CCS/AWR1843BOOST: Lab 7(Medium Range Radar) in the MMwave Automotive toolbox 3.0.0

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am using the CCS  v10.1.0 and MMwave SDK v3.4.0.3. I am trying to run Lab 7(Medium Range Radar) in the MMwave Automotive toolbox 3.0.0.  

1. Project -> Import CCS projects works

2. mrr_18xx_dss -> Rebuild Project works

3. mrr_18xx_mss -> Rebuild Project fails with the below errors

  • "../mss_main.c", line 517: warning #169-D: argument of type "CANFD_MCANInitParams *" is incompatible with parameter of type "uint8_t"
  • "../mss_main.c", line 517: warning #169-D: argument of type "int32_t *" is incompatible with parameter of type "const CANFD_MCANInitParams *"
  • "../mss_main.c", line 517: error #167: too few arguments in function call

4. I checked on the TI e2e page for solutions, and there was a recommendation to install the SDK v3.2.0.4. 

5. After doing this, Project -> Import CCS projects fails with the below error

  • MMWAVE_SDK v3.1.0.02 is not currently installed and no compatible version is available. Please install this product or a compatible version.

6. After installing the SDK v3.1.0.02, Project -> Import CCS projects again fails with the below error

  • MMWAVE_SDK v3.1.0.02 is not currently installed and no compatible version is available. Please install this product or a compatible version.

     Please advise.

    • Sajiv,

      In CCS if you go to the Preferences dialog and navigate to the location below is the mmWave SDK 3.1.0.02 listed in the discovered products?

      If not try adding the installation location of the SDK in the discovery path section by clicking on the add button.  After the location is specified then click the refresh button to have CCS search those locations for it.

      Regards,

      John

    • Thanks John, that resolved the issue. I'm able to run the Medium Range Radar Demo on the AWR1843BOOST EVM now.

      I'm looking for advanced documentation on how to modify the chirp signal parameters, analyse the MRR visualization Matlab files, analyse the dss_main.c and mss_main.c files. If you are aware of any such documentation, please point me towards it. Thank you.
