IWR1642BOOST: Not able to connect to DATA port.

Sam McWhorter

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

I am following the instructions in the PDF on how to get the demo running from the SDK 1.2v. I have read online and done all the necessary steps, but for whatever reason I am not able to connect to the data port. I have confirmed using Device Manager that COM5 is the data port, but the mmWave Demo Visualizer tells me it is "waiting for data ..." and "connecting". It can't connect to COM5, anyone have any ideas why?

I'm also not getting any messages in the console messages area.

I have also removed the pin from SOP 2.

The first run of the online visualizer the data port will not show as connected since it hasn't received data yet. As long as the cfg port is connected can you go ahead and send the chirp configuration? Assuming the correct cfg port is selected you should then see that plots update with the incoming data and the status indicator at the bottom will show both as being connected.

Thank you for your advice! You solved my problem. I just needed to run it correctly. Also, it's worth mentioning that I had to use the SDK 2.0 version for it to work.
