AWR1642BOOST-ODS: Using mmwavelink via DCA1000 to control AWR1642

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST-ODS
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2243BOOST

Hi forum,

I'm trying to control the AWR1642BoostODS radar front end using mmwavelink over the DCA1000, as well as acquire data over the Ethernet/LVDS. I'm currently trying to run the mmwave_example in the dfp, just to verify it works. I've done data capture/chirp configuration prior with some custom code for the DCA1000/AWR2243Boost.

Running mmwave_example in mmwave_dfp_01_02_06_03 gives me:

=========== mmWaveLink Example Application ===========
Device map 1 : SOP 4 mode successful

Device map 1 : Device reset successful

rlComIfOpen Callback Called for Device Index [0]
rlDeviceEnable Callback is called by mmWaveLink for Device Index [0]
mmWave Device Power on failed for deviceMap 1 with error -8

=========== mmWaveLink Example Application execution Failed ===========

The examining the trace.txt just loops the following:

0261762.448963: [VER]mmWaveLink Studio Version: 1.1.5.3.9.8.18

0261762.887699: rlsFindAndOpenDevice: Got 4 devices connected 1

0261763.013645: FTDI Open Successful
0261763.013821: Enable Device

I've ensured that the board is in SOP mode 4 functional and I've previously run the obstacle detection demo in the Automotive toolbox with success.

Any advice on getting mmwave_example to run to completion? And are there any special procedures for capturing over LVDS? Otherwise, is this even possible?
