    Hello Ravi,

    Please see the "How do I Re-flash the TI mmWave EVM with Out-of-Box demo?" section in the ROS Point Cloud Visualizer lab setup guide. On page 18 it mentions the image to flash:

    9. Specify the following flash image:
    For xWR6843 EVM:
    Meta Image 1:
    {$MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/packages/ti/demo/{$YOUR_DEVICE}/mmw/xwr68xx_mmw
    _demo.bin

    Please note that IWR6843 only needs a single bin file to be flashed since the bin file includes both the MSS and RadarSS images.

    Regards,
    John
