IWR1443BOOST: IWR1443BOOST Flash

Hiromichi Imabayashi

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST

Dear Sir

If you connect your PC to the IWR1443BOOST and run the mmWave Demo Visualizer (xWR14xx_mmw_demo.bin is flashed to the IWR1443BOOST), but want to run other receiving programs for the IWR1443BOOST without using the mmWave Demo Visualizer, Is flash necessary? 　

In the above, if the IWR1443BOOST flash data is maintained even when the power is turned off, will the program be transferred from the Flash to the SRAM and executed when the IWR1443BOOST is turned on and the Reset (NRST) button is turned on?

Thank you.

Hello Hiromichi,

1. Yes, the flash is required. When the device powers up, the contents of the external flash are loaded into RAM utilizing QSPI and follow the bootloader flow. Kindly view the available demos on the TI resource explorer website below. The OOB demo includes the source file and instructions on how to flash the EVM.

2. The binary/software flashed to the IWR1443BOOST is saved. Power reset/NRST toggle does not clear the binary and so you do not have to flash it every time. The external flash contents are loaded into RAM using QSPI when the device boots up and follows the bootloader flow.

Regards

Ankit
