AWR2944EVM: SOC Initialization Binary Flashing Issue

Matthew Mao
Prodigy 240 points
Part Number: AWR2944EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, AWR2944

Hello,

I was trying to flash SOC initialization binary on Windows 10 host with XDS_USB only connected but got "expected ACK; got None" on sending sbl_prebuilt/awr294x-evm/sbl_uart_uniflash.release.tiimage as below:

The EVM boot mode is set to SOP[2:0] = 101 for UART BOOTMODE.

Here below is info in Device Manager:

When connecting to the XDS110 Class Application/User UART (COM6), got expected output as below:

Device info on board: xWR2944EVM, PROC113, REV A.

Tried multiple time, always got the same issue.

How should I resolve this issue?

Thanks,

Matthew

    The the flashing output image is too small and not clear, so add the output text below:

    C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_02_00_03\mcu_plus_sdk_awr294x_08_02_00_25\tools\boot>python uart_uniflash.py -p COM6 --cfg=sbl_prebuilt\awr294x-evm\default_sbl_null.cfg

    Hi Matthew, 

                      Can you please try to flash using the uniflash tool on ti.com (https://www.ti.com/tool/UNIFLASH) which has support of flashing AWR2944 device now?

                      Let us know if you have any questions.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Matthew, 

                      Thanks for trying this out. Can you please try this flashing from a different computer and see if you are able to flash? Meanwhile let me try to check with the team internally on this on what can be done to solve this issue.

                      Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Akshay.

    Hi Akshay,

    I'll get my colleague to try it out this afternoon.

    Thanks,

    Hi Akshay,

    My colleague tried with his computer on both command line and UNIFLASH, got the same result as what I got. Is there any suggestion from your team?

    Thanks,

    Matthew

    Hi Matthew,

                       Thanks for trying this out on another computer. Can you please let me know which version of mcuplus_mmwave_sdk you are using whether its 4.2.0.3 or 4.2.0.2? Also, did you make any changes to scripts, rebuild and then flash? If there are some clock configurations or some other changes which you made, that could cause this issue that you are facing. Because from the command line output, data is getting sent but you are not able to get ACK. So you will need to check if any changes you made is causing this effect of no acknowledgement which makes the code to get stuck due to assert statements.

                       Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Akshay.

    Hi Akshay,

    The mmwave_mcuplus_sdk version is 4.2.0.3 (mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_02_00_03-Windows-x86-Install.exe). I didn't make any change to scripts and prebuilt images.

    Thanks,

    Matthew

    Hi Matthew, 

                     Thanks for confirming that you are using the prebuilt images. Can you please let me know if you are able to flash the attached files here with this reply?sbl_qspi.release.tiimagesbl_uart_uniflash.release.tiimageawr2944_ccsdebug.appimage

                            Let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi Matthew,

                     We are checking at our end the possible reasons why you are not able to flash the binary. Can you please confirm where you bought this device from? And also can you please send image of the chip (the AWR2944 chip) in centre (make sure to make this as clear as possible as we want to check and identify the device number)?

                     Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Akshay.

    Hi Akshay,

    The AWR2944 EVM board was from Bhavin Kharadi (bkharadi@ti.com).

    It tried to attach two images by either using Insert->Image/video/file tool or just Copy-n-Paste here, but no luck to get it work. I can email them to you if you provide me your email address or tell me how to insert image in this chat thread.

    Thanks,

    Matthew

    That is correct Matthew, the board was received from Bhavin, I don't know much more about where it came from on his side.
