CCS/IWR6843ISK: People Counting MSS Debug Mode Load Error

CCS/IWR6843ISK: People Counting MSS Debug Mode Load Error

Part Number: IWR6843ISK

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I linked this question to the already existing one as the problem is exactly the same.

While trying to upload the firmware from CCS to the device in Debug Mode I got an error when loading the mss binary file.

I tried to uninstall the version of CSS I was using (9.0.0) and to install the 8.3 as suggested by  but It didn't solve the problem. 

My device is ES1.0 version. 

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thank you very much in advance.

    Alessandro,

    Starting with CCSv9 there was a change mentioned in the sticky thread below. Can you try that and see if the workaround works for you?

    In the meantime I will try to reach to one of the device experts, as I don't have such development board with me. 

    Regards,

    Rafael

    Hi Rafael,

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    I am actually using v8.3 of CCS and not the 9 or >9, but the problem persists anyway.

    Looking forward to receiving a feedback from your device-expert colleague.

    All the best,

    Alessandro

    Dear Rafael desouza (14125)

     

    I followed your suggestion and I tried the workaround you posted. Unfortunately it did not solve the problem.

    Did you have the chance to contact the device expert you mentioned?

    This problem is quite annoying as I cannot debug any of the experiments and it makes it very hard to understand the code as well as to extend it. 

    I hope you can help with is. I believe it might be very useful also for other developers given the fact that I am not the only one who experienced this problem.

    Regards, 

    Alessandro

    Hi Alessandro,

    Are you sure you have all of the correct drivers installed? Are you sure the device is in functional mode - check both the SOP pins and the switches on the front. 

    Finally, can you use CCS to test the connection to the XDS110 on device - you can find this option by double-clicking on the target configuration. Please post the results of the test.

    Regards,

    Justin

    Dear Justin,

    Thank you for your reply. Actually I was using the device in flushing mode. In the official user guide of the people counting lab they don't say to set the device into functional after uploading the ccs_debug.bin firmware. Moreover, the DSS program was uploading without errors, therefore I didn't think that the problem could have been the device mode.

    By the way, I changed the device into functional mode and I was finally able to upload both programs successfully (DSS and MSS).

    Thank you very much for your support.

    Regards,

    Alessandro
