AWR1843: How to build bin image from DSS and MSS outputs.

Part Number: AWR1843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH,

After rebuilding the dss and mss in CSS, I get the binaryies odsdemo_mss.xer4f and dosdemo_dss.xe674 in Debug folder

But I want to build the final bin image and flash it to the AWR1843 by using UniFlash. I thought the bin image "odsdemo.bin" in Debug folder is that I need, but after flashing it, AWR1843 doesn't work.

Could you please tell how to generate the final binary image base on dss and mss binaries?

Thanks

Hello Ree,

Post-steps of CCS project (MSS and DSS) generates individual bin and later MSS ccs project combines MSS, DSS and BSS into single MetaImage. ODS demo does this for you via ccs project, final metaImage (odsdemo_16xx.bin) is available under'odsdemo_16xx_mss\Debug' directory of your CCS workspace. And this is bein done by the post-step script in MSS/DSS ccs project properties.

${COM_TI_MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/scripts/ImageCreator/out2rprc/out2rprc.exe ${ProjName}.xer4f ${ProjName}.bin
