TSW1400EVM: HSDC Pro v4.90 shows "No firmware. Please select a device to load firmware into the board."

Part Number: TSW1400EVM


Hello, 

I am using AWR1642+DevPack+TSW1400, and I want to get raw radar data by TSW1400 board. I refer to "mmWave Sensor Raw Data Capture Using the TSW1400 Board". 

But HSCD pro always shows "No firmware. Please select a device to load firmware into the board" again and again.

Here are my operations:

1. Run HSDC pro. 

2. Select Board --> K1227585-TSW1400 --> OK

3. "No firmware. Pease select a device to load firmware into the board."  --> OK

4. Select AWR16xx_lvds_4Channel_ddr_4bit_par_centre_16_bit

5. "Do you want to update the Firmware for ADC?" --> Yes

6. "No firmware. Pease select a device to load firmware into the board."  is shown again.

The following are my attempts in these days, 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Firstly, I am using HSDC Pro v4.90, mmwave_dfp_00_09_01_06 in Windows 10

I can find some discussion about this question in e2e.ti.com/.../613204

In the discussion, the expert pointed out that may be due to lack of rated current of the power supply. 

I checked out the power supply, "Slave, 0~30V, 5A". I set 5V, and the current knob is set to maximum, but this problem has not been solved. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second, 

I ask this question in mmwave sensors section, but the expert said the thread moved to HSDC Pro team. e2e.ti.com/.../699148

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then,

I think it may be the reason for the Windows operating system version.

So, I am trying Windows 7. Using HSDC Pro v4.90, mmwave_dfp_00_07_00_04. 


BUT, "No firmware. Please select a device to load firmware into the board" is still shown.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So,  I don't know if this issue is related to the HSDC version, some documents show HSDC Pro v4.50 can run well. 

This problem caused me to be unable to follow up on radar signal processing.

Hope you can get me a hand, thank you!

Best Regards,
