AWR1642BOOST: COM ports not detected

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM, IWR1642

Tool/software:

We have set up the IWR1642EVM and DCA1000EVM boards as described in the  TCA1000EVM Quick Start Guide. The image below displays our current setup, the white cable is our USB connection to the computer and the black cable connects to our 5V power supply.

When connecting the boards to our computer via USB cable, it is not detected under "Other Devices" or "Ports(COM)" (shown below). The computer is running on Windows 11; we have attempted to add COM ports through the device manager, but it appears we don't have them.

We only can see 4 EVM ports but not 2 XDS110 ports.

We have installed proper driver but still cannot proceed.

 

The LED (5V led and NRST) on the IWR1642 board are blinking at the same time.

We believe that it is the problem and want to know the meaning of the blinking.

  • Hello, 

    Please remove the XDS and FTDI USB cables. Power up the board without USB the cables, connect XDS cable on the EVM first, then the FTDI cable to the DCA1000 board. Let me know if you could see XDS110 show up under the ports. 

    Could you also mark on your board image above which LED you are referring to. 

    Regards,

    Aydin
