MMWAVEICBOOST: Error loading the firmware (MSS FW)

Part Number: MMWAVEICBOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843ISK, DCA1000EVM,

Hello,

I need to use the IWR6843ISK + DCA1000EVM + MMWAVEICBOOST. I have followed the instructions in a Texas Instruments document, everything seems to be fine, but when I load the masterss firmware it gives me an error (MSSFwVersion:(00.00.00.00 (00/00/00)) and the COM ports are disconnected.

I attach the aforementioned document and other one with more information about my case

Thanks and regards,

Hello,

What revision is your IWR6843ISK? If it is IWR6843ISK Rev D or newer you should try doing the setup without the MMWAVEICBOOST at least for the raw data collection portion.

Best Regards,
