Hi,

I got IWR6843ISK(QG) the other day and am considering it.

There is a problem that communication stops when the STOP button is pressed in a Qt GUI application.
When I checked the Qt GUI application, the STOP button only sent the sensorStop string.
I'm checking the FW write procedure as it's most likely blocking control on the FW side.

Is there a way to update FW via USB/UART?

* We think that adding soft reset control to the sensorStop reception processing
on the FW side and restarting the evaluation board will solve the problem.

Hi,

This is something you can add yourself. In this guide you will find the steps to add a soft reset CLI command. If you modify the Qt GUI to call sensorStop followed by this new soft reset cli command you should be able to fix this issue.

Thank you,

Angie

Hi,
My product is a Vital_Signs application, so I couldn't use the soft reset FW as it is,
It was an easy-to-understand material, so porting is fine.
Thank you.
