MMWCAS-RF-EVM: The cascade radar doesn't boot from SD card

Part Number: MMWCAS-RF-EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWCAS-DSP-EVM,

Hello,

Following this post https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/854512 I went on to implement the demo usecase in the cascade radar. 
I downloaded the RADAR-SDK and I'm going through the Processor SDKRADAR user guide. At step 3.7 it said to refer section 3.5 of the Boot from SD card option on TDA2xx user guide. 

It asks to make MLO from the command "gmake -s sbl". The path it says doesn't have the MLO, instead have these 4 folders as shown. You can see the path on top of that photo. The user guide didn't describe which folder to pick . Also, when I'm generating appimage by the command "gmake -s appimage", the app image is generating in  PROCESSOR_SDK_RADAR_03_07_00_00\vision_sdk\binaries\apps\tda2xx_cascade_bios_radar\vision_sdk\bin\tda2xx-evm\sbl_boot\

When I pick MLO from one of the 4 folders and paste it in my SD card along with the appimage from the above address and turn on my radar, I can't see any logs on the UART window. 

Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong or If I have missed a step which I shouldn't have. Thank you.

  • Hi Asher

    Are you setting the boot pins correctly in the board for booting for SD card? There are dip switches on the board to set up the boot mode.

    Boot modes are defined in Section 29.2.4.4 Booting Device Order Selection of the TDA2x TRM.

    Thanks and Regards

  • Hi Piyali,

    I think I am, and I can verify that the DIP switches are at the right position. I do this by following mmwave_studio_cascade_userguide, I'm able to do step 5 correctly. 

  • Hi Asher

    We are trying to reproduce the issue you are facing and will get back to you.

    Thanks and Regards

  • Hi,

    Can you share your MLO from opp_nom folder and AppImage.

    We can directly check with your binaries.

    Regards,

    Anuj

  • Hi Anuj, Piyali

    Here are my MLO file from opp_nom and Appimage

    Thank you for your help

    MLO_and_appimage.zip

  • Hi,

    I tried to boot with your binary on my setup and it boots up successfully.

    Please chec y our dip switch settings.

    Mine is 111001.

    I got below log

  • Hello Anuj,

    Did you verify on MMWCAS-RF-EVM mounted on MMWCAS-DSP-EVM?

    If I'm verifying the switch location according to the user guide "MMWCAS_DSP_EVM_USER_GUIDE"(SPRUIS6-September 2019), on page 18 it says to have the switches on these position as shown below. 

    Regardless I'll try the switch position that you suggested and will get back to you with an update. 

    EDIT: UPDATE: I set the position of the switch as suggested and it still didn't boot up. I don't see it on tera term

  • Hi,

    Yes my RF board is connected and setup is same as yours.

    Please check your setup once and try to change your power supply.

    Set the dip switch as 111001.

    Regards,

    Anuj

  •  Asher,

    Have you tried booting with just the MMWCAS-DSP-EVM only to see if there is any boot functionality? That can show us if there is a problem with the DSP EVM or with the connection to the RF EVM.

    I know Anuj is recommending another DIP setting, but refer above for how the user guide is recommending.

    Thanks,

    Alec

  • Hi Anuj, 

    I edited my previous post(before you replied) to update that I followed your recommendation and I still didn't get anything on Tera term. Regardless, I changed my power supply, set the DIP switches to 111001 and tried booting MMWCAS-DSP-EVM with and without MMWCAS-RF-EVM and I still got nothing. 

  • Hi Alec, 

    When I started with this project, I was using the DIP switch position as suggested by you (110000). I didn't get anything then. Regardless, I tried booting up MMWCAS-DSP-EVM with and without MMWCAS-RF-EVM and I still didn't see anything. However, I'd like to add that if I follow the user guide of Cascade radar i.e., mmWave studio Cascade Users Guide, I can boot up and see my device spitting up logs and such on the terminal. When I try to follow the user guide of RADAR SDK i.e., PROCESSOR SDK RADAR user guide, I'm not able to boot up after I copy MLO and AppImage to my SD card with the DIP switches on the position told by guide(or you). 

    EDIT: I apologize, I thought Piyali wrote this. Edited this reply to address the correct person.

  • UPDATE: I had a call with Anuj. Found out that there are some hardware missing that I have to get for them to effectively debug the problem (i.e., JTAG, fixed power supply, etc). Changing the SD card didn't help. 

  • Hi,

    Have you ordered new power supply and Jtag as suggested over call?

    Regards,

    Anuj

  • I have an XDS200 already. I ordered a converter that goes from a CTI20 to MIPI60 for the board but I cannot seem to launch the target configuration in CCS. 

  • Hi Anuj,

    I followed the method in the document(ProcessorSDKRadar_UserGuide.pdf)  and got the following results:

    As you can see, it is obviously different from the results in the document. I have tried many methods, but still haven't solved the problem. Could you give me some Suggestions? To be clear, I only changed the value of MAKECONFIG?=tda2xx_evm_bios_radar before compiling the project using gmake.

    Best & Regards,

    Andy

  • Hi,

    Somehow the image is missing in this post.

    Can you please share the screenshot of error

    And share ccs console logs also.

    Have you tried QSPI boot.

    Regards,

    Anuj

  • Anuj,

    I'm using SD boot,can you give me a normal MLO and Appimage for the test. Do you mean I lost the picture just now? Then I will try to upload it again

    Best & Regards,

    Andy,

  • So it is working now for you with SD card.

    Or you want me to try out with your binary at my end?

    Regards,

    Anuj

  • Anuj,

    I would appreciate it if you could do so, or you could send me the MLO and Appimage you are sure to be able to use to eliminate interference caused by other factors.

    Best & Regards,

    Andy

  • Hi Asher,

    As per the call i hope now your QSPI boot is working fine.

    I would suggest you to check your SD card connection or your SD card.

    Regards,

    Anuj

  • Hi Anuj, 

    Thanks for the debugging. The SD card was not made bootable, to begin with. Fixing that error resolved that issue.
