CCS/IWR1642BOOST: Send a command via terminal to the IWR1642 with the scripting console

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

HI!,

I am trying to develop a script to perform some consecutive measurements with the IWR1642BOOST board. I am able to save memory from the board, however I am having trouble with communicating with the board via Terminal.

In order to renew the data stored in the memory of the board, I need to send a command "sensorStop", and then "sensorStart", to the board via Terminal and then save the new measurement. Since the Terminal port is open constantly I dont think that I have to stablish any connection with the board again. However it doesn't look like there is any function in the scripting console available to do this. I am looking in forums and tutorials and I am struggling to find a way to send a simple string to the board. Any tips?

Thanks

Carlos

    Carlos,

    If I understood the issue correctly, you are trying to use this scripting console to send commands via the secondary UART channel of the XDS110 JTAG Debug Probe embedded in your board? 

    If so, I don't know of any way to script this command directly from this view. CCS has embedded a convenient Serial Terminal on it. 

    If you are testing your software using DSS from a command line on Windows, you can use PowerShell to send these commands via a batch script - a reference is here. I am pretty sure Linux would have similar functionality. 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
