CCS/IWR1642BOOST: problem with uniflash

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, IWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

hello,

I have IWR1642BOOST device. I need to flash traffic monitoring ( http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AGm7z.fqbTmMHUNc.onR1w__VLyFKFf__LATEST ) code to the device. I tried with CCS and uniflash but it shows following error

I don't know my method is right. Please help me to flash this http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AGm7z.fqbTmMHUNc.onR1w__VLyFKFf__LATEST code to IWR1642BOOST device
  • Hi Pranav,

    You need to select the application metaImage binary file from Uniflash to flash to the device. I see here that you select RadarSS binary file which is not valid.

    You can find the metimage (traffic_monitoring_16xx_lab.bin) under prebuilt_binaries directory.

    Regards,

    Jitendra

  • Hi Jitendra,

    I found four columns in uniflash for meta image (Meta Image 1, Meta Image 2, Meta Image 3, Meta Image 4).

    How many meta image files required.?

    which meta image is traffic_monitoring_16xx_lab.bin ( meta image 1 or meta image 2)?

    And when I build traffic_monitoring_16xx_dss project, it shows 2 errors[ignored].

    but when I build traffic_monitoeing_16xx_mss project, it shows 4 errors

  • Hi Pranav,

    You only need to flash to Meta Image 1. Please make sure you are following the instructions in the Lab User Guide.

    For further Traffic Monitoring queries please open up a new thread.

    Cheers,
