IWR1443BOOST: Error led NERR_OUT on after configuration

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST

Hi,

I have just bought my IWR1443BOOST Evaluation Module. I do not have touched the board configuration (jumpers).

I have installed the SDK (Vers. 1.1.0) on my PC (Win10), the TI Cloud Agent Bridge and the TI Cloud agent. Then, I run the Demo Visualizer, configure the COM ports and the device is connected.

For sending the configuration to the Module, however, I have weirdly to select version 1.0 (version 1.1 returns the error "SDK input version [major/minor] =[1,1] not matching [1,0] reported by target, Hint: Change input version/target and try again"). With Version 1.0 the console message shows the commands sent to the Module for configuration, but as soon as it finished the led on the board NERR_OUT turns on and, obviously, the plots are empty.

Please, could you help me to solve this issue?

Many thanks in advance. 

  • Hello Davide,

    You will need to reflash your board with the SDK1.1 binaries. A walkthrough of this is provided on the TI-Resource Explorer under the SDK Demo Setup Guide: dev.ti.com/.../

    Let me know if you have more questions.

  • Dear Akash,

    thanks for your reply and help.

    I followed step-by-step the procedure and the outcomes from the configuration have been the same as the expected one presented in the guide.

    However, there is an information gap in the guide between slide 23 and 24. I try to guess the steps, but I failed because, in the end, the mmWave Demo Visualizer did not work properly.

    i summarize in the following the steps:

    1) with reference to slide 23, after the running the program, the output "[Cortex_R4_0] Debug: Launched the initialization tasks" appeared -> this is ok.

    2) at this point the guide, abruptly it stops. I therefore assumed to DISCONNECT in CCS the device, close CCS and power off the board.

    3) I power on the board and I noticed that again the "NERR_OUT" led is again turned on. I press the button NRST on the board and the led turned off.

    4) I runned the mmWave Demo Visualizer: it connects with TI Cloud agent correctly, and I configure the Serial ports.

    5) the Demo Visualizer, try to connect to device as shown below. I tried unsuccessfully to send configuration to device, but nothing happens.

    Please, could you explain me if the steps I did (NOT present in the guide) are correct or not? If, yes, what could the problem be with my board?

    Many thanks,

    Davide

    Dear Akash,

    I tried to leave CCS turned on and connected to the EVM and it seems that he connection between EVM and mmWave Demo Visualizer (in short, mmWDV) is established.

    However, after the configuration is sent to the device, the "NERR_OUT" turned on and the "Console" in CSS Debug returns the following errors:

    The XDS Eumulation package vers. 7.0.100.1 is correctly installed in the C:\ti\ccsv7 folder.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Hello Davide,

    Are you still having this problem?

    Please confirm you are using the firmware from the mmWaveSDK 1.1 as this is the supported version.

  • Dear Akash,

    the problem was the power supply. It was 5V 2.5A, but it seems to be not enough for the EVM.

    I changed it with one 5V 6A and everything works.

    Thanks for your kind support.
