AWR1843BOOST: mmwave studio: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Hongyu Chen

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST

Hi team,

I am getting the following exception on running the mmwave studio 2.0.0.2 with AWR1843Boost and DCA1000 EVM.

PC we use is Intel NUC with Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 256 SSD, and Windows 10 operating system, which meets the requirements in the mmwave studio user’s guide.

We are sure that we have installed 32-bit Matlab Runtime Engine 8.5.1, Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package and FTDI Drivers. And we have tried reinstalling it while DCA1000 board was connected to the PC, but still failed.

We tried to install mmwave studio on several computers. We found that it could work on all old computers, but would fail on PC with newly installed operating system. We have tried different versions of Windows 10 operating system. As long as the system was newly installed, mmwave studio wouldn’t work then, with the error shown in the picture above.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello ,

Did the FTDI driver installation happen successfully on the new PCs?

Hello,

Can you un install the FTDI drivers, power up the DCA1000+AWR1843boost setup , connect the Radar_FTDI USB port from DCA1000 and USB port from AWR1843BOOST evm to the PC. Install the FTDI drives again and restart the mmwave studio.

Regards,

Vivek
