AWR1642BOOST: people counting lab point cloud display failed

user6120592

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642BOOST, MMWAVE-SDK

During the people counting lab, I used debug mode and load xwr16xx_ccsdebug.bin in SDK, and the loaded code did not change.

According to the steps of official documents, binary has been successfully run.

After the GUI connection is successful, clicking start does not show the point cloud, but directly crash.

At the same time, the console display:

warn:read failure the specified amount of data was not returned within the timeout period.

Index out of matrix dimension

when I don't use debug mode and load xwr16xx_pcount_lab.bin in industrial toolbox,there is no such problem.

Why does this happen？How can I solve it

thank you

Hello,

I hope you are using prebuilt debug image files come with the industrial toolbox for this particular demo.

And after loading to MSS and DSS core, let both of cores run and then try disconnecting this before running GUI on PC.

Jitendra

I use debug image files come from SDK 02.00.00.04, xwr16xx_ccsdebug.bin.

and What does " try disconnecting this" means？

Should I disconnect from CCS after running the binary?

I meant to say, while debugging from CCS, you need to disconnect DSS and MSS core from CCS JTAG debugger (from GUI) after loading and executing the MSS/DSS core.

I'm not sure if this is actual cause but when CCS is connected to either of Cores (DSS/MSS), application runs slow by a slight amount as JTAG debugger trying to access device's memory or register for breakpoint or other GUI window update.

Hello,

The procedure to execute demos in CCS mode is well documented in the demo user guide. At a high level,

1. First you need to flash the debug file xwr16xx_ccsdebug.bin, once in order to prepare the EVM for CCS run, then

2. After resetting the EVM , and connecting CCS, you need to load the actual CCS/debug binaries for the corresponding demo (in this case, the people counting deme) i.e. the .xer4f and .xe674 files provided in the precompiled binaries folder of the demo, through the CCS load program interface and then select run. From your above description, it seems you have not followed this part and are only flashing xwr16xx_ccsdebug.bin.

Please follow the general procedure documented in the following response (and ultimately the demo user guide in Industrial toolbox), in context of the people counting demo and the Industrial toolbox version you are using.

MMWAVEICBOOST: IWR6843 ISK, no console response from mmWave Demo Visualizer

Thanks

I didn't miss this step.I loaded it according to Expand for help with Debug mode in pplcount_user_guide. finally, it also showed cli is operational.

What I'm puzzled about is that I think I'm configured strictly according to pplcount_user_guide.But the GUI can't display the point cloud.

I don't know where there may be a problem, so I came here to ask.

Hello,

1. Which version of Industrial Toolbox are you using?

2. Are you using and AWR1642BOOST EVM (or IWR1642BOOST)?

Thanks

1、I use mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_1_0

2、I use AWR1642BOOST

Thanks. Please allow me a couple of days to look into this. I will get back to you by Friday.

Hi,

Please check that you have all the tools installed as listed in the software requirements section of the user guide. You will need MMWAVE-SDK 2.1.0.4 (which is the only version compatible with xWR1642 production devices). Especially, note that you need to separately install code gen tools version 7.4.16 for this demo. Please provide the complete build log from CCS console if you still see issues after making sure that the required tools are installed.

Regards

I installed all the software at the list,including compiler 7.4.16.

The SDK version I use is 02_ 00_ 00_ 04，I don't know if that's the problem.

I'll try to use SDK2.1.0.4，and see if the problem occurs.

Thanks
