AWR1843BOOST: couldn't flash AWR1843 bin using uniflash

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, AWR1843

Hi,

i'm trying to flash demo bin file to AWR1843 using uniflash.

But in uniflash im com port couldn't found.

when i plug kit using USB i'm detecting two COM ports(user debug port and auxiliary port).then i selected the com port in the uniflash .what could go wrong?

Thanks,

Vimal

  • Hi Vimal,

    • Please make sure that you have set the right SOP jumper (SOP0 and SOP2) on EVM in order to put device in flashing mode. Do the power cycle after putting the jumpers then start using Uniflash.
    • Make sure the COM port number is correct in the Uniflash ‘Settings & utilities’ TAB. This COM port should be the number which is populated as a “XDS110 Class Application/User UART”.
    • Disconnect and connect the USB cable if Uniflash is not able to access the COM port.
    • Check the power supply if it is according to the spec. (5V ~3A)
    • If Uniflash was crashed or closed forcefully in last session then try to kill these processes from TaskManager – “DSLite.exe” and “Python**” and restart the Uniflash GUI. [TODO] find the 2nd process name.
    • Try different PC to use the Uniflash. (if above doesn’t resolve the issue)
    • Update to latest Uniflash version if using old version of it.

  • You need to flash the image to device then you need to use Uniflash only not CCS.

    And there is online version uniflash which you can try optionally.

    Make sure that you have followed all the required steps mentioned above.
