Hi,

I connect IWR6843ISK-ODS to MMWAVEICBOOST, but it only has a light on. I don't know what went wrong.

All dial switches are in accordance with the user manual, and there should be no error.

Regards，

Lewis

Hello，Ishita

I've used these boards many times.

I connect IWR6843ISK to MMWAVEICBOOST,and it can work successfully. This proves that MMWAVEICBOOST is not wrong.

I used to use the IWR6843ISK-ODS normally, but I don't know what happened this time.

Regards,

Lewis

Hi Lewis,

That particular LED is ON when the NERROR_OUT pin is asserted by IWR6843 device. Reading the error code from the IWR6843 device can help you debug the root cause.

Thanks,

Eben.
