CCS/AWR1843BOOST: How to add file search path in Build setting for AWR1843BOOST

Expert 2050 points

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, AWR1843,

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have a project which is ported to 3.05 SDK. I build it for both AWR1642 and AWR1843 EVM. 

When I build the dss and mss binaries for different type of AWR EVM, I change the Variant in Build setting as: 

Ex. of MSS build setting for AWR1642

Ex. of MSS build setting for AWR1843

The final binary generated base on above setting does work for AWR1642 and AWR1843 respectively.

But I find the files in the File Serach Path of Build Setting are only for xwr16xx even though when I set Variant to AWR1843. I guess this is caused due to the project was started base on AWR1642. 

Can you tell how to change the file search path for AWR1843BOOST? Thanks

    That is correct. Switching the variant will not automatically update all the required build options.

    I would strongly recommend maintaining 2 separate projects, one for each device variant, instead of having one project for both (and having to constantly changing the variant). Projects were not really designed to be used that way.

  • Thanks Ki, can I port my current code to AWR1843?

    I can't commend much on that as it is beyond my expertise. I will let the device experts comment.

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    We recommend creating separate CCS projectspecs for each platform.

    In the Automotive Toolbox v 3.2 please see

    mmwave_automotive_toolbox_3_2_0\labs\incabinsensing\front_mount_occupancy\src

    It includes project specs for 3 different platforms.

    thank you

  • Thanks Cesar,

    I have ported lab004_obstacle_detection to AWR1843Boost.

    I understand the Antenna design of AWR1843 Boost is not for obstacle detection purpose, but can we improve the performance of obstcel detection a little bit through matching the chirp_configs parameters with AWR1843 Antenna design? 

    Or do I have to create a project base on an AWR1843 demo project?

    I guess the compatability of lab4 and AWR1843Boost is only the chirp_configs parameters. 

    Kind regards

  • Hi,

    First, what do you mean do you mean by "I have ported lab004.." Did you modify the source code to match the AWR1843BOOST antenna?

    Second, if you are interested in object detection with AWR1843BOOST, I would also consider the lab0007. This lab runs on AWR1843BOOST and has 2 modes: MRR and USRR.

    In the USRR mode you should evaluate object detection. There is a 20m config included in the project.

    Thank you
