IWR1642BOOST: Sensors forum

Hi Shiyu, 

Have you run the Out of Box Demo successfully?  This will help me to rule out any hardware issues.

Hi Brennan Hartigan,

I tried to run X, but it failed. Here is the problem I am having:

1.About IWR1843BOOST:

I am using uniflash(7.1.0) to burn the program and the port cannot be connected. The port is normal in the device manager on my computer, but it shows com4. How can I fix it?

2.About IWR1642BOOST   

I did not find the file(C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_10_1\labs\Out_Of_Box_Demo\prebuilt_binaries) corresponding to IWR1642BOOST when I followed the instruction steps to burn the file, which file should I use instead?

3.About uniflash(7.1.0)

When I was using uniflash for file burning, I found that the software runs unstable, he sometimes can recognize the port to work, and sometimes it shows that it can't recognize the port, with some chance. Is it a problem with the configuration of my computer environment or a problem with the hardware device?

Shiyu, 

1) You need to set the SOP switches on the IWR1843BOOST for flashing mode, as follows:

Please refer to the EVM Setup Operational Modes page to ensure your device is configured for the correct step of the demo process.

2) You can find the 16xx Out of Box Demo in Industrial Toolbox 4.9.0.  In the TI Resource Explorer, follow these steps:

Click the three dots next to "Industrial Toolbox - 4.10.1" and then click "Manage Versions."

Check the box next to the 4.9.0 version.

Then download 4.9.0.  You will find the out of box demo for 16xx at:

C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_9_0\labs\out_of_box_demo\16xx_mmwave_sdk

Follow the mmw_16xx_user_guide, as the steps to run this version of the demo are different than other EVMs.

3) Ensure you are pressing the NRST button on the EVM before flashing or making any device configuration changes.

Regards,

Brennan

I have run the program according to the manual. I am using CCS version 7.4, and I get an error during the run, as shown in the picture, showing that there is no file, as shown in the picture, how should I solve it?
