AWR2944EVM: Image flashing issue XMODEM send failed

Part Number: AWR2944EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, , AWR2944

(Same issue) Related to: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/1101390/awr2944evm-soc-initialization-binary-flashing-issue

I'm using the uniflash tool (version 8.6.0.4688) to flash the demo application on the AWR2944EVM

The module is detected below succesfully.

(See SOP jumper settings on image)

I select SBL Image: C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\tools\awr294x\sbl_uart_uniflash.release.tiimage

I select App Image: C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\ti\demo\awr294x\mmw\awr2944_mmw_demoTDM.appimage

Result of Uniflash console :

  • Hi Lucas,

    Can you rebuild the files and try flashing it again.

    Regards,

    Shruti

  • All, Shruti,

    Your suggestion brought me on the right track.

    Rebuilding files in CCS dit not work.

    I went back to the 'mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_04_01_02' (solved the issue)

    Some other attention points:

    * is was using the sbl_uart_uniflash.release.tiimage (but this one is already by default loaded by uniflash, does not need to be selected

    * SBL: C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\tools\awr294x\sbl_qspi.release.tiimage

    * APP: C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\ti\demo\awr294x\mmw\awr2944_mmw_demoTDM.appimage

    * Need to apply power fist, wait 5 sec & later connect usb.

  • Hi Lucas,

    Good to know that your issue is resolved.

    Regards,

    Shruti
