IWR1642BOOST: running mmwave studio

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Tool/software:

I have a IWR1642BOOST and a AR1XXXEVM that should allow me to connect to the mmwave studio.

I have read through AWR1443BOOST: SPI disconnection error when run mmWave Studio 2.1.0 on AWR1443BOOST + AR1XXXEVM - Sensors forum - Sensors - TI E2E support forums.

However, although I get all of the connected status' and can do the RF Power-up I cannot run. It will try to load things and will load the first time then never move past the second.

  • I have done all of the steps in the radar api but I cannot get any raw data. Within the Capture and Post Processing box under the SensorConfig page I cannot get the TSW1400 ARM to go through.

    How do I fix this error?

  • Hello,

    This might be an issue caused by the version of firmware you are using, but can you tell me what exactly line 32 is doing in that file?

  • When trying to open the file I am getting an error that saying

    "The file is not displayed in the text editor because it is either binary or uses an unsupported text encoding."

    I have downloaded matlab so not sure

  • I have also tried to go through matlab online and could not open the file. It seemed to be jarbled information.

  • I have tried to open other matlab files and nothing in appdata will open but the files that are in the ti folder open just fine. so, I do not think that I will be able to see what is wrong with line 32.

    What else should I try?

  • Hello,

    https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/921616/awr1642boost-2tx-and-rx-error

    In this thread, their error involves the same file but a different line. That being said your error does have HSDC pro in it so I think that would be a good place to look into. There are several other threads with an error at the same file.

    Also the error "Attempt to reference field of non-structure array" gives me the impression an input field is in the wrong form or typed incorrectly.

    Best Regards,
