CCS/AWR1642BOOST: Problem importing the project

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi, 

I am facing an odd issue with code composer studio (version 9.0.1). I am unable to import the people counting project file even after installing the industrial toolbox. Whenever I try to import the DSS and MSS file I receive the same message to install the project. It has been working well (from importing the project to GUI interface, however I got stuck into GUI interface and to overcome that problem I uninstalled CCS and re-installed again, from there I face this problem) 

I would appreciate some help. 

Here are the screenshots for your convenience. 

PS: I have installed CCS, SDK 2.0, Uniflash, TI cloud agent. 

  • Also for a long time I am unable to plot the sensor data  though the comports are recognized automatically as before in mmWave Demo visualizer, (for flash mode and functional mode both) whereas it has been plotting all the data previously. Tried to use is after cutting power off and enabling the  NRST switch.

      The only thing which is working accordingly is Uniflash configuration. 

  • Hi,
    To import the project you need to download the project first (offline) then only CCS will able to import to your workspace. So better download it either from CCS resource explorer or from webpage
    dev.ti.com/.../node

    And for Visualizer: make sure that you have flashed or loaded from CCS the right image which supports the Visualizer GUI.

  • Hi Jitendra, 

    Thank you very much for your support. I am using CCS for the first time so facing these problems. I was able to import the lab projects ( I have imported Vital sign recognition). Everything was working well till loading and debugging the project. At the time of target configuration I check the test connection via UART port connect and it shows succeeded. But after setting up debug configuration while I load and run the program  it gives me a message at console as " need to connect with the target before load the program".  Can you give me some insight to get rid of the problem. 

    Secondly, regarding online mmWave visualizer; I flashed it with the available image (.bin file) and after loading image it shows flash is successful. However the visualizer is still not giving me any plot (though it shows hardware connected). 

    Thank you,

  • Hi,

    If you want to debug with CCS then I would suggest you go over the mmWave SDK user guide (CCS development guide). Be cautious about the SOP jumper setting.

    And about the visualizer problem:

    1. Compatible application (mmw demo) should be running on mmwave sensor and it should be of same SDK version and device type which Visualizer supports.
    2. If sending config commands doesn’t appear to ‘console message’ window then

                               i.          first check if right COM port is connected to CFG_PORT and DATA_PORT with right baud rate.

                              ii.          Disconnect COM ports from Visualizer and now tries to connect CFG_Port with serial Terminal tool (as TeraTerm) and hit enter, you should get the prompt “mmwDemo:/>”. Try giving “version” command over same prompt, is it reverting right version?

                             iii.          Before sending any cfg command, Visualizer sends ‘version’ command in background to get to know the matching version. If it doesn’t get any response from the application over data_port or non-support version then it won’t proceed further to send cfg commands. So check over serial terminal for ‘version’ command.

    1. Next assuming Visualizer is able to send all the cfg commands but still not getting any plot

                               i.          Again go back to TeraTerm connection but this time connect two separate COM ports (CMD_Port and Data_Port) at same baud rate.

                              ii.          Send one by one all the CFG commands from *.cfg (in mmw demo profile folder) over TeraTerm (CMD_port) and check if all the commands return DONE message.

                             iii.          At last when you send sensorStart command from the same TeraTerm console, on other console (DATA_port) you should see some data coming up (may not be readable: binary object result data). So this way it proves that device is fine and pumping out object data over Data_port, there is some issue with Visualizer connection or execution.

                             iv.          At this step try to use other browser or PC to open Visualizer. Or reinstall the TICloudAgent extension.
