IWR6843: SBL Stuck at "Parsing Completed" and never booting the downloaded image ...

Part Number: IWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK, UNIFLASH

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Dear Nitin,

In you answer for the post "IWR6843: SBL Stuck at "Parsing Completed" and never booting the downloaded image ..." you mention that the solution for a proper compilation for the SBL for after depliment update for the IWR6843 shall use the tool chain ccs 8.3, you asked this question: "Could you please try the build with the specified tool chain in CCS 8.3?"

I would like to ask, where can I find the list of the specified tool chain in CCS 8.3?

Thank you for your support

Best Regards 

Tomas Alarcon

    Hi Tomas,

    The specific toolchain requirements (ARM CGT version 16.9.6 and other dependencies) are listed in corresponding MMWAVE-SDK release notes and are automatically installed as part of the MMWAVE-SDK installation. You do not need to install any other tools separately.

    My response in that thread recommended CCS 8.3 since CCS versions later than 8.3 install a later version of ARM CGT (18.x) and we have not tested the SBL with that version. Essentially, with CCS 9.x, the later version of ARM CGT becomes available and is automatically used for compilation.

    Regards

    Dear Nitin,

    Yes I got that you suggested to use the toolchain of ccs 8.3, I just wanted to use css 9 or 10 but configuring the toolchain of the 8.3 if is possible, or it is what I understood it is better to do. 

    Thank you

    but compile 68xx_long_range_people_det with ccs9.3.0,  after it generated " long_range_people_det_68xx_demo.bin ", then flash "xwr68xx_sbl.bin" and "long_range_people_det_68xx_demo.bin" with uniFlash tool,  when running , the sbl doesn't work.  

    note:   flash "xwr68xx_sbl.bin" and  C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_3_1\labs\long_range_people_detection\68xx_long_range_people_det\prebuilt_binarieslong_range_people_det_68xx_demo.bin with uniFlash tool,

              sbl work well.

    please do me a faver, how to solve this?

    Hi Tom,

    Please confirm the MMWAVE-SDK version you are using for your own build.

    Thanks

    Hi Nitin,

    As Tom mentioned we are using sdk_03_03_00_03, which SDK do you recommend for it?

    Is it possible to make a .bin for the sbl using an older version ot the ccs and sdk and a .bin for the LABs that we would like to flash in the IWR?

    Thank you 

    Tomas

    Hi Tomas,

    The CCS and compiler toolchain requirements (which are already installed by the specified version of MMWAVE-SDK) are mentioned in the demo use guide under software requirements.

    Please make sure that you use the tools mentioned in the demo user guide. There could be some incompatibility being caused by CCS 9.3 (may be from the newer ARM compiler 18.x which it uses) so please build the demo with the specified CCS and corresponding tools as mentioned above. 

    I would also suggest using the latest version of Industrial Toolbox and the demo from that (which requires MMWAVE-SDK 3.4.0.3) , unless you have a specific reason to use toolbox 4.3.1.

    Regards

    -Nitin
