Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH
Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
Hi,
I'm trying to work through the People Counting lab. I'm having trouble getting people counting to work when I'm launching from within CCS in Debug mode. I've followed the instructions in the Resource Explorer User Guide and advice on the forum. I've successfully built local versions of the MSS and DSS projects and when I upload the resulting binary using Uniflow, it works fine with the Matlab GUI. However, when I switch to trying to run in debug mode the GUI typically fails. I've had a couple times where I launched only from the DSS (by right clicking on the dss project and selecting 'debug as') and everything worked, but a) i couldn't reliably repeat getting it running and b) that only lets me debug one core anyway and duel core debugging will presumably be useful in future. As reiterated below, I've tried launching the code on both cores as described in the User Guide but that has yet to succeed- when I try to connect the GUI times out and crashes.
Any advice on how to get things running and why it is currently failing is much appreciated.
Thanks!
My environement: Windows 7, MMwave_industrial_toolbox_3_4_0, mmwave_sdk_03_01_01_02, ccs 9.1, compiling DSS using TI v7.4.16, compiling MSS using TI v18.12.1.LTS.
I have followed the instructions from the User Guide:
1) reflashed using Uniflash with 'xwr68_ccsdebug.bin'
2) lauched a target configuration as instructed with both processors
3) connected to both processors and loaded the relevant .xer4f/,xe674 files.
4) ran both files.
This is what I get from the terminal after launching, followed by what I get in Matlab (similar outcomes launching .exe vs within Matlab):
