IWR6843ISK-ODS: Issue with unit test of mmwavelink library

Stefano,

Will get back on this early next week.

Thanks

Yogesh

Hi Stefano,

I am able to run both MSS and DSS link test successfully from SDK 3.3.0.3.

Quick questions:

1) Are you running both test simultaneously? If yes try both independently.

2) Please do power on reset before executing DSS test.

Let me know if you still observe issue.

Thanks

Yogesh

Hi Yogesh,

1) I run only the DSS-test. If you see my log there are only [C674X_0] prints. 

2) I press the NRST button on MMWAVEICBOOST before load the binaries.

BR,

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

Did you flash ccsdebug.bin @C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_03_00_03\packages\ti\utils\ccsdebug\xwr68xx_ccsdebug.bin before running the link test?

Thanks

Yogesh 

Hi Yogesh,

yes I have loaded the ccsdebug.bin just before run the link test. 

In order to be sure of a cleaning environment I tried to re-install all the sdk3.3.0.03 but I continue to see the same block after the Sensor Start:

Feature: Sensor Start: Passed

In the /test/common/mmwave_test_common.c the next operations (before the next print) are:

/* Wait for 1 frame */
Task_sleep(framePeriodicity*1U);
/* sensor Stop */
if (MmwaveLink_sensorStop() < 0)
{

 ...

Then I suppose the execution is blocked inside the Task_sleep() or the MmwaveLink_sensorStop().

BR,

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

Seem strange. Are you able to run the MSS link test successfully? 

Yogesh

Hi Yogesh,

the MSS-test run correctly only if I launch it before the DSS-test.

Instead if I lauch the MSS-test after the DSS-test, a block happens also in MSS-test. The MSS log is this:

Hi Stefano,

Do you have any other device to test?

Thanks

Yogesh

My collegue try the test with a AWR1843BOOST and has the same problem.

As additional information, I have tried to run the mmwavelink\dfptest and all the test fail:

Maybe the problems could be related?

Thanks,

Hi Yogesh,

I have an additional information.

I have tried to put some debug printf into the code and I have found where the block happened. Inside the function MmwaveLink_sensorStop(void) in link_test.c the DSS is blocked inside the while loop. 

/* if frame stop async event is enable by rlRfSetDeviceCfg API,
then wait for Frame stop async event */
if ((rfDevCfg.aeControl & 0x2) == 0x0)
{
    while(gFrameStartStatus == 1U)
    {
        /* Sleep and poll again: */
        Task_sleep(1);
    }
}

Regards,

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

Could you please download the latest SDK 3.4: http://software-dl.ti.com/ra-processors/esd/MMWAVE-SDK/latest/index_FDS.html

Please flash the OOB demo or xwr68xx_ccsdebug.bin using UniFlash before running the link test.

Thanks

Yogesh
