DCA1000EVM: The DCA1000 Ethernet interface cannot be connected.

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443BOOST, IWR1443

I use a DCA1000+IWR1443BOOST to collect adc_data.
In the SensorConfig interface, the DCA1000 Ethernet interface cannot be connected.

I set the correct IP address and also turned off the firewall.

  • HI, 

    Your radar studio version looks old.  Can you download the newer one at: 

    http://software-dl.ti.com/ra-processors/esd/MMWAVE-STUDIO/latest/index_FDS.html

    What is your iwr1443 version?  

    Best,

    Zigang

  • The version I am using:iwr1443 es2.0.

    The mmwave studio version I am currently using matches my iwr1443.

    Is there any other reason? thank you for your reply.

  • An error occurred when clicking RF Init Done on the StaticConfig interface

  • I tried on my side with the radar studio version 01.00.00.00 and a iwr1443 ES2 board.   In device manager, do you see total 6 ports?  

  • Can you also check whether your two power supply can provide >2A power?

    Best,

    Zigang

  • Thank you for your patience.

     In device manager, i can see total 6 ports.

    and this is my power supply

    I set the 5v voltage, but the current is less than 2A.

  • I re-adjusted the power supply and solved my problem. Thank you very much!

  • Zignang,

        I had the ethernet problem too.  Both my 5V power supplies are rated to 2 amps and I just don't feel enough heat for anything more than an amp to be used by either.  When I measure my voltages, they are both above 5.0V     Could you please tell me what you did to get the ethernet connect to work?   Eric

  • Hi, Eric:

    The original user can not pass RF init stage.   If you are passing that stage, then you are having a different problem.   You should read the radar studio users guide carefully, and you still can not solve your problem.  You may start a new E2E thread.  

    Best,

    Zigang
