) 
    { 
        MmwDemo_mssAssert(0); 
        return ; 
    } 
    ..... 
    ..... 
     
    MmwDemo_CLIInit(); 
    /***************************************************************************** 
     * Benchmarking Count init 
     *****************************************************************************/ 
    /* Configure banchmark counter */ 
    Pmu_configureCounter(0, 0x11, FALSE); 
    Pmu_startCounter(0); 
    
    rlRfTempData_t tempData = {0}; 
     
    /* Pend on the START NOTIFY event */ 
    Event_pend(eventHandleNotify_0, 
                          Event_Id_NONE, 
                          MMWDEMO_DSS_START_COMPLETED_EVT, 
                          BIOS_WAIT_FOREVER); 
                           
    while(1) 
    { 
        errCode = rlRfGetTemperatureReport(RL_DEVICE_MAP_INTERNAL_BSS, &tempData); 
        if(errCode < 0) 
        { 
            CLI_write("GetTemp API failed \n"); 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            CLI_write("Temperature: %d, %d, %d, %d, %d, %d, %d, %d \n", tempData.tmpRx0Sens, tempData.tmpRx1Sens, 
                                                                        tempData.tmpRx2Sens, tempData.tmpRx3Sens, 
                                                                        tempData.tmpTx0Sens, tempData.tmpTx1Sens, 
                                                                        tempData.tmpPmSens, tempData.tmpDig0Sens);
 /*
 * The place I want to call function mmwDemo_mboxReadTask().
 */
        } 
         
        Task_sleep(1000); 
    }    
}
Best wishes,
Jimmy.

Hi Jimmy,
You can use fopen and fprintf functions in the MSS but this will work while you do debugging from CCS.

Hi Jitendra,

The post https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/784299 said that fopen and fprintf functions would cause the problem below:

And they also make the CCS code crashed.

So, Cesar recommended that we can use function mmwDemo_mboxReadTask.

Are there any example?

Best wishes,

Jimmy

Hi Jitendra,

Could you tell me how to use function mmwDemo_mboxReadTask or other solutions to write data on text file?

I've tried fopen and fprintf functions but they caused the problems above.

Best wishes,

Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,
As mmw demo (MSS and DSS) does the check at every chirp or frame event if last chirp/frame data is processed and sent out over UART is done or not. And if these conditions don't fulfill then it goes into ASSERT (fault).
So to use file write either
- you need to increase the frame periodicity such that sending UART data and writing file events time doesn't go beyond current frame time.
- Or disable all the relevant ASSERT at MSS/DSS which causes fault. But with this change, you may miss a few chirp/frame data.

Jitendra
