Compiler/IWR1443BOOST: Power Optimization for IWR1443 77-GHz Level Transmitter

Expert 1985 points
Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hello,

According to the TIDEP-0091guide, all the steps are done. However, no data will be displayed on the serial port. The  MSP432 launchpad board used is the black version.

Thanks and Best regards,

  • Well, you didn't give many details to work with.  The first thing to do is to check that the MSP432 is flashed properly. If CCS doesn’t report any errors following the “Load Program” step, then it probably flashed correctly. You can verify it by terminating the debug session, unplugging and reconnecting the USB cable, starting a UART terminal program (such as Tera Term), then pressing the reset button on the MSP432. If the UART terminal is configured correctly (115200 baud, 8bit, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control), the demo’s menu should appear in the window. The IWR1443 does not need to be attached to perform this check.

  • Hello Dave,

    Thank you for your help. All the steps are done, But there is no reaction in COM port.

    Picture of loading the .out program on the MSP432 board:

  • You didn't show the Console window.  It should look like this:

    If so, it is probably okay.  You should then check the COM port - does it have the right settings?  Is the cable plugged in?  Have  you tried outside of CCS? Exit the debug session, unplug the USB and plug it back in.  The menu should appear.  Try rebooting the PC, or try a different PC.

  • Hello Dave,

    Yes, the results are similar to the this picture. All are tested and correct (COM port setting, cable, outside of CCS, ...). The MSP432 launchpad board used is the black version.

    Thanks and best regards,

  • At this point, it doesn't sound like a demo issue, but rather an MSP432 issue.  Is it not an MSP-EXP432P401R EVM, at least a Rev2.0?  I'm not familiar with other MSP432 EVMs.  The one you should be using is this:

    The EVM is $12.99.

    Perhaps you can inquire on the MSP432 forum for what is different between the two.
