IWR6843ISK: how to run unit test for mmWave EVM

Part Number: IWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST, , UNIFLASH

Hi,

I studied the doc mmwave_sdk_unit_test_procedure.pdf in mmWave SDK.

But I still confused for this topic.

Is there any doc to mention how to run unit test step by step?

Best best with HW and SW setup.

for example. how to run gpio unit test?

Thanks.

Hi Austin,

Currently there is no such document. I will provide input to the SDK team to add the information in unit test procedure document.

For now you need to refer the GPIO unit test comments along with MMWAVEICBOOST user guide @https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru546d/swru546d.pdf

Section 2.8.2.5 Switches and LEDs for reference to GPIO_0 and GPIO_1 used in the code.

Thanks

hi Yogesh:

I am using IWR6843ISK and MMWAVEICBOOST.

I tried to covert xwr68xx_gpio_mss.xer4f file to BIN file by out2rprc.exe ,MulticoreImageGen.exe, crc_multicore_image.exe, gen_bincrc32.exe.

here is my command sample:

out2rprc.exe D:\xwr68xx_gpio_mss.xer4f D:\xwr68xx_gpio_mss.tmp
MulticoreImageGen.exe LE 37 0x00000006 D:\xwr68xx_gpio_demo.bin 0x35510000 D:\xwr68xx_gpio_mss.tmp
crc_multicore_image.exe D:\xwr68xx_gpio_demo.bin D:\xwr68xx_gpio_demo.tmp
gen_bincrc32.exe D:\xwr68xx_gpio_demo.bin

there is BIN file for uniflash tool.

the xwr68xx_gpio_demo.bin programming is fine.

But there is no debug message output from Application/User UART PORT(baudrate is 115200).

Is something wrong in BIN file convert???

Hi Austin,

You need to run the test binaries in CCS. Please follow MMWAVE SDK user guide C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\docs\mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf:

section 3. 5. Running the prebuilt unit test binaries (.xer4f and .xe674)

Thanks
