IWR6843ISK: DCA1000 SPI connect issue

Hi,

I am using an ES2.0 IWR6843ISK and mmwave_studio 2.1.1.0 and connect directly without mmwave carrier board to the DCA1000EVM. Going through the steps of connecting UART and loading BSS and MSS firmware works.

But there is a problem connecting the SPI.

Here is the Output log:

Am I missing something?

Thanks!
