IWRL6432BOOST: Unable to flash IWRL6432Boost with Uniflash

Part Number: IWRL6432BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

I am following the guide presented in the Presence and Motion users guide in the TI Resource Explorer as I would like to use the Industrial Visualizer without it suffering a fatal crash whenever I try to run a demo on my device. 

I follow the guide presented from Quickstart xWRL6432 Device: Using the Radar Toolbox Industrial Visualizer.

The device is configured as stated in flashing mode: S1 = 000010 S4 = 0011 and I try to flash the binaries that are supposed to be in <MMWAVE_SDK5_INSTALL_DIR>\examples\mmw_demo\motion_and_presence_detection\prebuilt_binaries but the only things there are some .appimage files,  which if I try to load them returns an error (to be expected):

Error!
Cannot read System Setup data from XML file C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Temp\ti_cloud_storage\uniflash_temp.ccxml Error parsing file: Fatal Error at (25, 46): An exception occurred! Type:UnexpectedEOFException, Message:The end of input was not expected

Is there a repository where I can find the .bin files that are expected in the Uniflash program or is it supposed to work with the .appimage files?

Cheers.

    Hi,

    Uniflash should be able to flash the device using the .appimage files. Can you send a screenshot of your device manager showing which COM ports the device is on? Are you sure you have the correct COM port selected to flash in Uniflash? Also can you send a screenshot of Uniflash when it fails?

    Regards,

    Tim

    Yes, in my device manager the UART port is listed as COM4 and the Data port is listed as COM5. Uniflash wants to default to COM1 so I put COM4 in there instead.

    This is what my client looks like before I press Load Image as directed:

    and afterwards I get this error message

    Hi,

    Can you send a picture of the setup of your device. I'd like to make sure you are in the correct flashing mode. What version of Uniflash do you have?

    Also, please try and use the SDK visualizer located in MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_02_00_02\tools\visualizer\Low_power_visualizer_5.2.0.2, and follow the same flashing instructions on there. Watch the console output of the program to see if any errors arise.

    Regards,

    Tim
