After seeing customer concern above, I refer him to this similar link below:
https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/936918/tidep-01012-error-bss-power-up-async-event-was-not-received

Then I received a feedback, customer tried updating the firmware, while it was still with the same error: BSS Power Up async event was not received
He mentioned that he have the same errors as mentioned in the forum, while they use different boards. The firmware mentioned in the forum is ES 1.0, he remember he saw somewhere the board he used (AWR1443BOOSTER) belongs to ES 3.0. If it is the case of firmware version, should he try to update with another firmware version? But we can not find the link.
Do you think he should try the other firmware version? If so, could you please help to give the link/access.

If you need other information from our customer side side, please let us know. Thank you so much in advance.

Kind regards,
Gerald

  • Hi,

    Based on Log it seems that the detected board is ES2.0. This board is not supported by mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00. Customer should check release notes. Customer should download mmwave_studio 1.x

    The AWR1443BOOST ES2.0 board is very old and we can only provide limited support.

    Thank you
