IWR1443BOOST: Cannot find Out OF Box Demo MSS binary Image

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK, UNIFLASH

.

Thank you. This forum has been very helpful to me in the past.  I am trying to reload the "out of box demo" software back on my IWR1443BOOST sdk.  In the mmwave_sdk_users guide the instructions are to flash images for the BSS & MSS. I was able to find the bin file for the BSS image but, not the MSS. The instructions from the guide are:

For demo mode, choose from one of these binary files from the SDK:

mmwave_sdk_<ver>\packages\ti\demo\xwr14xx\mmw\xwr14xx_mmw_demo_mss.bin

mmwave_sdk_<ver>\packages\ti\demo\xwr14xx\capture\xwr14xx_capture_demo_mss.bin

The problem is that I cannot find either demo_ mss binary file. I tried redownloading and installing the mmWave Device Firmware Package (DFP) but, still cannot find the files. Where can I get these images? Can you send them to me?

Thanks again

Joe

    Hi Joe,

    You'll need to download version 1.2 of the mmWave-SDK. The mss binaries at the locations you have listed above and the bss is in the firmware folder of the SDK.

    Let me know if oyu have more questions.

    Wonderful, thanks for your quick reply. I was able to download version 1.2 and found the xwr14xx_mmw_demo_mss.bin file. It was in the path c:\ti\mmwave_sdk_01_02_00_05\packages\ti\demo\mmw\ I cycled the power off and on then tried to load the file from Radar Studio v1.7.4.0 the downloading stays at 0%. The message box displayed is Downloading Firmware to device... Please wait you can't terminate. Do I have to reerase the image and start again? Is there another way to flash the firmware in Uniflash or HSDC Pro?
    Please help me out again. Joe

    Hi Joe,

    Actually Uniflash is the preferred method to flash your board! There is a full guide on running the Out of Box demo which is available here: dev.ti.com/.../


    Let me know if you have more questions.

    Thanks again for all your help. I could not flash the xwr14xx_mmw_demo_mss.bin file using Uniflash. Now it not only hung the computer but, I got the blue screen of death when I closed the task using task manager. Is there another file that I can try? of course this will be after I wipe the computer and reinstall windows and all the other software.

    Hi Joe,

    I'm sorry to hear that! This is obviously not expected behavior by any means. Is this still happening to you? If it is would you be able to post a picture of your Uniflash Console or error message?
