Hi Mark,

Customer can refer to "C:\ti\mmwave_studio_03_01_03_01\docs\mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf" which has step by step information to use mmWave Studio.

Seems like there is an issue in establishing ethernet connection. Can you ask the customer if they have set the PC IP address correctly?

If they are still facing the issue, can you ask the customer to reflash the FPGA binary onto DCA1000 by following the instructions mentioned in section 3.2 of "C:\ti\mmwave_studio_03_01_03_01\docs\mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf".

Regards,

Samhitha

Hi Samhitha,

The PC IP address is set accordingly. But still unable to resolve the issue

Did the customer try by re-flashing the FPGA binary onto DCA1000?

Customer can refer to the above-mentioned document. They can navigate to the link that is pointed in the document for the instructions on flashing the FPGA binary. DCA1000EVM Data Capture Card User's Guide (Rev. A)
