AWR2544LOPEVM: Raw data collection

Part Number: AWR2544LOPEVM


Hello Experts,

I would like to collect raw data with a DAC1000 and the AWR3544LOPEVM kit.

I configured the board exactly the way it is described in the TI doc here.

WIth one exception though. Since mmWave Studio requires an RS232 connection, I also plugged the USB port on the XDS110.

But in mmWaveStudio (version 3.1.4.4), I am unable to get step 2 to work, the RS232 never connects.
It returns the following error:
[20:42:19]  [RadarAPI]: Error: Connection failed: Calling_ConnectTarget returned 3
 
So I tried to flash the latest SDK image (4.7), using the CLI, I was able to flash the board with the following command:
python uart_uniflash.py -p COM23 --flash-writer="C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_04\mcu_plus_sdk_awr2544_10_01_00_05\tools\boot\sbl_prebuilt\awr2544-evm\sbl_uart_uniflash.release.tiimage" --file="C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_04\mcu_plus_sdk_awr2544_10_01_00_05\tools\boot\sbl_prebuilt\awr2544-evm\sbl_qspi.release.tiimage" --operation=flash --flash-offset=0x0 --file="C:\ti\radar_toolbox_3_30_00_06\tools\studio_cli\prebuilt_binaries\mmwave_studio_cli_awr2544.appimage" --operation=flash --flash-offset=0x80000
 
But it did not resolve my issue in mmWave Studio, I ran into the exact same problem. Moreover, when I plug in the XDS110 port in Putty, I get the following message:
Starting QSPI Bootloader ...
Some tests have failed!!

Am I supposed to use a different SDK version with this board?

Am I supposed to acquire raw data with a different tool?
