IWR6843ISK: Troubleshooting Connectivity Issues with IWR6843 Sensor and Silicon Labs CP210 Drivers in Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I am currently working with the IWR6843 sensor, but I'm encountering connectivity issues when attempting to deploy code onto the hardware via CCS. The issue seems to stem from the Silicon Labs CP210 drivers installed for the IWR6843, which aren't appearing in the connectivity section of CCS. Could you guide me on how to enable this connectivity? Is there a requirement for additional hardware to resolve this issue?

Thanks!

Hello,

Sorry for the delayed response here. Your patience is appreciated.

Yes. The MMWAVEICBOOST board is required in order to load code and debug through CCS. This is required for certain mmWave radar EVMs which do not have an XDS110 onboard, including IWR6843ISK. With the standalone IWR6843ISK, code should be deployed by writing to onboard flash through Uniflash.

Here are some relevant guides you can refer to:

I don't have MMWAVEICBOOST board, is there an alternative method available to load and debug through CCS?

Hello,

There is no alternative method for loading and debugging through CCS with the IWR6843ISK

Best Regards,

Josh.
