Hi ,

i am able to flash the binary file (xwr16xx_odoc_ti_design_lab.bin) of the demo project from uniflash.but i'm not able to know to what i'm flashing either DSS or MSS.

and if i generate a binary file for DSS and MSS ,how do i flash it to the Cortex_R4_0 and DSP seperately .what kind of configuration do i need to make for this.

Please let me know the process.

    Hi Vimal,

    You can't flash MSS and DSS image separately to the device as it requires it to be in MetaImage format. This format contains all three images (MSS, BSS, DSS) into single file.

    When you build MSS application from CCS project, as a post-step it converts MSS and DSS into MetaImage (including BSS) which you need to flash to the device.

    what is extension of the MetaImage and is the MSS and DSS packed with single MetaImage format?

    and How do you flash the MetaImage into the Booster board??

    Hi Vimal,

    In mmWave SDK metaImage file extension will be .bin and as I mentioned earlier this MetaImage file will contain MSS, DSS and BSS firmware in it.

    SDK generates debug image (for loading over JTAG/CCS) for MSS as *.xer4f and for DSS *.xe674 file extension. 

    To flash this MetaImage you need to use UniFlash tool. Follow the mMWave SDK user guide (section-4) for the step to flash image to the device.
