Attention: It is strongly recommended to begin development by following the steps in the order listed below,

Note: The steps in this user guide show screen shots and descriptions based on Windows. However the steps in Linux would remain the same, unless mentioned otherwise.; ${SDK_INSTALL_PATH} refers to the path where the SDK is installed. Recommend to install in C:/ti in Windows, and ${HOME}/ti in Linux. To install to other locations, refer Installing SDK at non-default location; {some text} refers to a variable string that should be replaced by user and {some text} should not be typed verbatim on the command prompt.; In Windows, use the cmd.exe as command prompt and in Linux, use the bash shell as the command prompt.

Introduction

Getting Started Goals

On successful completion of below steps, you would have achieved the following

All tools needed for development are installed
EVM setup needed for development is verified
CCS IDE setup needed for development is verified
One SDK example has been built using makefile as well as CCS project
One SDK example has been loaded and run on the EVM
Output console logs on CCS and UART are working as expected
One SDK example has been flashed to the EVM flash and the application booted from the flash without CCS.

Terms and Abbreviations

Term	Description
McSPI Controller	McSPI in communication which generates the clock and initiates the transfer
McSPI Peripheral	McSPI in communication which read and write data based on Controller clock
I2C Controller	I2C device which generates the SCL clock and initiates communication
I2C Target	I2C device which responds to I2C Controller
LIN Commander	LIN device which intiates the transfer
LIN Responder	LIN device which responds to the transfer

Getting Started Steps

Step 1: Download, install SDK and related tools, see Download, Install and Setup SDK and Tools [NEEDS TO BE DONE ONCE when SDK is installed] (Note: Even if SysConfig is installed, device data has to updated, refer SysConfig)
Step 2: Download, install and setup CCS for development, see Download, Install and Setup CCS [NEEDS TO BE DONE ONCE when SDK is installed]
Step 3: Setup EVM for program execution, see EVM Setup [NEEDS TO BE DONE ONCE when SDK is installed]
Step 4: Build a "hello world" example for the EVM, see Build a Hello World example
Step 5: Load and run the "hello world" example on the EVM, see CCS Launch, Load and Run
Step 6: Flash the "hello world" example on the EVM and boot without CCS, see Flash a Hello World example [OPTIONAL and is typically needed after all development via CCS is done]
Step 7: To flash and Visualize the OOB Demo, Please refer ${SDK_INSTALL_PATH}/docs/mmWave_Radar_Visualizer_UserGuide.pdf

Next Steps

Now you can explore the SDK by running more examples (see Examples and Demos) and browsing through various developer notes (see Developer Guides), to understand the SDK better and develop your own applications with the SDK.
