CCS/IWR6843ISK: Problems regarding to rebuild MSS project in vital sign demo

Part Number: IWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi all,

I am playing with the IWR6843ISK lately and am trying the vital sign demo. I was trying following the developers' Guide and compiling the code in CCS. 

According to the guide, after successful rebuild the MSS project (I am just using the original code, didn't change anything), three files should appear in the Debug folder: 

vital_signs_68xx_mss.bin,

vital_signs_68xx_mss.xer4f

vital_signs_demo_68xx_mss.bin

And if I want to execute the code in deployment mode, I just flash the "vital_signs_demo_68xx_mss.bin" using Uniflash.

But, after I did the rebuilding, I only got on bin file in the folder, which is "vital_signs_demo_68xx.bin" (note there is no "mss" in the file name). And I have vital_sign_68xx_mss.xer4f.

The build console didn't give me any error. But I do have some ".tmp" file generated and the build console told me "Failed to remove CRC temp file".

I tried to flash the bin file generated anyway, but it didn't work when I tried the GUI file. I noticed that in this case, the DS2 LED is always on. But when I tried the prebuilt binary and the GUI worked fine, this light is only on when the board was in flash mode, and went off in functional mode. Does this indicate that something is wrong?

Could someone give me some guidances on what I did wrong? Is this could be due to the version of the CCS I am using? I am using CCS 7.4 now. 

Thank so much!
