IWR1642BOOST: IWR1642BOOST Warning:Unsuccessful read

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, IWR6843, IWR1642

Hello,

I have IWR1642BOOST evaluation module from TI and trying to run "people counting lab"  which is available on mmWave Industrial Toolbox 4.1.0.
For this purpose,
1) I set the device to flashing mode (SOP[2:0]=101) and program it using xwr16xx_pcount_lab.bin file via Uniflash software.
2) I set the device to functional mode (SOP[2:0]=001) and run pplcount_gui.exe file
3) I choose the pins, click the connect button, and check the connection is successful. 
4) Then I start the device and get the error messages as below;
Warning: Unexpected Warning: A timeout occured before the Terminator was reached.
Warning: Unsuccessful read: The specified amount of data was not returned within the Timeout period.
In order to solve the problem, I check the following steps;
i) Is the ".bin" file loaded correctly?
ii) Are SOP connections correct?
iii) Are right COM ports chosen? Does any other software use same COM ports, etc?
All steps above are successfully performed. However, I can not manage to operate the  device correctly. I need your help to get rid of this problem.
Thank you in advance.
  • Hi Melek,

    It appears you are using code/gui from the IWR6843 version of the People Counting lab but you are using the IWR1642BOOST board. Please make sure you have flashed your board with the IWR1642 binaries and are using the gui from the IWR1642 version of the lab.

    Please note that this demo has been updated recently and is highly recommended for the IWR6843 platform. The IWR1642BOOST version will not be included in future Toolbox releases.

    Let me know if you have more questions!

    Cheers,
