Hello.

I have a problem doing debug AWR1843BOOST using CCS.

Whenever I try to load mrr_18xx_mss.xer4f, it seemed like something wrong.

The console said :

Cortex_R4_0: Trouble Writing Memory Block at 0x0 on Page 0 of Length 0x3c: (Error -1065 @ 0x0) Unable to access device memory. Verify that the memory address is in valid memory. If error persists, confirm configuration, power-cycle board, and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK). (Emulation package 9.2.0.00002)
Cortex_R4_0: File Loader: Verification failed: Target failed to write 0x00000000
Cortex_R4_0: GEL: File: C:\awr1863\mrr_18xx_mss\Debug\mrr_18xx_mss.xer4f: Load failed.

How can I solve this problem?

Please, help me.

When I look at the data sheet table 6-1 shows that address (0x0) as ROM. Thus CCS is not going to be able to write to that address.

TCMA ROM 0x0000_0000 0x0001_FFFF 128 KiB Program ROM

I am going to loop in the Radar team to help. I believe you have to flash xwr18xx_ccsdebug.bin first. After that you then need to change your SOP settings so that only SOP0 is closed. The Radar team will know the details. I found some details here: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AFbeXYjpuHwYy7FoWUt7SA__AocYeEd__LATEST

Hi,

Please make sure that you are using the ccsdebug firmware included in the mmWave SDK release used.

The instructions are provided in:

C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_0#_##_##\docs\mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf

Thank you

Dear. John.

Thank you for your reply, but it doesn't working.

Here is my status below.

step1) flash xwr18xx_ccsdebug.bin ,first. Then, change SOP settings so that only SOP0 is on.

step2) After that conneting the target using CCS. Then, Load Program Texas Instruments XDS Debug Probe_0/C674X_0 to mrr_18xx_dss.xe674

It goes well until step2.

step3) Load Program Texas Instruments XDS Debug Probe_0/Cortex_R4_0 to mrr_18xx_mss.xer4f

when click OK button, then Load Program Failed popped-up every time.

What am I supposed to do solve this problem?

Please, help me.

Regards,

Jinhyun.

Hi,

The release notes of this demo indicate that this demo requires mmwave SDK 3.1.0.2

labs\lab0007_medium_range_radar\docs\MediumRangeRadar_Release_Notes.pdf

You need to make sure you use the ccsdebug.bin included in the SAME SDK release

thank you

Dear. Cesar.

I already have used ccsdebug.bin included in SDK3.1.0.2, when I flashed AWR1843BOOST.

but it didn't work well...

regards,

Jinhyun.

Hi. Cesar.

Thank you for your answer.

Unfortunately, I already have rebuilt excutables. (the meaning of excutables the file that mmwave_automotive_toolbox_3_0_0\labs have?)

but.. it didn't work.

Hi,

Were you able to run any other demo on this board.

I think you should try to run the mmwave sdk executables to see if they work.

thank you
