Tool/software:
Hello Experts,
I am trying to use the “xWRL6432_Raw_Data_Over_SPI” example from “\radar_toolbox_2_30_00_12\source\ti\examples\Fundamentals” for the AWRL6432BOOST. Following the steps from the user’s guide, I flashed the AWRL with the prebuilt binary. Afterwards I set S1.1 and S1.6 ON to setup the device for SPI transfer. I open the „spi_data_tool_capture.exe“ and select „MotionDetect_SPI_Data_Capture_FTDI.cfg” within “\radar_toolbox_2_30_00_12\source\ti\examples\Fundamentals\xWRL6432_Raw_Data_Over_SPI\chirp_configs\xwrl6432boost”.
The CLI window prints the following:

The “adcLogging 2” CLI command is not accepted even though S1.6 is set to ON (see line 29 above). The generated “data0.txt” file is empty as well. As you can see, the FTDI cable is recognized as well. How can I enable SPI ADC streaming to capture raw ADC data?
Thanks!
