Hello there.
I am trying capture raw ADC data sampled in IWR1443BOOST using DCA1000EVM. I followed instructions found in related guides such as mmwave_studio_user_guide, DCA1000_Quick_Start_Guide, DCA1000EVM_Capture_Card, IWR1443BOOST_swru518c and was unable to capture raw ADC data via Ethernet.
I am using IWR1443BOOST RevB ES 3.0 (purchased in 2019) and mmWaveStudio v 2.1.1.; the radar works fine with mmWaveVisualizer SDK 2.1. I uploaded pictures from my set up and results; I would be more than grateful if someone could kindly take a look at them and tell me why it's not working. I also checked out other topics and used their solutions but they were to no avail.
I made sure that:
- Firewall is either disabled or mmWaveStudio and other related utilities can bypass it.
- Pin Configuration on DCA1000EVM is in correct order, either in HW_CONFIG or SW_CONFIG.
- Jumpers on IWR1443BOOST are in SOP2 Mode.
- Power supplies are both 5V,3A.
- FPGA version is 2.8 and I also tried increasing the packet delay parameter but no luck.
- SAMTEC Ribbon Cable is connected correctly and is not loose.
I start the "DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua" script and everything goes fine until the last part which is capturing data from DCA1000EVM to PC using Ethernet. Here is my log file:

No data is captured. I monitored packets that were transferred through the Ethernet port using Wireshark:
By the time that those 3 highlighted red packets appear on the screen, DATA_TRAN_PRG LED which was on before, turns off for a very brief instant and LVDS_PATH_ERR LED blinks for a an instant:
Here are my other settings and set up, I also attached the Wireshark log file.
Thank you in advance!
HI,
Can you confirm the switches setting (highlight in red circle) in the below figure?
Best,
Zigang
Hi Zigang.. Thank you for the response...
Yes.. I have tried multiple switch configurations, either in SW_CONFIG or HW_CONFIG; the results are always the same.
I do not receive any data. After about 30 secs (according to Wireshark), the DCA sends a packet to PC and DATA_TRAN_PRG LED which was on before, turns off for a very brief instant and LVDS_PATH_ERR LED blinks for a an instant:
I also captured a slow-motion footage from the behavior of LEDs when I received that packet after 30 secs. The switch in this video was set according the picture you sent:
Thank you in advance!
