CCS/AWR1642BOOST: Safe Flash-Code which is on the Board deliverd by TI

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK, UNIFLASH

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

Before start programming, I would like to save the original code in the flash which is currently on the EVM AWR1642Boost. I read a lot of documentations, but I could found the procedure for that. Is it possible by CCS?

Could I also load this code on the flash into CCS in order to modify it?

Kind Regards,

Clemens

    Hi Clemens,
    Please refer to section "How to flash an image onto xWR14xx/xWR16xx EVM" in the mmwave_sdk_userguide.pdf in the MMWAVE-SDK.

    You will need to install the UNIFLASH in the PC and provide the right COM ports(Application UART) in the tool and also have the AWR1642BOOST (EVM)in the flashing mode (refer to SOP settings).

    Let me know if this helps.

    Hi Raghu,

    I do not want to flash to the board. I want to get the code out of the flash to save it and modify it. How can I do this?

    Hi Clemens,

    The bootloader will copy the code from the flash and download it the RAM and execute it from the RAM.

    I do not understand what you are looking to modify here. But this is the way to bootloader works .

    Hi Raghu,

    I run my EVM with the mmWave_Demo_Visualizer. There is a button to only send the configuration. So I assumed that there should be SW already on the board which only need to be configured. Maybe I am wrong and the mmWave_Demo_Vislualizer sends the whole built DSS-SW down. If so, can I get the source code and the built source code of the Sw sendt by the mmWave_Demo_Visualiszer in order to adapt it in CCS?
    Do you knwo who I get the information which sw and which sw version is on the board?

    Hi,
    mmWave Demo Visualizer doesn't load any software image to device, it just sends CLI commands over UART to device.
    An application (mmw demo) runs on device (which is flashed on it), recieves this CLI command and act accordingly.
    This mmw demo is available in mmWave SDK which you can download and modify this application as required.
    And this mMWave SDK comes with all the required documents (user guide, demo doc etc.) which you can use to start with this application.
