CCS/AWR1642BOOST: DSS/MSS .bin files

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I have been following the developer guide instructions for MMWave short range radar lab found in Ti-rex and have finished building the dss and mss projects so that the following files have been created under respective directory.

srrdemo_16xx_dss -> Debug:

  • srrdemo_16xx_dss.bin

  • srrdemo_16xx_dss.xe674

srrdemo_16xx:mss -> Debug:

  • srrdemo_16xx_mss.bin

  • srrdemo_16xx_mss.xer4f

  • srrdemo_16xx.bin

In the next step in Deployment mode a .bin file is to be flashed on to the EVM, which file? The instructions mention a .bin file called “xwr16xx_srr_lab.bin” but a file of that name is nowhere to be found on my system. Furthermore, what is the purpose of the multiple .bin files created when it clearly is stated that only one file is supposed to be deployed onto the device?

  • Hi,

    It seems that there is a typo in the documentation

    The file that you need to flash to the board is "srrdemo_16xx.bin".

    The tool chain produces individual .bin files for mss and dss first. Then there is a utility that combines the 2 files to create the final demo bin file

    thank you
