DCA1000EVM: MSS Power Up async event was not received, cannot connect to SPI ver2

Hello,

I'm trying to use DCA1000 with IWR6843ISK-ODS board to do some raw data captures. 

I just installed mmWaveStudio and all the dependencies. I had set up the jumpers and carrier mux's as described here:  https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/781420?IWR6843-Not-working-with-DCA1000 . I also erased the SFlash memory before connecting the whole setup to the mmWaveStudio. All the Connection steps go well, including loading of the BSS and MSS images. However, it fails when I try to press the "SPI Connect" button.

Here are the log messages from the very beginning and till the point of getting an error. Note, the last two errors happen when I press the "SPI Connect" button. Any tips on that?
