Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843, UNIFLASH, DCA1000EVM,
Hello,
I have the IWR6843 with EVM DCA1000 and i'm trying to run the out of box demo on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I can't see nothing in the Console Messages of the Visualizer when sending config.
I followed the following guide (Software->mmWave Sensors->Labs->Out of Box Demo-> 68xx ISK - mmWave SDK Demo) slavishly:
1. Install mmwave_sdk_03_03_00_03
2. Install Uniflash 5.1.0.2397
3. For the Visualizer, installed TI cloud agent and browser add-on both in Chrome and in Firefox
4. I also download mmWave_Demo_Visualizer (offline version)
5. Plugged in the EVM USB and confirmed dev/tty/ACM0 and dev/tty/ACM1 as UART and Data ports respectively
6. Get the bin example file from /home/monti/ti/mmwave_sdk_03_03_00_03/packages/ti/demo/xwr64xx/mmw/xwr64xx_mmw_demo.bin, plugged in SOP2 and successfully loaded the demo Image onto the EVM board (by way of manual selection/serial):
this is the log of Uniflash:

7. After that, I shutdown the device, plugged out SOP2, restarted the device and clicked NRST button.
8. I opened the mmWave Demo Visualizer, configurate serial ports as CFG_port: /dev/ttyACM0 and DATA_port: /dev/ttyACM1
9. I compiled the configutation section (like in figure), but when i clicked "SEND CONDIF TO MMWAVE DEVICE" button nothing is happening. It happens both in offline mode than through web application.
Also, I've tried the LOAD CONFIG FROM PC AND SEND with no luck either. I've tried a variety of reboots, powering down combos of the EVM, etc, with really no change. Is there other software I should have installed other than above? Any advice?
Thank you in advance
