DCA1000EVM: Ethernet connection , FPGA communication and mmWave Studio

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243BOOST

Hi,

I have a DCA1000EVM and a AWR1243BOOST cards. I am having poblems with the ethernet connection from the DCA1000EVM card.

- I had read all the posts in regards to this issue.

- I followed all the instructions in guides.   

- I have 2 power supplies. 5V  3amp.

- The switches are in the right positions:

SW2

1: LVDS_CAPT
2: ETH_STREAM
3: 1243_MODE
4: RAW_MODE
5: SW_CONFIG
6: USER_SW1
7: USER_SW2
8: USER_SW3

In SW1

1: 12BIT_OFF
2: 14BIT_OFF
3: 16BIT_ON

SOP0: closed
SOP1: closed
SOP2: open

- Ethernet cables were verified.

- with command:  ar1.CaptureCardConfig_EthInit("192.168.33.30", "192.168.33.180", "12:34:56:78:90:12", 4096, 4098)  from the script I get:

ethernet cable is disconnect please check connection 

- I have used wireshark, I am sure PC card is capturing packages, but there is not any package coming from the DCA1000.
   In fact, the  ARP package  coming from my PC to the DCA  did not get any answer

- I have used lattice programmer to reflash the FPGA according to the instructions on page 22-26 of the guide:

www.ti.com/.../spruij4.pdf

  I am using the file:   DCA1000_FPGA_RECORD_V2.5_10APR2018.bit       found at mmWaveStudio folder. There were not any problem when flashing.

What else I can do?  Is there any other file that I can use to flash the FPGA ?

P.S - I am running windows 7. it is not a problem related to windows 10.
