TSW1400EVM: "No firmware. Please select a device to load firmware into the board" HSDCv5.0 with AWR1642+mmWave DevPack

Part Number: TSW1400EVM

Hi

I am using TSW1400EVM with AWR1642BOOST and mmWave DevPack. I am using HSDC Pro v5.00 with DFP version 00.07.00.04 and 00.09.01.06 (experimented with both, but the same error still occurred) on a Windows 10 laptop. 

I would like to capture raw data via the TSW1400 but HSDC pro constantly shows “No firmware. Please select a device to load firmware into the board” after I select AWR16xx_lvds_4Channel_ddr_4bit_par_centre_16_bit, or any others such as ADS5294_1W_12b as suggested in another thread.

I followed the setup instructions as given in the “mmWave Sensor Raw Data Capture Using the TSW1400 Board” training video, and installed the relevant applications.

I understand that this error usually arises from not enough current supplied for the board to draw from, but the board is connected to a 5V/5A output of a DC power supply. I have also tried using 5.4V instead as it worked for another guy from the other thread, but the error still remains the same.

I have noticed the board draws about 0.38A to 0.39A when the board is first started up, and around 0.59A when attempting to load the firmware. 

My setup is as follows:

  

I would like to know any troubleshooting methods available or if any of the jumpers are in the wrong positions. Thanks in advance!
