DCA1000EVM: Unable to read FPGA version [error -2]

Joe Usoff
Prodigy 60 points
Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843, AWR2243

I am having trouble capturing data from a AWR1843 using mmWave Studio 2.1.0.0. I am following the startup guide and get to the step to set up the DCA1000 and do not get the correct FPGA version.

According to the output log shown below, the DCA1000 is not receiving UDP messages. Please help.

Joe

    Hello,

    Typically issues with ethernet communication can either be due to:

    • Use of a usb to ethernet dongle that isn't supported.
    • Firewall or security issues. Try disabling any firewall and wifi adapter.
    • Bad ethernet cable
    • IP address not setup correctly. Please refer to the mmWave Studio user's guide for required settings.

    Can you see if the above resolves your issue?

    Else please see this thread for further debug on the connection: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/p/698728/2584270#2584270

    Hi Amanda,

    I am using a Dell WD15 docking station. Can you tell me if that device is supported?

    I disabled wifi and that did not appear to help.

    The ethernet cable appears to be fine. It works with other devices.

    IP address appears to be correct.

    I can ping that address and it appears to be responding as expected.

    Hello Joe,

    - Did you mean the Dell WD15 docking station? If so, yes this should be ok since several have used it in the past without issue.

    - The issue is that the PC is not receiving any data from the 192.168.33.180 address (not an issue with the 192.168.33.30 which is used to send commands).

    - Can you try the procedure in previously linked thread to see if data is being received at 192.168.33.30 and provide the results?

    - Can you provide photo of your board setup to verify that everything is ok there?

    Hi Amanda,

    I have downloaded Wireshark and it appears to be working, but I do not have a 1 Gb switch at hand (working from home is a pain). I will see if I can track one down this afternoon.

    Photos of setup are below.

    Cheers,

    Joe

    Hi Amanda,

    I have made a few changes to my configuration (I switched to using a AWR2243 and mmWave Studio 3.0.0.7) and it appears to be working, but I still get an error when trying to configure the FPGA. There is clearly traffic over the Ethernet cable as I am getting data back.

    Cheers,

    Joe

    Hello Joe,

    This is surprising, does the data actually make sense? Looking at the output messages I'd expect that the adc_data.bin file does not contain meaningful data. What happens if you delete the adc_data.bin file and try recollecting the data?

    Hi Amanda,

    The file does appear to contain meaningful data and it was generated this morning, but now I cannot get it to produce another one. This is rather odd. I tried to attach the file but a get an error.
