Pre-requisites To Detect Low Power Radar Devices in CCS

• Step 1: Copy the device xml files (IWRL6432.xml) from ${SDK_INSTALL_PATH}/tools/device_csp to the devices folder present at ${CCS_INSTALL_PATH}/ccs/ccs_base/common/targetdb/devices
• Step 2: Copy the modules folder (xwrl64xx) from ${SDK_INSTALL_PATH}/tools/device_csp to the devices folder present at ${CCS_INSTALL_PATH}/ccs/ccs_base/common/targetdb/Modules/radar
• Step 3: The timestamp file present at ${CCS_INSTALL_PATH}/ccs/ccs_base/common/targetdb needs to be modified as the CCS detects the devices that were present at the time mentioned in the timestamp file. The original timestamp file has the CCS Install time. The format of the file is Year,Month,Date,Time (YYYYMMDDTTTTTT). For example, if the CCS tool was installed on 30/08/2022 at 11:30:50 AM, the timestamp will be 20220830113050. This needs to be modified according to the time at which the xml files were copied. The time should be mentioned in 24 hour format.
• Step 4: Copy the device data folder (XWRL64XX) and the devices.json file from ${SDK_INSTALL_PATH}/tools/syscfg_deviceData to ${CCS_INSTALL_PATH}/ccs/utils/sysconfig_{version}/dist/deviceData.

Create Target Configuration

• Goto "View > Target Configuration"

create Target Configuration

• Create a new target configuration

New Target Configuration

• Give a nice name to the new target configuration, typically {soc name}_{JTAG type}

Target Configuration Name

• Select connection as XDS110 USB Debug Probe

Select JTAG Connection

• In "Board or Device" select "xWRL6432" for "xWRL6432_EVM"

Select xWRL6432 device

• Now you can move on to EVM Setup to prepare your EVM for running programs.
