AWR1443BOOST: mmwave studio, SPI connect timeout

Part Number: AWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, AWR1642BOOST

Tool/software:

I'm having a similar problem to what's been mentioned before using the mmwave studio to load binaries and connect spi. I've done whats been suggested on other threads and flashed the sflash through the uniflash program with sop headers at sop0=1, sop1=0, sop2=1. I then turn the board off and switch the sop settings to sop0=1, sop1=1, sop2=0 and turn the board on, I reset the board a couple times (although the LEDs don't respond when i press the reset button). I load the studio as administrator and click set, then connect and then both binaries, radarss then masterss respectively and then i click the spi connect button and i recieve the error message: [11:05:12] Status: Failed, Error Type: RESP TIMEOUT
[11:05:17] MSS Power Up async event was not received!

I've tried a few things, I've changed hardware I've used different versions of software I've downloaded the ftdi drivers for the dca1000. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Rhys
