Hello Raghu,
Now the code is endless loop in the function SOC_waitBSSPowerUp which waits until BSS is powered up.what is the reason for that? The board is made by ourselves according to the PCB in the TI URL:www.ti.com/.../TIDA-01570
Thanks!

Rata

Hello Rata,
Error looks like the BSS is held in reset or the flash is empty.
What version of the AWR1642 you are using and what is the version SDK and the the CCSdebug.bin you have flashed in the EVM?

Hello Raghu,

The version of the AWR1642 is AWR1642ABIGABLRQ,the vesion SDK is mmwave_sdk_01_01_00_02. I have already confirmed that the flash is not empty.The console is as follows when the .bin is flashed:

As you said,'Error looks like the BSS is held in reset',and what cause that problem?

Thanks;

Rata ,

The device you are using seem to be ES2.0 devices. You need to use MMWAVE-SDK version 2.0.0.4 version on these devices.

Could you please flash the ccsdebug.bin from the SDK version 2.0.04 and check the behavior?
