MMWAVE-STUDIO: SPI connection failed on mmWave studio

Jimmy Zhang
Prodigy 240 points
Part Number: MMWAVE-STUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843BOOST, DCA1000EVM

Hi,

I get some SPI connection problems on mmWave studio and the devices that I'm using are  AWR1843Boost Rev. B and DCA1000EVM.

The device status and error messages are shown below:

Thus, I'd like to know that is anything else needed to be set up? 

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,

Jimmy

    Hi, Zigang,

    In the picture above, the error shows up after I click the button---"SPI Connection(5)".

    And I've also checked my switch setting. It's equivalent to SOP jumper [SOP0: ON, SOP1: ON, SOP2: OFF].

    Does anything else have to be done?

    Best Regards,

    Jimmy

    Hi, Jimmy:

    I have attached my picture for your to check with yours.

    You should see 6 ports in your device manager.  And here also attached the picture of the setup.

    Best,

    Hi, Zigang,

    Thank you very much.

    I could connect SPI now.

    But when I run DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua, I get the error message:

    Hi, Jimmy:

    It looks like your PC is not ready for Ethernet data transfer.    Can you check:

    1) Did you connect the ethernet cable on both side?

    2) Did you program the static IP address in the PC local area network property.

    Please go through the document: C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_00_00\docs\DCA1000_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf

    Hi Zigang,

    Thank you for your speedy reply.

    I've solved the problem.

    The ports 4096 and 4098 need to be added to the firewall whitelist.

    Best Regards,

    Jimmy
