AWR1243BOOST: NERR_OUT light always on and Failure to turn on RF-Enable in mmWave studio ver 2.1.0.0

Did this board work before?

It looks like the board is not functional

Thank you

Cesar

I see. 

BTW, I'm facing similar problems with the 2243 cascade board. 

The nerror_out led on the board lights up as soon as we load the DFP FW on to it. Do you have any insights on that?

That board appears to be working and if there is any problem(there should be that's why the LED is on), it hasn't made itself apparent yet. 

Hi,

Let's focus on the AWR1243BOOST EVM issue:

If the board is connected to DCA1000, this would mean that you see the NERR_OUT light before the firmware is loaded. Is this correct?

Do you have the right SOP configuration for the BOOST?

Thank you

Cesar

Yes, Jumpers are on SOP0 and SOP1 according to the quickstart guide

Hello Asher,

Do you see the nError after downloading the BSS and MSS firmware?

Hey, Vivek. 

Thank you for taking charge of this issue.

for 2243boost, the n_error LED gets turned on when I download the MSS.

For 2243 cascade, it turns on when I download the meta image through mmwave Studio or when I download firmware through Processor SDK radar v3.08 AFTER making it compatible with 2243 with TI's recommended modifications.

Hello Asher,

Can you share the screen shot of the mmwave connection window after you download the FW?

regards,
Vivek
