DCA1000EVM: Ethernet connection problem

Neil,

Can you please post or upload the entire log file? I need more information to properly debug this issue. There could be a few different causes for the errors you are receiving. In the meantime, please make sure that you have MATLAB runtime version 8.5.1 (32-bit).

Regards,
Kyle

Hello Kyle,

Thanks for your reply, I am posting my complete log file. Yes I also have installed MATLAB runtime version 8.5.1 (32-bit), I download it from link mentioned in the user guide. I also get the "getMatlabPostProcVersion()" error even I have installed specified MATLAB runtime version and also run the mmWave studio in Administrator mode.

Here is my complete log file.

Neil,

Please make sure that the switches on the DCA1000 are set to the proper positions. There are two banks of switches that can be found on the DCA1000. Please refer to the User's Guide for the correct settings.

Regards,
Kyle

Neil,
Can you upload the entire Radae API window?I am having some problems too.Thank you!
Regards
Lee

Hello Kyle,

Thank you for your answer, I am attaching the photo of board with current switch setting on my board. Please let me know if I need to change something. Currenty I am using DCA1000 board to interface with AWR1243 and later also want to interface AWR1642.

Regards,

Neil

Hello Lee,

Below you can find the attachment of Radar API window.

Regards,

Neil

Hello Kyle,

The image I attached had board switched off, thats why "DC_JACK_5N_IN" was not in its position. I am attaching the image with the switch positions the way you recommended. Still I am getting " Ethernet Cable is disconnected Please check.....!!!" error.

Regards,

Neil

Neil,

Please ensure that you have jumpers across SOP0 and SOP1. Both jumpers are needed when using the DCA1000 in mmWave Studio.

Regards,
Kyle

Hello Kyle,

I have jumpers on SOP0 and SOP1 and kept SOP2 open. 

Regards,

Neil
