AWR6843: AWR6843ISK - mmWave SDK Demo - DSP Version

Part Number: AWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS, IWR6843,

Hi all,

I have a compile issue in the out-of-box demo lab of the title (link). 

The console shows this error:

The AWR68XX device is not currently supported.

"C:/ti/bios_6_73_01_01/packages/ti/sysbios/family/c64p/Settings.xs", line 210: Error: Unsupported device!

Is there some version requires for the BIOS?

Thanks,

Stefano

  • Hi Stefano,

    Are you building the OOB demo within the SDK using makefiles, or are you using one of the CCS projects provided in either the Industrial or Automotive toolboxes?

  • Hi Dave,

    I don't use any makefile.

    I have downoladed the Automotive toolbox(3.0.0) directly from the CCS9.3, then I have imported the project inside the CCS and try to compile. I am using the sdk3.4.0.3

    BR,

  • Hi Stefano,

    That's what I thought.  I believe the problem is the device="AWR6843" statement in the projectspec is not compatible with your CCS installation.  The simple solution is to change it to IWR6843 and re-import the projects. There is no disadvantage in any way of doing this.  The extreme solution is to install a new version of CCS.  CCS version 9.3 should have all the updates required, so I don't know yet why you see the error.  I see it as well with CCS 9.1.  The correct solution is to update your CCS install, and I'm trying to figure out what needs to be updated.

    If you are able to import the projects successfully, then your "mmWave Radar Device support" is up to date (i.e. it includes AWR6843). If the import failed, then you would need to update this package by going to Window->Preferences->Install/Update and finding the mmWave Radar Device Support under "Uninstall or Update". In your case, I think this is okay.

    I will update this when I have the missing piece.
