IWR1443BOOST: the radar board does not work

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443,

The IWR1443 BOOST board completely does not work. When I connect to the 5V power supply, the 5V LED and NRST LED just turns on and then turns off very quickly. There is no more signal. I think there is something wrong with the board. Please help me. Thank you very much!

The following YouTube link is the video when I connect the board to power:

Hello

Seems like you are trying the board with Capture card. Would you please check if the IWR1443Boost works in standalone mode?

Please try the OOB demo available via SDK or TIrex .

Thank you,

Vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,

In fact, I didn't connect the capture card with radar board. I just assemble them. Please check the video again.

In addition, the board doesn't give any response to my PC. I cannot run any demo.

Thanks,

Wei Zhao

Hello Wei Zhao,

What is the Power adapter used for powering the board (Rating/specifications)? Did you any higher voltage power adapters?

Also, Metal screws on metal bracket could short the signals on the board, this could damage the board. Could you please disconnect all the screws and run out of box demo
