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

Hi,

We are working on IWR1443 with our custom bard based on IWR1443BOOST board.

While try flashing prebuild binary through uniflash I got following error.

Power cycle done before loading images.

Interface : IWR1443 AR_RS232TX and AR_RS232RX are connected to host through USB-UART Bridge.

Uniflash 5.1.0.2

I set SOP setting to '101'

Kindly let me know if I am missing something.

    Hi,

    Can you ensure there is no other terminal connected to the COM ports? If you have another EVM, can you confirm if the issue is only on that one IWR1443BOOST?

    Hi Charles,

    Thanks for replay.

    I got resolved the issue by removing pullup in the UART line. Now I can able to flash binary 

    I Flashed binary from this path "/home/aitheon/ti/mmwave_sdk_02_01_00_04/packages/ti/demo/xwr14xx/mmw/xwr14xx_mmw_demo.bin".After successfully flash, I got config Port working by typing help I got the following output.

    Done

    After this, I run command "sensorStart" I got following output, but I didn't get any data from MSS_LOGGER, I also tried mmWave_Demo_Visualizer_Record  ver-2.0.0(Cloud tool), but still, I didn't get any data.

    mmwDemo:/>sensorStart
    Debug: Init Calibration Status = 0x11e
    Error -1
    mmwDemo:/>

    Questions:

    1. Am I using correct binary? If wrong which binary should use?

    2. Any user manual was available for that binary.

    3. How Can I use the above commands?

    Regards,

    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,

    Can you confirm the silicon version of the IC on the EVM?

    Also follow the link TIREX lab below to run the OOB demo

    Hi Charles,

    Thanks for your support

    I got it working by using Older Version of mmWave_Demo_Visualizer.
