IWR6843: Flashing new binary images without switching pins on sensor

Rami Chaari

Part Number: IWR6843

Dear support team,

I wanted to ask if there is a way to flash the sensors without having to change the pins? This would be very helpful for our usecases.

Kind regards,

Hi Rami,

What is the exact issue with changing the pins? Knowing why will help our team come up with the best alternative.

Thanks,

Angie

Hey Angie,

we're using our sensors as an IoT solution, which means we don't have direct access to the sensors to change the pins. Our idea is to develop new binary images and deploy them remotely. I hope that makes our use case a bit clearer.

Thanks,

Rami Chaari

Hi Rami,

Yes! So here is our bootloader app note: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra627/swra627.pdf?ts=1660750277324&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F, on page 5 you can find more info on the bootloader flow. In functional mode you will need to use Bootmode - SPI. I can help you if you have any questions about this process.

Thank you,

Angie
