DCA1000EVM: showing LVDS Buffer Full when trigger frame, FPGA ERROR LED glowing RED

Sapana Shirsat

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843AOPEVM

Tool/software:

Hi Team,
I am working on AWR1843AOPEVM + DCA1000EVM to capture the ADC raw data.
1. In MM Wave studio it is showing error as "LVDS buffer full" and while trigger frame, FPGA error LED is glowing RED.
Please guide me resolve the issue.
2. During test, I observed that DDR3 got heat up too high. I done cold test, thinking DDR3 issue is there. May be this error because of DDR3 is not working. So, looking to replace it, but this IC is obsolete.  Please suggest an alternative part number for MT41K1G8SN-125 IT:A (DDR3 SDRAM).
 
Waiting for your response.

    Hello,

    What is the power supply you are using? Did this board ever work in the past?

    Can you also share the full studio log when you see the error?

    Regards,

    Adrian

    Yes, I have used the board in past time. I am giving power supply of 5V and 1 Amp to the DCA1000EVM board. For AWR1843AOPEVM power supply is through Laptop.

    The setup image providing here, please take look.

    Here the studio log when its showing error.

    Meanwhile if you could suggest the alternative for DDR3 it will be helpful?

    Hello,

    Based on your log it looks like there is something wrong with your DCA1000. You are getting overflow message which means the data is not being sent out over Ethernet fast enough, but your configuration should not cause this issue. So, it seems like there is some issue with the DCA1000 failing to send data over Ethernet. 

    I would recommend following the customer return process below based on where you purchased the board. Then, you can provide them a link to this thread as evidence. They should provide you with a replacement for free.

    Regards,

    Adrian
