AWR2243: cacaded rf board device power up error

Please check the connection between the DSP and RF board

thank you

Cesar

I have checked the connection between the DSP and RF board and reconnected DSP to RF board several times.

Device1 ,3,4 can be configed. Only Device 2 have problem.

Thank you!

Hi,

I looked through older threads of this forum and did not see similar issue.

I think it could be a hardware issue.

I have asked our hardware team to review this thread.

Thank you

Cesar

Hi,

             I think you should start with below debug steps:

1. Affirm that the script of yours first "RF Powers" the Master/Primary device.

2. Power supplies scoping: Input to PMIC, output(s) from PMIC and then device 2's supply decaps.

3. Can you share the complete log file from studio?

Regards

thank you.

I will try tomorrow.

The following are logs from cascade example.exe in dfp :

Hi,

     Did you try doing this manually also, instead of script? 

Regards

Yes, I the logs I shows above is what I used mmwave studio manually.

Hi,

         Could you scope the power supply as recommended earlier?

Regards

I'm sorry that I had to do something a few days ago and couldn't reply the message in time.

The votage of PMIC are as follows.

Thank you!

I use FPGA to config the 4 divices.

D1 and D4 can be config with no promble.

Both D2 and D3 can not be configed.

D2 can not be power up

D3 can be power up, but RF init can not be config and the following comand can be congfig for D3:

AWR_DEV_CONFIGURATION_SET_SB
AWR_CHAN_CONF_SET_SB
Send_AWR_ADCOUT_CONF_SET_SB
Send_AWR_RF_DEVICE_CFG_SB
Send_AWR_RF_LDO_BYPASS_SB
AWR_DEV_RX_DATA_FORMAT_CONF_SB
AWR_LOWPOWERMODE_CONF_SET_SB
AWR_APLL_SYNTH_BW_CONTROL_SB
AWR_RF_MISC_CTL_SB
AWR_CAL_MON_FREQUENCY_TX_POWER_LIMITS_SB

When I use mmwave studio to config the Device, the situation is the same as when I use FPGA to config.

Thank you!

Hi,

              You are using AWR2243EVM(MMCAS-RF-EVM) or your custom board?

Regards

I am using AWR2243EVM(MMCAS-RF-EVM) board, which is TI's demo board.

Hi,

         can you please confirm the revision of the board?

When you try configuring the devices,

1. What is the state of DS4 to DS7?

2. State of DS1?

3. State of DS2?

Regards

Hi! The vision of the RF board is wwWave Cascade Radar EVM REV-E PROCO54. The seven LED are all on when I power up RF board. I have something to add: I want to observe the waveform of CSI2, so I connected RF board to TI's DSP board. Then I extracted the fly wire from the pin of the DSP: FX23-120S-0_5SV10 (J1) :FPGA2_DPHY0_D0_P(58),FPGA2_DPHY0_D0_N(59),Gnd(60) I used mmwave studio to config and receive the data from AWR2243. I catched the waveform from oscilloscope only once, after than I cannot power up D2 and RF init D3.

Thank you!

Hi,

     can you please check the connections being blue -wired from connector? Not sure if the blue wires might have shorted or damaged the board.

Regards

Hi,

     Can you please check the connections being blue -wired from connector? Not sure if the blue wires might have shorted or damaged the board.

Regards

Sorry, I donot know blue -wired means what. Do you means the fly wire?

HI,

        By blue wire i meant connecting wires on the board to pull some connectiosn or signals for measurement out.

regards
