TSW1400EVM: MATLAB api error while using the radar studio

yawen fan
Prodigy 140 points

Part Number: TSW1400EVM

I am following the instruction of "mmWave Sensor Raw Data Capture Using the TSW1400 Board" to capture the raw data. Everything is good until I try to connect through RS232 operation. It turns out that radar studio could not find the post proc version(it is 0.0.0.0). I installed the MATLAB runtime provided by the slide and I do not have other matlab installed on my computer.

    Hi,

    It appears that you are using a very old version of Radar Studio.

    Could you please let us know the device version (the "Device Status" field in Radar Studio)?

    Best Regards,
    Anand

    Hi Anand,

    Thanks for the response. I am AWR1243BOOST and I have enclosed the Device Status field in my original post. My Radar Studio version is 0007004. We bought this board before May 2017.

    By the way, I tried to use the new version of Radar studio. I got the same error when trying to connect. Also the new radar studio would crash.

    Hi,

    Can you please try with the RadarStudio version in DFP 00.09.01.06 available here:
    software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

    Also, can you please paste a picture of the top side of the AWR1243 BOOST here? We want to try to identify the version of the board and device.

    Best Regards,
    Anand

    Hi Anand,

    Thanks for your response. I tried the DFP 00.09.01.06 version and the problem is the same. The radarStudio could not find the postproc and the error is the same as the original post.

    Also I upload the picture for our board.

    Best,

    Hi,

    We cannot identify the chip revision from this photo as the markings are not clear. Could you post a screenshot from RadarStudio from DFP 00.09.01.06. Please post the complete screenshot for the Device Status section, and also the log file. You can get the log file by Right Clicking in the Output window and selecting "Show Log File" or "Open Log Folder".

    Best Regards,
    Anand

    Hi,

    It looks like this line indicates a problem:

    [14:49:14] [RadarAPI]: Error: Failed to create adc_data.bin file in PostProc path: "C:\ti\mmwave_dfp_00_09_01_06\rf_eval\radarstudio\PostProc\adc_data.bin".

    Can you try running RadarStudio as administrator? (I think it may have been installed as administrator and the program may not have write permissions to that directory).

    Best Regards,
    Anand
