CCS/IWR1642: Hard-code configuration commands in the mmwave demo code without using demo visualizer for IWR1642

Part Number: IWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am trying to hard-code all the configuration commands in the code needed to run mmwave-demo project using IWR1642 board. The idea is not to rely on demo visualizer or the Command line interface (to type configuration commands) to configure the board every time I power it up. Can you please guide me how to do it?

Regards,
Attiya

    Hello Attiya,

    There are two example demos with hard-coded configuration commands:

    The 

    provides an example of hard coded configuration. Please scroll down to the bottom of the page and refer to the software Power Optimized Level Sensing Demo Software (Rev. A) 

    Another implementation of hard coded configuration is the SRR demo

    - Amanda

  • Hi Amanda,

    Thank you for the reply. I have imported the SRR demo in CCS and started looking into the code. I have a very simple question for the file mss_srr_cli.c.

    Can you please tell me where are these structures/types defined that are being used inside the function SRR_MSS_CLIBasicCfg.

    rlProfileCfg_t profileCfg;
    rlChirpCfg_t chirpCfg;
    rlFrameCfg_t frameCfg;

    I am trying to understand hard-coded configuration in this demo so that I can extract the useful information for the mmwave demo (I am working on). The reason to choose this SRR demo over the other you proposed is because it uses IWR1642.

    From the above two links, which one will you prefer more that helps to quickly configure mmwave demo for IWR1642 without using visualizer.

    Thank you,

    Attiya
  • Hi Attiya,

    You can also follow the example provided in the following post to hardcode configuration in the OOB demo.

  • Hi Nitin,

    Thank you for the reply. I will look into it now.

    I first used the code files shared by Herman on this below link but somehow I could not make it work.
    e2e.ti.com/.../641352


    Regards,
    Attiya
  • Hi Nitin,

    I have only changed the configuration parameters according to the board (which is IWR1642) and then I followed the same steps as mentioned in the link shared by you. I can see on the UART port that all the configurations commands are being set properly but then I end up with a runtime exception on MSS as shown in the attached figure. Can you please help me with this?

    Thank you,

    Regards,

    Attiya

    Hello Attiya,

    Would you be able to attach your cli.c file so I can review it? Also are you using ES2.0 IWR1642 and SDK2.0?

    Thanks,

    Amanda

    Hello Attiya,

    I've attached a modified cli.c file for 16xx I created and tested (note it is for 16xx ES2.0/SDK 2.0).

    Can you try following the same procedure with this file and see if you have the same issue?

    Thanks,

    Amanda
