CCS/AWR1642BOOST: AWR1642 Customize board- Problem in flashing binary file and connecting device

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, , UNIFLASH, TMDSEMU110-U

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello Team,

I have design own Customize board for AWR1642 device. Overall design is same as AWR1642BOOST EVM, only 60 pin HD, 2 number of 20 pin connector and on board XDS110 emulator section is removed, rest all schematic and antenna design is same as EVM board. 

Electrical testing wise the board is OK, all regulator output are showing required voltages.

But while debugging, when trying to connect the device, following error is occurring –

I have also tried to flash the CCS bin file with UNIFLASH. But it is showing the following error –

 

I am using external XDS110 emulator probe for flashing, specs are as follows-

  1. Product – TMDSEMU110-U
  2. Serial – 5471400742
  3. 518155-0001R Rev. A

 

XDS110 to AWR1642 customize board connections as follows-

  • Hello team,

    Waiting for the solution, I have tried all the possibilities but failed to flash the .bin file using UNIFLASH. 

    can we flash the binary using CCS?

    expecting solution as early as possible. 

    Regards,

    Sonal Chavhan. 

  • Hi Sonal,

    Based on those snapshot looks like the device somehow is not powered on properly. It may be due to the wrong SOP setting before nReset is released.

    1. Check that SOP (SOP0, SOP1 and SOP2 : [1 0 0]) are set in functional mode before PMIC takes nReset to power on the device. -> For CCS connection R4F0 core.

    2. PMIC must release reset of device only after all the power rails are stable.

    3. Next if SOP settings are rightly done then check for QSPI clock line, as in SOP-4 functional mode device bootloader acess the sFlash over QSPI to look and load application binary.

    4. Check the nError line during this experiment. This pin notifies the device HW error (if high).

    5. For Uniflash use, you need to set device in flashing mode (SOP setting 1 0 1) then power on the device.

    Make sure that this XDS110 emulator supports UART-to-USB interface only then Uniflash will able to access to device over UART in flashing mode.

  • Hello Sir,

    Thanks for your reply!

    Observation results as follows-

    1. Yes, SOP (SOP0, SOP1 and SOP2 : [1 0 0]) are set in functional mode only before PMIC takes nReset to power on the device.

    2. Observed waveform on PMIC RESET signal as follows-

    3. SOP Setting - 100 (Functional mode), Observed waveform on QSPI Clock signal as follows-

    4. Observed waveform on nError line as follows- (Voltage on line= 3V)

    4. SOP Settings before launching UNIFLASH - 101, but still error occurs which I have post already.

    5. As I have already mentioned, I am using external XDS110 emulator probe for flashing, specs are as follows-

    1. Product – TMDSEMU110-U
    2. Serial – 5471400742
    3. 518155-0001R Rev. A

      search result shows it supports UART-USB interface. 

    please let me know the solution as soon as possible. consider it as high priority.

    Sonal Chavhan. 

  • Hi Sonal,

    We are checking this issue offline. So let's pause this thread here.
