CCS/IWR6843ISK-ODS: Not able to Build 68xx - 3D People Counting

Mohit Chawla

Part Number: IWR6843ISK-ODS
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi Team,

I am using CCS version Version: 9.1.0.00010 and mmwave Industrial SDK version mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_3_1.

I am successfully able to build the binaries for dss : 3D_people_count_68xx_dss.xe674 and mss  : 3D_people_count_68xx_mss.xer4f. But while building 3D_people_count_68xx_demo.bin it is taking a lot of time and continuously I can see the size of binary is increasing upto 470 MB and process of build has not finished yet. I mean it is going on in infinite loop.

Please suggest what is the correct version of CCS/Toolchain to build people counting software.

Thanks and Regards,

Mohit

    Hi Mohit,

    I was able to build the 68xx - 3D People Counting Demo from Industrial Toolbox 4.3.1 in CCS 9.3 without any problems.

    1. Since you are able to build the DSS and MSS .out files successfully, I assume that you have the required SDK version (MMWAVE-SDK 3.4.0.3) installed on your machine but please double check that all the tools are correctly installed.
    2. Upgrade to CCS 9.3 and re-try building the demo.
    3. If the problem still persists:Given that the process is stuck in a loop with the size of the .bin file continuously increasing, it appears that this is a Windows issues such as a lock on the .bin file or some other problem such as a hung-up process etc.
      1. Please delete the existing 68xx - 3D people counting projects from your workspace (physically delete the projects instead of just removing them from the CCS view).
      2. Re-boot the computer and re-import the projects and try again.
      3. Import the projects in a fresh CCS workspace and rebuild.

    Regards

    I saw this issue a few months ago. The problem was that the BSS patch name was not correct in the post build step.  The BSS patch filename has changed from SDK to SDK for xwr6843 devices, so you'll need to check that the name matches the name in the SDK version you are using. You can edit the name in either the CCS project properties, or edit the MSS' .projectspec file and re-import / rebuild the projects.

    Hi ,

    Thanks for the details.

    These are post build steps which are detailed below:

    ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/out2rprc/out2rprc.exe 3D_people_count_68xx_mss.xer4f 3D_people_count_68xx_mss.tmp
    ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/multicore_image_generator/MulticoreImageGen.exe LE 37 0x00000006 3D_people_count_68xx_demo.bin 0x35510000 3D_people_count_68xx_mss.tmp 0xb5510000 ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/firmware/radarss/xwr6xxx_radarss_rprc.bin 0xd5510000 ${WORKSPACE_LOC}/3D_people_count_68xx_dss/Debug/3D_people_count_68xx_dss.bin
    ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/crc_multicore_image/crc_multicore_image.exe 3D_people_count_68xx_demo.bin 3D_people_count_68xx_demo.tmp
    ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/append_bin_crc/gen_bincrc32.exe 3D_people_count_68xx_demo.bin

    Can you please pin point which bss file you are referring to ?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Mohit

    This is the file:

    ${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/firmware/radarss/xwr6xxx_radarss_rprc.bin

    This is the correct filename for SDK 3.4.0.3.  For SDK 3.3.0.3 and earlier, it is iwr6xxx_radarss_rprc.bin.
