Original question:
DCA1000EVM: MSS Power Up async event was not received, cannot connect to SPI
I'm having the "MSS Power Up async event was not received" when using AWR1642 and DCA1000EVM. The DCA1000EVM works when using my AWR1443 ES:2. I've read many posts here and tried as many of the suggested solutions I could before having to ask for assistance.
I've recently started working with the AWR1642 (ES:2 / REV. B) and have not been able to get further than SPI Connect. I've tried formatting SFLASH in SOP:5 mode (0,2 jumped). I make sure after formatting SFLASH to power off and set jumpers for SOP:2 mode (0,1 jumped) before powering on and opening mmWave Studio.
I have tried BSS and MSS firmwares from:
Note, I have the dip switch #3 on the DCA1000EVM to AR1642_mode.

Thank you for your assistance,

Hello, if you take a look at my image below, you will see that the switch (S2) on the radar has been removed (along with the pads..) . This all makes sense now as to why the AWR1642BOOST (rev. B) will not connect SPI in any version of mmWave Studio. I will attempt to solder a jumper for SPI operation.
Thanks
