IWR6843AOPEVM: Questions about setup in the handbook "Overview of MMWAVE SDK Demo - 68xx AOP"

Another question: After i follow the combination of video (for phfysical setup) and handbook (for connecting to the mmWave Demo Visualizer), it seemed that it was always connecting to the sensor showed in the following picture. Is it normal for waiting such a long time or there is something wrong?

Hello.

Please make sure you have set the board to functional mode before connecting to the visualizer.  It should connect immediately.  Also to answer Q.3, check out the out of box demo and all of the other labs we have available, with the out of box demo linked here.

Hello,

The sensor is in the functional mode, but it still could not connect to the computer.

Hello.

Just to cover all the bases, have you flashed the out of box demo binary file onto the device, and also do you have any other program connected to the COM port(like TeraTerm)?

Sincerely,

Santosh

Yes, the binary file is already flashed into the device. No other program is connecting to the device while connecting to the demo visualizer. I did everything according to the tutorial for the setup (https://training.ti.com/hardware-setup-iwr6843aop?context=1128486-1139154-1147566 ) but just failed to connect.

With regards to your question on drivers, make sure you download the Windows CP210x Windows drivers, which contains the installation files for the VCP drivers.  This is the 4th item on the list you provided, but not the one you installed.  Try this and see if it works.

Sincerely,

Hello,

The problem still remains. Still connecting all the time.

Hello Kenan.

Can you go through the Out of Box demo user guide and see if the issue persists?  This document lists all the steps to get started as well as all the necessary downloads.  Let me know if the issue persists after going through this as well.

Sincerely,
