CCS/AWR1642BOOST: AWR1642BOOST

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MATHLIB, , AWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I install Code composer Studio version 9.3

i downloaded 

mmwave_sdk_02_00_00_04

mmwave_automotive_toolbox_2_9_1

mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_2_0

i use in mmw_dss_16xx project which is the out of the box dss project 

xdctools_3_50_04_43_core

dsplib_c64Px_3_4_0_0

dsplib_c674x_3_4_0_0

mathlib_c674x_3_1_2_1

mmwave_sdk_02_00_00_04

bios_6_53_02_00

ti-cgt-c6000_8.3.5

when I imported the dss demo out of the box using CCS project import and selecting mmwave_automotive_toolbox_2_9_1-->dss 

the project did not compile

The linker file was xwr1642_C674x.cmd and needed to be dss_mmw_linker.cmd

I also add to change a line in the dss_mmw.cfg file on line 40

Was

heapMemParams.size          = 16*1024;

Changed to

heapMemParams.size          = 20*1024;

then the project could compile

the device run Correctly when i use it in standalone after the two serial is connected correctly and the xWR16xx is selected and the version is change to 3.2

after I send "SEND CONFIG to MMWAVE DEVICE" the console message show this message

Bug when i used the mmw_dss_16xx in debug mode 

i do not get the last Done message after mmwDemo:/>sensorStart command

i get also the Debug: Init Calibration Status = 0x7fe but not the Done message

/////////////////////////////////////

I am trying to debug the project while using the mmWave Demo Visualizer 

in order to add a gesture recognition code and CAN message output on a valid gesture recognition.

At this point no new code has been added.

Any idea how i resolve this issue

  • Hi,

    We don't understand some steps in your evaluation:

    "I imported the dss demo out of the box using CCS project import and selecting mmwave_automotive_toolbox_2_9_1-->dss"

    There is no oob CCS project provided in the automotive toolbox.

    What are you trying to evaluate?

    thank you

    Cesar

  • I have the AWR1642BOOST hardware

    I am trying to debug OUT of THE BOX demo --> mmw_dss_16xx project extracted from mmWave_indusdrial_4_2_0

    using Code Composer Studio 9.3.0 and debug mmWave Demo Visualizer using Chrome devTools

    The Code Composer Studio 9.3.0 debugger does everything correctly until sensorStart request from the mmWave Demo Visualizer "https://dev.ti.com/gallery/view/mmwave/mmWave_Demo_Visualizer/ver/3.3.0/" website and is no getting the Done message from the AWR1642BOOST acknowleging the request.

    1> is the debugger in conflict with using USB CFG_port/DATA_port

    2>is it possible to debug without conflicting

    3>the "https://dev.ti.com/gallery/view/mmwave/mmWave_Demo_Visualizer/ver/3.3.0/" website is 0ver 90% visible except web-animations-js folder.

    is it possible to get the whole project (including web-animations-js folder) so that I could debug it in local mode from my PC and modify the code for evaluation purpose

  • Hi,

    First make sure that you have an AWR1642BOOST EVM that was purchased in the last 1.5 years. If it is older you may have an evm with ES1.0 silicon and the versions of SDK you are using do not apply to you.

    If you do have a "newer" AWR1642 Boost, then you are using the correct version of the tools.

    Make sure you use the correct browser with the visualizer.

    You can download the visualizer on your PC

    For this kind of common support topics, I encourage you to search for older forum threads.

    Please use google site search as follows

    "site e2e.ti.com visualizer offline"

    You will find older threads and also the following FAQ

    Thank you
