AWR1642BOOST: UniFlash imaging troubles with short range radar lab

Karl Peterson

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hi,

I'm following the short range radar user guide to set up the lab but I'm having trouble flashing the image to my AWR1642BOOST. I have already put the EVM into flash mode by connecting jumpers SOP0 and SOP2. When I go to load the image for the lab "srrdemo_16xx.bin" the loading bar get's stuck while displaying this message:

"Connected to COM port"

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I have followed the user guild closely but can't seem to find anything wrong.

Thank you!

Karl,

Which COM port are you choosing in the "Settings & Utilities" tab in Uniflash? You should be entering the COM port that corresponds to the Application/User" UART entry in the Windows Device Manager.

Also make sure you only have the Uniflash tool open. If you have both the Uniflash tool and the GUI visualizer open, this can create problems when trying to communicate with the AWR1642BOOST.

Regards,
Kyle

Hi Kyle,

I've chosen the correct com port, and made sure to only have Uniflash open, I even tried it on another computer and yet it still doesn't work.

Karl,

Please make sure that only the Uniflash tool is attempting to connect to the AWR1642BOOST. If you have the GUI Visualizer and Uniflash open at the same time, this can present issues when trying to flash applications to the device.

Kyle

Hi Kyle,

I reinstalled and updated uniflash and it worked.

Thanks,
