AWR2243BOOST: Error launching mmWave Studio 3.0.0.14

Part Number: AWR2243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM

Tool/software:

I'm trying to experiment with raw ADC capture using AWR2243BOOST and DCA1000EVM evaluation boards.

I've installed mmWave Studio 3.0.0.14, FTDI drivers, Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package, and MATLAB runtime, as described in file:///C:/ti/mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14/docs/mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf

But I can't get to mmWave Studio GUI because of an error:

    Hello Artem,

    Thanks for reaching out. The issue is likely due to a missing or incomplete MATLAB runtime. Could you please confirm you have MATLAB runtime R2017 or later is properly installed? if not, please re-install then reboot and try again. Let us know if any issue persists. 

    Regards,

    Aydin

    I did follow instructions from Quick Start Guide (SPRUIK7 – May 2018, found in ti/mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14/docs/DCA1000_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf) and installed MATLAB runtime with MCR_R2015aSP1_win32_installer.exe.

    According to your suggestion, I did uninstall R2015aSP1. Then installed both MCR_R2017b_win64 and MATLAB_Runtime_R2025a_win64 runtimes.

    Now I get a new, but similar error:

    Hi Artem,

    Could you check if you have the path specified in the system variables, please check the following Set MATLAB Runtime Path for Deployment - MATLAB & Simulink

    Regards,

    That's it!

    I reinstalled MCR_R2015aSP1_win32_installer.exe

    Added "C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\MATLAB Runtime\v851" to PATH.

    And it worked Slight smile

    Thank you for the help!
