    Rahul,
    SDK installation has been tested in Linux and Windows environments.
    Looks like installation dependent tools cause this hung issue. Could you try skipping selecting this particular tool (TI CGT C6000compiler) from SDK installation window checklist and proceed.

    Further you can install SDK only from the insallation and download all depedency tools manually.

    Hello Rahul,

    Can you clarify which SDK version you took the prebuilt binaries from when you flashed the EVM?

    For IWR1443BOOST, please try flashing the binaries from SDK 1.2. Also, please make sure to select SDK 1.2 in the mmWave Demo Visualizer GUI.

    Hi,

    I have flashed sdk1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. Previously i have been using 1.0 and 1.1. Are those versions not useful now? 1.2 is necessary?

    As while installing 1.2 on my ubuntu18.04 it gets hang while installing cgt-c6000-8.1.3 and other tools. Then i installed sdk only and flashed the binary. From then its not working. After that i flashed 1.0 again but not giving no response after sending config through demo visualiser.

    Hi Rahul,

    According to the mmWave SDK release notes, only Ubuntu 14 and 16 are tested with the SDK. Using Ubuntu 18 might cause installation issues.

    Previous SDK versions should work but may have bugs that were fixed in the latest version. For that reason it is always recommended to use the latest supported SDK version (1.2 in this case).

    Could you verify that when flashing you flashed both the BSS and MSS binaries from SDK 1.2? For reference, they are located in the (installed) SDK at:

    BSS: mmwave_sdk_01_02_00_05\firmware\radarss\xwr12xx_xwr14xx_radarss.bin
    MSS: mmwave_sdk_01_02_00_05\packages\ti\demo\xwr14xx\mmw\xwr14xx_mmw_demo_mss.bin

    NOTE: Please make sure that the SOP2 jumper is removed and the EVM is power cycled after flashing. The device will not operate if the SOP2 jumper is left on after flashing.

    Could you verify that you tried using the mmWave Demo Visualizer on Windows and selected 14xx and SDK 1.2 in the GUI?

    Please also verify that you have a 5V power supply plugged into the EVM that can supply at least 2.5 Amps. You may also want to try a different supply in case the one you are using has an issue.

    If you are still having issues, please send the console trace from the mmWave Demo Visualizer console window that is output when you send the config to the device.

    Regards,
    John

    Hi john,

    Thanks for the details.

    I got one point from this, i think i was flashing wrong MSS bin file. I was flashing - from package/ti/utils/ccsdebug/xwr14xx_ccsdebug_mss.bin

    I guess this is the issue.

    Thanks i will try this.

    HI john,

    Thanks. Its working now.

    Specially thanks for the bin file location.

    But the point is it is working with version1.0 and 1.1 only.

    Not working with 1.2 , whenver i hit send config option, there is nothing displayed on the console window of demo visualiser.

    Don't know what is the reason.

    Also as an information,
    i go to online demo visualiser page and do the serial port configuration and hit the send config command, nothing happens. Again i open desktop demo visualiser app and do the serial port configuration but with revert ports, then it starts working. I don't know it is hardware issue or something else. But wanted to tell you as a part of concern if there.
    Thanks.
