Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST, IWR6843ISK, UNIFLASH, IWR6843
hi,
with customer, we are getting confidence with the mmWave technology and are facing some challenges.
We have two eval boards:
- IWR1642BOOST
- IWR6843ISK + MMWAVEICBOOST
We downloaded mmwave_sdk_03_03_00_03 SDK and tried to update the firmware on IWR68xx:
- turned off the power
- selected SOP0 and SOP2 jumpers
- checked if dip switch has proper configuration regards to user manual
- turned on the power supply (5V, 3A, Rigol DP832)
- uploaded firmware by using uniflash and C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_03_00_03\packages\ti\demo\xwr68xx\mmw\xwr68xx_mmw_demo.bin firmware. Ended with “Program Load completed successfully.”
- turned off the power supply
- removed SOP2 jumper
- turned on the power supply
At the end we tried to connect by using both offline and online mmWave Demo GUI v 3.3.
The console is empty even after few ‘send config’ button clicks (while com ports was properly detected).
After a lot of experiments we discovered that the board works perfectly when using IWR64xx in version 3.2 firmware (on IWR68xx board).
The IWR64xx 3.3, IWR68xx 3.2 and IWR68 xx 3.3 firmware don’t work (while COM ports are properly detected but we not able to send configuration – console window is clear).
Similar story with IWR1642BOOST: we are able to upload firmware but in this case none of them works.
any suggestion?
thansk a lot in advance
