AWR1843BOOST: Latest traffic monitoring on AWR1843

Feng

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1843BOOST, , AWR1843, UNIFLASH, IWR1843

Hi,

In the latest industrial toolbox 4.0.0, there is new traffic monitoring example on IWR1843BOOST (http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AAd49J3UJXesWW0BZaoiBQ__VLyFKFf__LATEST).

What I have is AWR1843BOOST. So I tried this new version of traffic monitoring on AWR1843BOOST.

After flashing the board, I got an error when I run it as below

I have changed the mode to SOP[2:0]=001 when I run it. And the AWR1843 device is ES2.0 based on the reading of '502AD' on its surface.

My question is do I have to use IWR1843BOOST instead of AWR1843BOOST? I didn't see any functional difference between these two.

Thanks,

Feng

Hello,

Are you sure you have an 1843 Device? Only ES1.0 has been released and the package info should show '502AC'.

The error you are seeing is related to the COM port availability. You should make sure you have the SOP mode set, then hit NRST. Also check that you don't have any other applications open that could be holding onto the COM port (close any other visualizers and Uniflash).

You can test the COM ports by also opening a terminal (Tera Term) for the CFG port at 115200 Baud rate. Hit enter. Then type in version. You should see the device information come back.

Hi,

I'm sure it's AWR1843 with '502AD'. Maybe I'm wrong about that it's ES2.0. By the way, how to tell AWR1843 is ES1.0 or ES2.0?

Thanks. I just want to make sure the latest traffic monitoring example can also work on AWR1843 (ES1.0 or 2.0 or both?).

Thanks,

Feng

Hello,

I've confirmed the same issue as what you've observed. This lab was only tested for IWR1843 since it's part of the Industrial Toolbox. Can you try recompiling for AWR1843 by changing the device from IWR1843 to AWR1832 in both of the projectspecs and then importing to CCS and recompiling?

device="IWR1843" -> device="AWR1843"

Hi,

I tried to rebuild the project with AWR1843 configuration as below.

I got the same error as before.

Would you please try to rebuild the project with AWR1843 configuration?

Thanks,

Feng

I tried what you said to check the version through COM port. It failed. With flashing the .bin file under C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_0_0\labs\out_of_box_demo\18xx_mmwave_sdk\prebuilt_binaries, I can get the correct connection through COM port.

Thanks,

Can you also make sure that IWR1843BOOST with the default .bin under C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_0_0\labs\traffic_monitoring\18xx_68xx_traffic_monitoring\prebuilt_binaries works?

If so, I could order one IWR1843BOOST for quick evaluation. Then I'd solve the problem on AWR1843BOOST with your help later on.

Thanks,

Feng

Hello Feng,

I've verified that the pre-compiled 1843 bin definitely works for the IWR1843BOOST.

Thanks for reporting back your debug steps we'll have to look at what modifications are needed to support AWR1843BOOST.

Hello Feng,

There is an error in the projectspec that was uploaded for 18xx. Please replace the 18xx mss projectspec file with the one attached. Change the extension back to .projectspec and recompile.

The compiled .bin should work with AWR1843 device. I've verified that it runs without error. The toolbox will be updated in the furture with this MSS projectspec
