AWRL6432BOOST: Several CLI command is not recognized as a CLI command when start MATLAB GUI

Part Number: AWRL6432BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWRL6432

Dear Sir,

We bought 4 units of AWRL6432BOOST, but we met some issues: 

(1). We download pre-built FW into EVM below:

=> ..\radar_toolbox_1_30_01_03\source\ti\examples\InCabin_Sensing\prebuilt_binaries\AWRL6432_Capon2D.appimage

(2). We run MATLAB GUI below:

=> ..\radar_toolbox_1_30_01_03\tools\visualizers\InCabin_LifePresenceDetection_GUI\AWRL6432_LifePresenceDetection_visualizer.exe

As a result, 3 units can work successfully,but 1 unit met the following error message:

(Several CLI command is not recognized as a CLI command)

================================================

Do you have any suggestion for this issue ? How to fix it ? Many Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

TC.Chou

  • Hi, Chou:

    1) Can you make sure that all the EVM are ES1 devices.

    2) Can you do a manual power cycle and try again?   

    3) Can you make sure the calibration binary (located at C:\ti\MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_03_00_02\tools\Ate_Calibration\xwrL64xx)  has been flashed first on this EVM board? 

    Best,

    Zigang

  • Here is how you can tell ES1 vs ES2 device.  The ES1 has '791' in the bottom left/ ES2 has '791B' in the bottom left

  • Dear Zigang,

    Thanks for your quick assistance.

    (1). It's ES1 which has '791' in the bottom left.

    (2). After the following Steps, EVM can work successully.

    a. flash C:\ti\MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_03_00_02\tools\Ate_Calibration\xwrL64xx\calibration_example.release.appimage

    b. flash ..\radar_toolbox_1_30_01_03\source\ti\examples\InCabin_Sensing\prebuilt_binaries\AWRL6432_Capon2D.appimage

    c.run ..\radar_toolbox_1_30_01_03\tools\visualizers\InCabin_LifePresenceDetection_GUI\AWRL6432_LifePresenceDetection_visualizer.exe

    Many Thanks again.

    Sincerely,

    TC.Chou
