AWR1243BOOST: First start AWR1243Boost

Andrey Ptashkin
Prodigy 50 points
Part Number: AWR1243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, AWR1243

I have only AWR1243boost. I do not MMWAVE-DEVICE.
I connect the USB cable AWR1243boost to the PC. Turned on power.

I Install:

mmwave_dfp_01_00_00_01_win32.

Matlab Runtime Engine

FTDI Drivers

HSDC Pro Software

mmwave_sdk_01_01_00_02-Windows-x86

uniflash_sl.4.2.2.1692


Copied the required files as written in Radar Studio User Gide item 2.1.-3 (If you are working with a single XWR1243 device)

When I start Radar studio I see an error and the program does not start
When I start Uniflash then I see the XDS110 device
When formatting SFLASH I see an error. Jumpers in position 101

Questions:
1. What is the problem?
2. Can I work with only AWR1243boost without the use of MMWAVE-DEVICE?
3. What tools are needed to work with AWR1243boost without the use of MMWAVE-DEVICE?

    Hi,

    Can you please share the COM ports you see from the Device Manager on your PC?

    Thank you

    Andrey,

    I have a few questions to ask:

    Which version of the Matlab Runtime Engine did you install? You need to have version 8.5.1 (32-bit) installed. You can download this version from this page: www.mathworks.com/.../matlab-runtime.html

    When open Uniflash, what are the steps that you take? I would recommend using the "New Configuration" option and select "mmWave" from the category and then select "AWR1243" and then select "Start".

    From your Device Manger, you will need to find out which COM port corresponds to the Application/User UART port.

    Using this COM port number, you will enter it in UniFlash. Navigate to the "Settings and Utilities" section located on the left side of the UniFlash tool. Under the setup area, enter in the COM port number you identified earlier.

    From a hardware standpoint, ensure that jumpers are placed on SOP2 and SOP0 when attempting to flash the EVM. These jumpers need to be placed before powering up the device. And once the device is flashed, remove SOP0 so that the EVM can load your application from flash.

    Additionally, if you are looking to output any data from the AWR1243 on the high-speed data lines, you will need to use the mmwave-devpack. You can find this device here: www.ti.com/.../MMWAVE-DEVPACK

    Please let us know if you have any questions.

    Regards,
    Kyle

    Hi, Kyle.
    One problem is solved. I turned off the power before installing the jumper.
    I was able to install the firmware on the device.
    The problem with Radar Studio has remained.
    I have Matlab Runtime Engine version 8.5.1 (32-bit)

    Can I see anything in Radar Studio without mmwave-devpack?
    Will the Radar Studio software work in my case and what can I do with it without having access to high-speed data?


    Thank you

    Andrey

    Hello,

    Kyle.

    The capture of high-speed data will be carried out by the device of its own design and the configuration of the AWR1243 operation via Radar Studio.

    I reinstalled MatLab Run Time on your link, but it did not help. Radar Studio does not start.

    Andrey,

    In order to communicate with RadarStudio using the EVM, you will need to obtain and use the mmwave-devpack. RadarStudio communicates with the EVM through the devpack.

    Andrey,

    Let us know when you are able to pair your EVM with the mmwave-devpack and if there is still an issue with RadarStudio after that.

    Kyle,

    Rafar Studio is run on another PC without the mmwave-devpack. I do not know why it does not start on my PC.

    Regards,

    Andrey
