IWR1443BOOST: Unable to update firmware using Uni flash

Hello,

When you type "ll /dev", do you see ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 or do you see ttyACM0 and ttyACM1?

Best Regards,

I see the ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1

Hello,

Are you sure you have a IWR1443BOOST? I have never seen a Radar EVM with the XDS debugger such as 1443BOOST show up as ttyUSB0 as opposed to ttyACM0. ttyUSB0 tends to show up for 6843 which are our non-BOOST devices that use a different UART module (Silicon Labs) as opposed to the XDS 110. Maybe you need to install the XDS drivers on your computer? Below is an older but quick to install version of just the XDS110 driver package which includes a Linux installation.

Hello, we have both board , IWR1443BOOST and IWR1443 wellenzahl board. I am try to upload the high accuracy firmware bin file. and Also get the error when i installing uniflash software in my system, image attach in mail. 

I am trying to upload xwr14xx_high_accuracy_mss.bin on my wellenzahl iwr1443 board using ftdi usb to ttl module and follow the following steps. 

1) Make two changes to 0E resistor links as per diagram below.

2) Make connections to power supply, command/Programming port uart as shown in below figure:

Note: Connection to data port are is optional during programming.

Note: Raspberry pi is used only as power supply.

3) Set Pin 3 on black connector (Pin 6 on red connector) to 3.3V, for entering into program mode. Restart IWR1443 board.

4) Burn xwr14xx_high_accuracy_mss.bin file using TI Uniflash tool

For process of burning using uniflash refer: mmwave_uniflash_user_guide_v1.0.pdf

Hello

Is there any reason you are not reaching out to Wellenzahl on this? I can only speak for the IWR1443BOOST, but with regards to the error given during Uniflash installation, did you attempt to do what the error window recommends you do with configuring USB permissions as sudo?

Best Regards,

Pedrhom
