IWR1443BOOST: Problems with flashing IWR1443BOOST; lab0009-gesture-recog-twirl

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, IWR1443

Hello,

I've tried to flash the IRW1443BOOST with Uniflash according to the guide from  http://dev.ti.com/tirex/#/?link=Software%2FmmWave%20Sensors%2FIndustrial%20Toolbox%2FLabs%2FGesture%20Recognition%20-%20Twirl%20Example

I've downloaded and extracted the latest versions of mmWave Industrial Toolbox (3_3_1 for Windows; to C:\ti).

As soon as I start flashing I get this error:

After looking through other community posts, I've found this.

So I've tried to flash without using the Radar_ss file, but then I get this error:

Format SFLASH for example works fine.

I'd be very happy to get any help to get this running :)

Thank you very much in advance!
