Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, AWR1642

Dear support team;

I want to write the lab data on AWR1642BOOST.

But, uniflash error occurred.

I specified COM11.

And board setting is following.

Could you tell me about that solution method?

Hello Masaaki,

This is a very strange error. Can you confirm this is still happening?

I would recommend Formating SFLASH in the Settings and Utilities pane and then trying again.

Have you made any changes to the firmware itself? Have you tried other binaries for AWR1642?

Cheers,
Akash

Dear Akash-san;

Thank you for your quick relay.

I tried other binaries(xwr16xx_pcount_lab.bin).

But, the same error occurred.

The following picture is error message.

I didn't change and add source code.

I downloaded the mmwave_industrial_toolbox_2_0_0 and selected the binary files under prebuilt_binaries directories.

Hello Sugiyama-san,
Can you tell the rating of the power supply you are using ?

Thanks,

Dear Raghu-san;

I measured Jack voltage and this point is about 5.5V.
Is the measurement point here?

Hello Sugiyama-san,

What is the current rating of the supply?

Raghu-san;

I am sorry for late reply.

I measured current and this is 284mA.

This is same value in case of Uniflash access and power on.

Hello Sugiyama-san,

You will need atleast power supply with current limit of 2.5A- 3A rating for the AWR1642BOOST.

Thanks,

Dear Raghu-san;

The capability of AC-Adopter is 5A.

The previous post is real current value.

By the way, Uni Flash can recognize the AWR1642BOOST.(device auto detected)

But Uni Flash loading is error.

Do you think what is reason?

Hello Sugiyama-san,
The power supply is fine. Please do not use the "Auto-detect " feature. There are some known issues with "Auto-detect" feature.
Can you manually select the device and try to flash?

Hello Sugiyama-san,

Did you check on a different machine/PC ?

Dear Raghu-san;

I am sorry for late reply.

I confirmed on a different PC.

But, same error occurred.

Do I need to update the firmware of on-board MSP430(XDS110)?

And, if I may try what it is, could you tell me?

Best Regards,

Hello Sugiyama-san
The update to XDS110 will happen automatically when you try to connect it from the Code composer Studio.

If it is not updated you can follow below procedure given in "$CCS_INSTALL_PATH\ccs_base\common\uscif\xds110\ReadMe.txt". The same path also include the firmware update utility for XDS110.

Thanks,
-Raghu

Dear Raghu-san;

I updated XDS110 firmware(2.3.0.11).

Dear Raghu-san;

I checked verify connection by CCS.

I attached the error message.

ccs_verify_connection_error.txt

[Start]

Execute the command:

%ccs_base%/common/uscif/dbgjtag -f %boarddatafile% -rv -o -S integrity

[Result]


-----[Print the board config pathname(s)]------------------------------------

C:\Users\SUGIYA~1\AppData\Local\TEXASI~1\
    CCS\ti\0\0\BrdDat\testBoard.dat

-----[Print the reset-command software log-file]-----------------------------

This utility has selected a 100- or 510-class product.
This utility will load the adapter 'jioxds110.dll'.
The library build date was 'Dec 11 2017'.
The library build time was '12:04:14'.
The library package version is '7.0.100.1'.
The library component version is '35.35.0.0'.
The controller does not use a programmable FPGA.

An error occurred while hard opening the controller.

-----[An error has occurred and this utility has aborted]--------------------

This error is generated by TI's USCIF driver or utilities.

The value is '-260' (0xfffffefc).
The title is 'SC_ERR_XDS110_OPEN'.

The explanation is:
An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed.
The cause may be one or more of: no XDS110 is connected, invalid
firmware update, invalid XDS110 serial number, or faulty USB
cable. The firmware and serial number may be updated using the
xdsdfu utility found in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110
directory of your installation. View the ReadMe.txt file there
for instructions.

[End]

Could you advice me?

Hello Sugiyama-san

You don't seem to have run the firmware update command.

In addition, if it is blank EVM, you need to execute below 2 command :

Xdsdfu.exe -b boot_loader.bin –r
Xdsdfu.exe -f firmware.bin –r

Please run this command and you should be able to update to new firmware.

Dear Raghu-san;

I tried two Xdsdfu.exe commands.

But, not chanegd.

Then, I tried demo of Driver Vital Signs.

I successed compile and link.

And, I tried connect EVM to CCS.

But, the following error occured.

Could you tell us that how to avoid this error?

Hello Sugiyama-san

When downloading the code via CCS you should have the EVM in SOP4 mode(functional).

Before this you should have the CCSdebug image flashed onto the EVM .

Please follow the steps mentioned in the mmwave-sdk-useruide.pdf for flashing of the image to device and running the demo vis CCS.

Thanks,
Raghu

Dear Raghu-san;

I am sorry for late replay and thank you for your great support.
I think that this is hardware issue.
I will buy the new AWR1642boost.
I close this thread once.
