Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG
Hello Team,
I received the AWE SDK v11.01.16.06 and am trying to follow the board setup steps mentioned in Audio SDK User's Guide and run a basic application as per the document. My board doesn't have an ethernet module and am trying to connect to the AWE server using the UART method. As per the Audio SDK User's Guide I have completed the steps:
- EVM Setup
- Format Bootable SD Card
- Boot-Switch for SD boot
- UART terminal setup
My COM ports after the setup is as shown below:
I'm trying to run the application Config1 (Running Audio Processing on C7x_0) using the binaries that come out of the box of the SDK (at location AM275-AWE-SDK_11.01.16.06/bin/am275x/sd_card):
by copying the binaries marked in red to my SD card after the formatting step in the Step 2 (Format Bootable SD Card) in the Audio SDK User's Guide. With this, on COM7 I see the below logs:

The above looks like the boot was not entirely successful. I did open other COM ports listed above to see if I get any other logs, with the settings mentioned in Step 4 of the User Guide and I see:

which indicates there is a possible firmware mismatch/incompatibility. Also, when I try to connect to AWE server over serial connection (Target -> Change connection -> Connection: RS232), I see the below error as well:
My board currently has a different set of binaries loaded from a previous release as shown below:

I feel there is a missing step in the setup that I need to do to load the AWE application and test/build the SDK. Could you please help me:
- fix the setup and boot the EVM board right
- load the desired application and run the right AWE layout?
Regards,
Sreekanth
