Please make sure that you are using an ES 2.0 AWR1642 device. You can look at the device markings on the package and compare it with section 9.1 "Device Nomenclature" of the datasheet found here: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/awr1642.pdf

Make sure that you are using mmWave Studio version 2.1, the latest version available.

Please refer to the DCA1000 Quick Start Guide for instructions on how to correctly connect your DCA1000EVM to your PC found here: http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/spruik7/spruik7.pdf

XU,

You need to make sure that all six COM ports appear in the Windows Device Manager before proceeding.

Two of the COM ports are the XDS110 emulators for the AWR1642. The other four COM ports are for the DCA1000EVM.

Make sure all these ports are accounted for before continuing any further.

Regards,
Kyle

Kyle,

One of the four COM ports for DCA1000 can't be connected even I updated the FTDI driver.

I was so desperate that no matter what I did I could't connect it.

XU,

Please follow this training video for a step by step procedure on how to complete data captures using the DCA1000EVM.

You will need to update the FTDI driver for COM7. Instructions on how to do this are included in the DCA1000EVM User Guide.
