Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843AOP, IWR6843ISK-ODS

Hi,

I did the following preparation work:

1. Installed IWR6843AOPEVM specific sdk: 03_02_00_06_AOP;

2. Installed mmWare_Demo_Visualizer_IWR6843AOP 1.0.0

3. Setup the corresponding COM ports for CFG (Standard COM Port) and DATA (Enhanced COM Port) in the mmWave Demo Visualizer

4. Double checked IWR6843AOPEVM was set to the Standalone Mode

After clicking the connect button in the visualizer, the status bar kept showing 'waiting for data ...'

Did I miss some important steps?

Thanks.

Hi Tom,

Is it waiting to connect data port? If yes, try sending the config script and see if it is able to connect.

Thanks

Tom,

Seems you are not able to connect to CFG port itself.

Please check the trouble-shooting tips Section 4.1 @ C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_02_00_06_AOP\docs\mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf

If you do not have CCS installed try item 3 else try item 4. It should configure the drivers.

Thanks

Yogesh

Hi, Yogesh,

I got an IWR6843ISK-ODS with ES2, which could be better for expirements.

I'll try this later. Thanks anyway.
