CCS/IWR6843ISK: How to build the meta image with DSS and MSS binaries in CCS

Part Number: IWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have made some modifications to the MMW demo firmware code after importing it to CCS, and I have run it in the debug environment.

In the debug environment, I load the MSS and DSS binaries to the device through the debug interface. How do I create a binary that can be flashed to the EVM with uniflash?

There are 2 binaries in the mmwave_sdk_68xx_dsp_dss/Debug and the mmwave_sdk_68xx_dsp_mss/Debug directories.

How do I build a full binary that can be flashed with Uniflash like the <PROJECT_WORKSPACE_DIR>\mmwave_sdk_68xx_dsp_mss\Debug\xwr68xx_mmw_demo.bin file that comes with the SDK?

Hi Derek,

If you have imported the project via .projectspec included with the lab, then you simply need to Rebuild the project and a binary (.bin file) will be generated in your Debug folder.

I have 2 binaries.

One is the DSS binary and one is the MSS binary.

When I flash the demo, it is one binary that contains both binaries.

How do I create a binary that contains both the DSS and the MSS binaries?

Hi Derek,

The two images are combined into a single meta-image which is then flashed on to the device. There should be in an image in your debug folder named xwr68xx_mmw_demo.bin.
