AWR1243: Not able to connect with the TDA board

Part Number: AWR1243

Hi,

 I have AWR1243P cascade eval board connected to TDAxx capture card. I tried to follow the "mmwave_studio_cascade_user_guide.pdf".

what I am done so far: 

- Flashing the TDA Firmware

- Booting the EVM

-Formatting the SSD

-Run the following command to confirm if the formatting operations is successful or not. It should show an entry named “/dev/nvme0n1p1” (as shown below) in case of successful formatting.

- Then I tried to configure the TDA using mmwaveStudio :

the issue is , I cant connect to the TDA board by clicking the "connect and configure" bottom

I used teraterm to check the network using ifconfig command:

I am not sure if I missed any steps to make a proper connection or not.

Please advice regarding this issue.

Thanks

Amin

    Thanks for help

  • Hello Amin,

    Did you try to some troubleshooting options given in Section 13 of the mmwave studio cascade user guide? The first part of the section talks about your issue. 

    Let us know if you're still not able to connect to the TDA.

  • Thanks Ishita, 

    I tried to do the steps given in section 13:

    13. Troubleshooting: Not able to connect TDA2XX from mmWaveStudio over the network
    a. Check the Ethernet cable connection, LED status on TDA2xx Ethernet port connection. Confirmed
    b. Ensure the PC IP address to be the same as mentioned in the Section 7.3.1. confirmed
     Try to ping TDA2XX IP address from PC to verify if the network connection is proper. confirmed

    c. Check the terminal screen if it had any error message while booting up.

    These are the errors I am getting by rebooting the board

     If yes, then try to reboot. , I did but getting the same errors

     Flash the SD card again if the error persists., I did but getting the same error
    d. At the terminal screen, check if apps.out process is running with the command
    ‘ps | grep ‘apps.out’’
    apps.out is the application running on TDA2XX which establishes network connection with mmWaveStudio.
     Ideally this application should run automatically on boot up. If not, then run it manually. Refer Section 10.4 on how to run it manually.

    I tried to run manually , but I couldn't connect to the board via VinSCP


    e. Restart the TDA2XX board if none of above solution works. I did, it didnt help

  • Hello Amin,

    If you're not able to use WinSCP, you could do the same thing using serial term application i.e Teraterm as well. Navigate to the same directory using the below command 

    "cd /opt/vision_sdk" after logging in with "root" as the user name and open the script in the vi editor. Once you're able to open the concerned script, you can make the necessary edits as suggested in the user guide and proceed further with the instructions.

    Let me know if you need any clarifications here.

    Regards,

  • Thanks Ishita, the problem is fixed.
