MMWAVE-STUDIO: MMWCAS-RF-EVM calibration verification

Hi,

Is this the first time you are using the board?

Thank you

Cesar

No. It used to work fine and now I am getting this.

Hi Javier,

What power supply are you using? 

Could you provide the entire mmWave Studio log?

Thank you,

Jin

I am using a 12 V 3 A power supply. I am using mmwave-studio 03.00.00.14. Here is the log:

Hi Javier,

Could you try with a 12V 5A power supply for the MMWCAS-DSP-EVM?

This is the typical power supply for the MMWCAS-DSP-EVM: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruis6/spruis6.pdf

Thank you,

Jin

Yes I can try. But now, in my supply I don't see the device asking for more than 800 mA...So I don't think the problem is that I need 5 A instead of 3 A

I already tried with a 12V 5A power supply and I still get the same error

Hi Javier,

Glad to hear it was resolved. Thanks for sharing your solution.
