AWR1642BOOST: NO data in mmWave demo visualizer

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

I flashed the SDK V1.2 in AWR1642 boost, I can send the config to the board successfully. (I can only send config to my board in this vision, V2.0 and V2.1 doesn't work)


But I can't get any data in the plots page, the only thing I can do is click the button of "sensor stop",

I found a seem error in another post, but he was using his own developed board, I am using AWR1642 boost. 

Actually, I flashed other demo in labs, but none of them can upload any data.

It means the config file can be sent successfully, the demo can run, but no data upload.

Could you give me some suggestion?

  • Hi,
    As per command output screen, it doesn't show any error, so device should push out the object result data.
    You need to try different experiment to find out the cause of it.

    1. After sending the CLI command could you try to disconnect from Visualizer and connect data COM port from TeraTerm/Serial_Terminal @921600 buad rate to check if it is getting some data at that.
    2. Try sending default configuration from the Visualizer to the device.
    3. Try to flash ccsdebug.bin and then load the mmw demo application from CCS, to run the application in debug mode. Now you need to send CLI command from Visualizer. In thi case if application hits any error, CCS will print error in its console.

  • Hi,

    I used com monitor tool to check the data in USRT COM(COM3 in my computer) and DATA Port(COM4 in my computer).

    It seems there is no wrong. But I don't know what these means.

    (the file is the record of data.NO 1-61 are the data when I connect the board in Visualizer, NO 62-latest are the data when I sent config to my board)

    After successfully sent config to my board, there is no new data upload definitely.

    and I can't get the point about step 1 in your suggestion. I sent "sensorStart" in USRT COM, the USRT COM return data is"00 00 0A 6D 6D 77 44 65 6D 6F 3A 2F 3E 00", but DATA com is no data.

  • Hi Daniel,
    It's very unusual that you are able to send CLI command without any error response and not getting the data on other COM port.
    Could you try other example avaialble on TI-Rex (like SRR/MRR) which uses Auxiliary COM port to send object data? I'm suspecting if auxiliary COM port got some issue at your system, try with other PC.

  • Hi,
    I flashed the bin for debug,and debug in CCS. Then reflashed SDK bin,and solved this error.
    I think if there is some error with my data com, and debug tool fixed it.
