Hi,

Does rlSetChannelConfig API work on awr2243?

How can I fix this error?

Thanks

-----------------------------------------------------

platform:

am273x + awr2243 EVM

API:

retVal = rlSetChannelConfig (RL_DEVICE_MAP_INTERNAL_BSS, &ptrMMWaveMCB->openCfg.chCfg);

error messages:

==============================

Error: setChannelConfig retVal=-2
Set mmWave Link Channel Config Fail

Hi,

rlSetChannelConfig() is one of the fundamental mmWave Link APIs. It is supported in all the AWR2xxx mmWave link releases.

What dfp version are you using?

Based on error it seems that there is an issue sending the command.

Are you able to send other commands?

Thank you

Cesar

Hi Cesar,

Here are the steps.

========================

1.Power up ...

2.Use API:

rlSetChannelConfig();

rlSetAdcOutConfig();

rlSetLowPowerModeConfig();

rlRfInit();

rlSetContModeConfig();

========================

It works on SoC(xwr1642, xwr1843) above.

I'm not sure how to get the version from awr2243 exactly.

I try to flash the firmawres to awr2243 by using mmWave studio.

Is this method correct?

Thanks.

Hi,

Please follow the steps as numbered on the button of Studio GUI.

Looks like you might missed to clock on RF power-up button and directly jumping on channelconfig Button which is returning -2 error.

Optionally you can try running LUA script

C:\ti\mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14\mmWaveStudio\Scripts\DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua

where it loads the firmware first over RS232 in SOP2 (development mode).

When you clock on RF Power-up (as follow the ordered button numbers) then GUI will populate the version on the screen.

mmWave Studio works in SOP2 (development mode) where firmware (BSS and MSS) are loaded over RS232. In SOP2 mode, flashing is not possible.
