Hello,

I am trying to flash the device using Uniflash, but everytime I press load image option, shows:

I have used MSS and BSS files from mmwave_sdk_02_01_00_04.
I have tried to use mmwave_sdk_03_01_01_02, but the demo in it does not have AWR1443 files
Can anyone help me out with this??
Hoping for quick response.
Thanks in Advance

    For AWR1443 ES3.0 version you need to use single MetaImage binary file which combines mmw demo and RadarSS binaries in it.
    So in Uniflash you need to select only one binary file which is available in mmw demo directory.

    Thanks Jitendra for helping me with this. If i want to code myself the whole thing , then do I need to flash the BSS and MSS files from UNIFLASH or through code composer.

    Thanks in Advance,

    Hi Yashutosh,
    With AWR1443 ES3.0 you need to create a MetaImage which combines MSS and BSS files in a single file. This MetaImage you need to use to flash to the device using Uniflash.
    Please refer mMWave SDK user guide to get more info about how to build AWR1443 application and run on device (in development mode: CCS or functional mode).

    Thanks Jitendra. There is one more issue I want to ask. When I run the Demo visualizer , in the plots it shows only points for the objects, it does not show the whole width of the object. How can solve this.
    Hoping for Quick Response
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Yashutosh,
    mmWave Sensor will only rely on the reflection of sent electromagnetic wave (in GHz band) and for a wide object it sees multiple reflections from that. In the Visualizer you may see multiple dots when you place this object in front of the sensor.
    Now you need to write another level of intelligence in your application to combine all similar reflection to single big object, the combination of these can be based on the same velocity and moving to the same reference angle.
