AWR1642BOOST: Problems with device

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

Tool/software:

Hi Experts,

We're trying to use an AWR1642Boost Rev. module for research purposes. I can't seem to connect to the out-of-the-box demo in either functional or development mode. I'm able to flash the OOB demo in the mmwave_sdk_03_06_02_00 to the board in flashing mode. Further, when I try to use the Matlab TI toolbox again I'm able to flash but unable to connect in functional mode. Using mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00 in development mode I'm able to connect rs232, flash the eval firmware in the same folder(xwr16xx_masterss.bin for mss and xwr16xx_radarss.bin for bss), and connect over spi. However, when I try to power up RF I get:

[16:21:48]  Status: Failed, Error Type: RESP TIMEOUT
[16:21:52]  BSS Power Up async event was not received!

Basically, I haven't had luck with the awr1642boost module. Am I doing something wrong? 

I looked through the forum last night and couldn't find anything similar, so I tried most of the suggestions that were somewhat related.

Please advise


Regards,

Josel
