AWR1642: HSDC Pro v4.90 shows "No firmware. Please select a device to load firmware into the board."
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!
Hello,
I’ve asked an mmWave Expert to look into this and someone should have an answer for you next week.

Hi Chloe,
I have watched the training video and followed what was on the video. However I'm still facing the same issue

Hi
The voltage was increased to 5.4V and it worked. I assumed 5.38xV was close enough to 5.4V and it turns out to be not enough.
Thanks for the replies :)
