Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843AOPEVM, , DCA1000EVM
Hello, team
I've seen similar questions to mine but the solutions provided there have not helped me whatsoever, so maybe I'm missing a step or doing something wrong.
What I'm trying to do
I'm trying to collect raw data from the IWR6843AOPEVM board following the users' guide. For this the process I follow is:
- Connected IWR6843AOPEVM to MMWAVEICBOOST.
- Connected DCA1000EVM to MMWAVEICBOOST using the Samtec connector.
- Connected DCA1000EVM Ethernet cable to my PC.
- Connected MMWAVEICBOOST's FTDI and XDS110 ports to my PC.
- Set configuration of S1 in MMWAVEICBOOST to be in "DCA1000 mode".
- Set SOP jumpers of MMWAVEICBOOST to be in "development mode", i.e SOP2 open, SOP1 short, SOP0 short.
- Powered-on MMWAVEICBOOST only
- Launched mmWave Studio.
COM ports are correctly configured and recognized by my PC as you can see in the picture below.
Problem encountered
When I'm trying to connect to the board by RS232 to upload BSS and MSS binaries, I get the error "[RadarAPI]: Error: Connection failed: Calling_ConnectTarget returned 3".
As you can see, I have selected the corresponding values of Operating Frequency and Device Variant and the correct COM port (COM32 in my case). The GUI detects the device, but the connection to the RS232 fails.
What I've tried
Reading related questions, I tried to do the following:
- Tried connecting to COM port using another software. PuTTY is capable of doing so, so COM port is accessible.
- Checked that COM port is not used by other program. It is not.
- Tried changing SOP configuration. The first time I tried this SOP2 was shorted, so I proceeded to configure SOP to be on "development mode" and power-on and power-off the board, but mmWave Studio is still unable to connect to the RS232 port after multiple attempts.
I should also say that currently, LED's 5V, 3V3, SOP2_FT, and SOP0_FT are on. SOP1_FT and NRST_FT are barely on (maybe I have voltage problems?). Also when I do a power cylce, SOP LEDs start an on-off sequence and then stay static in the position I just described.
