IWR1642BOOST: Capture demo HyperTerminal error

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST


Good morning,

I am working at the moment with the IWR1642BOOST module and the mmWave DevPack together to run the capture demo from the SDK library in the memory capture mode. I am following the tutorial steps of the mmwave_sdk_user_guide (page 16-17 for reference http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru506/swru506.pdf). While introducing the configuration commands on the Hyperterminal (I am using the program "HyperTerminal Applet") i recieve the message "Done" for all the parameters introduced, until I reach the command "sensorStart", which would start recieving the data from the sensor. However I receive the following output on the terminal window:

CaptureDemo:/>flushCfg
Done
CaptureDemo:/>dfeDataOutputMode 1
Done
CaptureDemo:/>channelCfg 2 1 0
Done
CaptureDemo:/>adcCfg 2 1
Done
CaptureDemo:/>adcbufCfg 0 0 1 1
Done
CaptureDemo:/>profileCfg 0 77 20 5 80 0 0 40 1 256 6000 0 0 30
Done
CaptureDemo:/>chirpCfg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
Done
CaptureDemo:/>frameCfg 0 0 128 1 20 1 0
Done
CaptureDemo:/>lowPower 0 0
Done
CaptureDemo:/>sensorStart        <----------- Here is the error
Error -1
CaptureDemo:/>

I had the same issue while trying to do the same in the other demo mode "streaming over LVDS". What can it be wrong? I didn't see any interpretation in the user's manual about this error specifically.

  • Hello Carlos,

    What do you see in the CCS console window output when the error occurs?

    Can you try the following config and see if you get the same error:

    flushCfg
    dfeDataOutputMode 1
    channelCfg 15 4 0
    adcCfg 2 1
    adcbufCfg 0 0 1 1
    lowPower 0 0
    profileCfg 0 77 7 7 58 0 0 68 1 256 5500 0 0 30
    chirpCfg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4
    frameCfg 0 0 8 0 100 1 0
    sensorStart

    Regards,

    Adrian
