CCS/AWR2243BOOST: Single Chip example design: mmWave Device Power on failed for deviceMap 1 with error -8

Part Number: AWR2243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2243, , DCA1000EVM

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello 

I am using the awr2243 boost evm. I am attempting to use the executable file created by compiling the visual studios project in the C:\ti\mmwave_dfp_02_01_05_03\ti\example\mmWaveLink_SingleChip_Example. When i do this and have the evm connected as explained in the procedure i get the error :mmWave Device Power on failed for deviceMap 1 with error -8. what causes this and how to i correct the error to move forward. 

Thank you in advance

    Hi,

    We have to check with the developer of this example.

    In the mean time can you please review the error code?

    Thank you

    Hello Glen,

    Could you try to manually reset the device (press nRST switch on EVM) just before starting this application?

    hello 

    thank you for the responses. i have tried your suggestion of manually resetting the board just before the application is started, however the results are the same. where is this error code coming from? i cannot seem to find it in the source c files.

    thank you again

    Hello Glen,

    Application resets the mmwave sensor and wait for Power On async-event message over SPI. As per error code, looks like it didn't get this async-event message within timeout.

    Make sure that you have connected AWR2243BOOST with either DevPack or DCA1000EVM board for this experiment. As SPI interface is available on DevPack/DCA1000 over which AWR2243 send/receive the response/command.

    And if this board is stacked with AWR2243BOOST then try with mmwave studio to verify all the connection.

    I took a break from this project but am back at it now. I am still having this same issue. I have went back and tried the mmwave gui and the board functions properly using the gui, but the exe application still fails on the power up with the same -8 error code. The awr2243 is connected to the DCA1000 and has the ribbon cable connecting them and all necessary usb's and ethernet cable connected to the host pc. Any other suggestions to make this example application execute properly?

    Thank you

    Hello Desi,

    Somehow exe application is not able to reset the board (which further generates the powerup async-event).

    Do you see Red LED (NRST_OUT) on AWR2243BOOST blinked when you execute the application?

    If not then try pushing the NRST switch button on the board and immediately execute the application.

     

    Thanks,
