Part Number: AWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1443, UNIFLASH

I tried to burn firmware to flash memory in AWR1443 boost, but it returned error message that  I have no permission to burn it.

Could you show me the way to solve this problem?

    Hello,
    Can you check if the COM port number in the 'settings & Utilities' tab? Can you refer to section 4.1 of the SDK users guide for the detailed instructions on flashing the binaries to select?

    Hello, Mr. Vivek

    Thank you for your reply.

    I refered to sdk user guide and set SOP2/SOP1/SOP0 to 1/0/1.

    I was able to erase flash but when I have tried to burn other FWs to flash memory, I got error message about permission.

    I selected the FWs are  b.i and b.ii.2  in section 4.1.2.

    Hello,
    Thanks for the confirmation. So you seem to have the right configuration. Looks like windows seems to be restricting the access to the COM port , are you able to connect to the same COM port using some other UART application like hyperterminal of tera term? Are there any administrative privileges required on your PC to access the COM ports?

    Regards,
    Vivek

    Hello, Mr. Vivek



    Thank you for your reply again.

    I'm able to connect to the same COM port using tera term.
    I was able to set awr1443 to cfg same to "capture_demo_script.txt" in section 3. 4. 2.

    Hello,
    Let me make sure I understood it correctly, you were able to flash the "xwr14xx_capture_demo_mss.bin" image (along with xwr12xx_xwr14xx_radarss.bin) and are able to run the capture demo (ie see the demo banner on tera term) ?
    If you are able to do this I assume the issue you are seeing is while flashing the "xwr14xx_mmw_demo_mss.bin" ?

    Hello,

    I was able to set awr1443 to cfg same to "capture_demo_script.txt" in the initial binary images that were already flashed by TI when I got.
    But I was not able to do capture demo. So I think initial binary images are not "xwr12xx_xwr14xx_radarss.bin" and "xwr14xx_capture_demo_mss.bin".
    Is it right? I want to know the initial images.
    After that, I set SOP2/SOP1/SOP0 to 1/0/1 and erase flash on AWR1443 boost by UniFlash, so that it shows green message of operation completed successfully .
    Next, I tried to flash "xwr12xx_xwr14xx_radarss.bin" and "xwr14xx_capture_demo_mss.bin", but I was not able to flash them.
    I want to know how to flash them for capture demo and other images for future development.

    Hello,
    Thanks a lot for providing the details, I understand the situation now. By default the image flashed on the EVM is "xwr12xx_xwr14xx_radarss.bin" and "xwr14xx_mmw_demo_mss.bin" , hence you would not be able to run the capture demo with it.
    When you started Uniflash did you select the right device? Can you attach a snapshot of the Uniflash error window?

    Regards,

    Hello ,
    After you erase the serial flash did you power cycle the device before trying to flash the images?
    Or you can just skip the erase step and directly just flash the image, the erase would also be done in this process.

    Hello,

    I attached number to jpg and did in the order corresponding to this number.

    Why did you think I did power cycle? I didn't write so. Also, I didn't skip the erase step.

    I want to watch video that you become successful in flashing images.

    Hello,
    Sorry, maybe I was not clear. Once you do the erase step you do need to power cycle the device (turn on the power supply and turn it on again) . If you see the comment mentioned in the error log you have posted above, it does suggest you to power cycle the device before you try to flash.

    The other option is you need not do the erase step separately, you can directly try the flashing itself. During the flashing process itself it would do the erase first. So what I was eluding to was to suggest you to skip the erase step.

    regards,
    Vivek
