AWR1642BOOST: Error -1 when starting Sensor - Demo

Hello Tony,

I am assuming that you have flashed the right binaries int he 2nd AWR1642BOOST .

Can you please share the log from failing visualizer and the corresponding log from the CCS console?

Hello Raghu,

thank you for your fast reply!

Here is the Log from the Visualizer:

Sadly i cannot give you a log from CCS, since i'm not using the debug mode and thus, no CCS is used to run the Demo Firmware. Could this solve the problem? I always thought, that the only difference between CCS and direct Bin-Flash is the option top debug the code...

This may not be the problem, but just in case

Make sure that you are using a 3A power supply.

SDK 3.0 does not support xWR1642, you should not use it.

Can you please take a look at the silicon on the EVM. It should be similar to attached picture (ES 2.0) silicon

Thank you

Cesar

Hello Cesar,

please excuse my late answer. It was a busy week.

I've checked the silicon on the board and recognized another Part number.

The Chip on my Board lists the following Numbers:

XAWR1642

IG

79ZDYH9

502  ABL 

The "X" makes me wondering.. 
What is this for?

Greetings and thank you very much!

Tony
