AWR2243: How to flash AWR2243 using Uniflash over UART?

Part Number: AWR2243
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, , MMWAVE-DFP, , AWR1243

I want to flash an AWR2243 using Uniflash. Is it possible to do this when SOP 5 mode set and using a direct serial connection to the UART interface of the AWR2243?

I am getting the following error in Uniflash:

Also, are these the correct image files and order of image files to be flashed (both from the MMWAVE-DFP)?

Meta Image 1: xwr2xxx_radarss_rprc.bin

Meta Image 2: xwr22xx_mss_rprc.bin

As some background info, the device is already functioning and downloading firmware update via SPI to SRAM works. Another option for flashing would be to flash to SFlash via SPI but I am also having trouble achieving this, especially with the ES1.0 chips. Are there any updated examples which work for this (apart from what is already in the MMWAVE-DFP?

Many thanks,

Mark
