AWR1443BOOST: About AWR1443 demo

AWR1443BOOST: About AWR1443 demo

After flashing the demo binary, I removed the SOP2 jumper and reboot the EVM. I use the online visualizer and try to run the demo, after selecting the SDK version and the platform, I click the "Send config to mmwave device", and I get the error as below. The guide says that if everything works fine, the console should end with "sensorstart" and "Done", but in my case the sensorstart returned with -1 and there is no error message. I am not sure which config is wrong, but I didn't change any of the config after selecting the platform and SDK version.

Also, I am using the sdk_01_02_00_05, and I am not sure this is version 1.2 or not, if it is not, then where can I get a sdk 1.2? The previous version of the latest sdk online is the 2.0 then is this sdk_01_02_00_05.

Thank you very much

    Zihan,

    You can download SDK v1.2 here: software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

    Yes, I have confirmed my SDK is version 1.2, but I am still getting this error. Is there any other possibilities?

    Thank you very much

    Zihan,

    You need to determine which version of silicon your device is, either ES 1.0 or ES 2.0. Look on the markings on the device packaging. If your device says "502", then you have ES 1.0 and should use SDK v1.2. If your device says "502AC", then you have ES 2.0 and should use SDK v2.1.

    Here are the various SDK links:

    SDK v1.2: software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html
    SDK v2.1: software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

    Hi,

    I have confirmed that I should use SDK v1.2. After I flashing the demo binary, I tried to run the visualizer and I still get the sensorstart return -1. Following is the complete console log and the configs I set.

    Zihan,

    When you flashed the demo binary, did you make sure to flash two binary (.bin) files to the AWR1443? For the AWR1443, you need to flash these two files:

    MSS
    xwr14xx_mmw_demo_mss.bin
    File Location: C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_01_02_00_05\packages\ti\demo\xwr14xx\mmw

    BSS
    xwr12xx_xwr14xx_radarss.bin
    File Location: C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_01_02_00_05\firmware\radarss

    I referenced the error message provided in the CLI output console. I went to line 1895 in main.c. This corresponds to the very first possible error message that the MSS could receive from a failed callback function call to the BSS.

    Please ensure that you have both files flashed to the device before attempting to run the application.

    Regards,
    Kyle
