MMWAVE-STUDIO: PostProc not opening

or cohen
Prodigy 50 points
Part Number: MMWAVE-STUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843BOOST, DCA1000EVM

Hi I an using AWR1843BOOST and dca1000, I onnected everything properly to the computer and did all the setup inside the mmWave studio app ( pictures added).

after I did this setup I press on the "setup dca1000" button and I press on the "Connect, Reset and Config" button

after I pressed the button nothing happened and after a miniute of waiting the following thing chenged:

It does not show me the version of the FPGA and it wont open the PostProc window (I did press the arm dca1000 and trigger frame buttons and I waited 2 seconds between each button press).

Can anyone help me fix the problem?

    Hi,

    Can you confirm when did you buy this DCA1000EVM, or provide snapshot of the board with ID printed on it.

    Regards,

    Hi,

             Also can you confirm in the log what message you get when you click on the connect?

    Also, please confirm that the PC side IPv4 connection properties have correct IP being configured for the DCA1000 connection.

    Regards

    the IPV4 has the correct IP adress.

    where can I find the message log?

    Hi,

            You can confirm the IPv4 assigned ID from command prompt using ipconfig. And for the message log you can see the studio output window.

    Hi,

                 I was referring to the studio output window log. I am putting a snap of the same.

    Hi,

          Thanks. From the log the DCA doesn't seem to respond and causes timeout error.

    You can try few things:

    1. Disconnect any other ethernet(wired or wireless) connectivity from your system and then connect the ethernet cable of DCA1000.

    2. When you start the studio then follow below flow:

                   1. DCA1000 check box

                    2. set the SOP mode.

                    3. Select the UART port from(XDS110) the EVM mounted on your PC and connect it.

                    4. Connect in DCA1000 card window.

    3. If above doesn't do good try re-flashing the DCA1000 FPGA image.

    I tried what you suggested but it did not work. 

    anything else I can do?

    Hi,

       In the second step can you please share the studio log file(not the snapshot)

    for the third point can you please confirm which image did you flash in the DCA1000?

    Hi, the issue has been resolved.

    I had to turn of the windows firewall.
