Hi,

Can you please use the online version of the Quick Start Guide?

thank you

Hi Cesar,

I followed the online version of Quick Start Guide. I think I still got into the same situation. It look like SPI is not connected and the "SPI Connect(5)" button is greyed out.

the log is attached as well.

Thanks,

Xinsi

any update?

Hello Xinsi,
Can you manually power cycle the boards, click on the "set" and then click on the RS232 "Connect" ? If you can share that snapshot that would be helpful.

Regards,
Vivek

ethernet capture dump.zipHi Vivek,

That is what I did from the beginning!   I am able to get a bit further on my side.  for now the problem looks like I don't get data from DCA1000EVM. With wireshark, I am able to see house PC is communicating to the DCA1000EVM on config port 4096 only, no activity on data port. Can you please check the wireshark data to see what is going on? wiredata capture is attached.  the mmwave_studio is below:

2766.ethernet capture dump.zip

re-attached the  wireshark capture  again! the one in the previous post is in a weird location.

After I changed SW2.5 to CONFIG_VIA_SW, I see the data being sent to the house PC via wireshark! however I still got the same error as before which is complaint about "adc_data.bin is empty" as below-

HI,

We were communicated that this issue was resolved.

Can you please share with the forum what the issue was?

thank you
