AWR1243: DFP example C code

Part Number: AWR1243

Hello,

In DFP example C code there is a closed library implementation UART to SPI using FTDI chip for windows, lib name is mmwstudio.lib,

It is compiled on visual studio 2010 and it cannot be used in Visual studio 2015 or 2017, if it possible to get it as open source ?

If not if it possible to get it for visual studio 2015 (32 & 64) as binary ?

Thanks in advance and regards,

Shai Berman

    Hello,

    Currently the mmwlstudio is not planned to be delivered as open source. But due to this compatibility issue, we need to check what is the feasible option at this point. We expected the visual studio library to be backward compatible.

    Can you try to use "Platform toolset = v100" and see if it helps to link pre-built mmwlstudio library. Also can you provide what exact "error"
    /" problem" that you face with current library.

    We will explore the option of building in VS 2015 or 2017 environment and share our feedback in couple of days

    Regards,

    Dear Shai,

    I tried to run mmwave example with Visual Studio 2017 and it seems to work fine

    Did you also manage to run it successfully at your end? Please confirm

    Hello,

    There is no option to set tool to v100 it is not supported by vs 2017 install system (no VS2100 toolset).

    There is a workaround but it very simple to just compile the missing lib for
    VS2015 or VS2017, why force us to uses very old tools ?

    MS work-around

    "If you can't install VS2010, Windows SDK for Windows 7 contains needed compiler tools (v100), you may actually skip installing the SDK itself and install only the compiler tools, headers and libs. Please note, that the compiler included in Windows SDK is the same that VS2010 has, but VS2010 SP1 has a bit newer compiler. If you need that, you'll also need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Compiler Update for the Windows SDK 7.1. But be aware, that if you install these, you may have issues later if you decide to install VS2010, there are bugs in installer that requires you to install components in strict order. Also, if your code uses MFC or ATL you must install VS2010, installing Windows SDK will not be enough."
