DCA1000EVM: Sensors forum

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642BOOST


I have the IWR1642BOOST connected to the DCA1000EVM and I am using mmWaveStudio. Everything seems to be working fine, I have all the driver installed, but SPI connectivity status still reads "Disconnected." Any advice on how to fix this problem? The pictures are attached for reference.

  • Isaac,

    Have you pressed the "SPI Connect" button in mmWave Studio? It looks like you have not even loaded the firmware onto the device.

    You need to load the BSS firmware, then the MSS firmware, and then you connect SPI. And finally you power up the RF subsystem.

    The numbers in parentheses indicate the order of button presses.

    Regards,
    Kyle
