  • Hi,

    Based on the log, it looks like the file is not correct for 1843.

    So I think you need to build this file for 1843.

    Thank you

    Cesar

  • Hi , Cesar

    I have also tried this file and got the same error.
    (Same hardware settings)

    file :
    mrr_18xx_mss.bin

  • Hi,

    The file you are trying to use does not have the correct flashing format.

    Please use this file:

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr18xx\mmw\xwr18xx_mmw_demo.bin

    This is the file that is formatted for flashing

    Thank you

    Cesar

  • Hi,

    I tried this file (xwr18xx_mrr_demo.bin) and it worked.

    What is the difference between this file and the file you provided?

    file I tried : xwr18xx_mrr_demo.bin

  • Hi,

    The xwr18xx_mrr_demo.bin includes the ARM and DSP executables in a flashable format.

    The mrr_18xx_mss.bin includes only the MSS (ARM) executable in non-flashable format.

    thank you

    Cesar
