AWR1443BOOST: SPI disconnection error when run mmWave Studio 2.1.0 on AWR1443BOOST + AR1XXXEVM

Part Number: AWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM, MMWAVE-STUDIO

i follow the quick start (https://www.ti.com/lit/ml/spruik7/spruik7.pdf?ts=1600962267778&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Ftool%252FMMWAVE-STUDIO). to run demo code on  mmWave Studio 2.1.0 on AWR1443BOOST +AR1xxxEVM.

Everything looks right except the  `SPI disconnection error` and I cannot pass through.  Anyone can help to check? Thanks.

    Hi,

    I don't think the SOP jumpers are correct.

    Could you please try the following to set a jumper on SOP0 and SOP1?

    thank you

    Thanks,

    I think it did solve part of my problem.  Now I face the same issue at (https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/p/943887/3486944#3486944

    Hi Cesar,

    I set the jumper as you told, and FTDI is successfully installed, while the SPI disconnection error still there, Could you check on this again?

    Best.

    1. jumper SOP 00 and 01 connected

    ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

    2. FTDI successfully installed, we can see 'AR_DevPack_EVM' show up, note the Unknown device show both before and after I connect the USB and I think it is not our focus.

    after connect USB cable

     

     


     

     

    Let me know if you find anything wrong and have  a idea

    Best.

    Jianyuan,

    So you are using the MMWAVE-DEVPACK with your AWR1443BOOST EVM. The steps when using this combination of devices is slightly different than the typical use case, which is a DCA1000EVM paired with one of the mmWave EVMs.

    Please review the User Guide for the MMWAVE-DEVPACK, which you can find here: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru506/swru506.pdf 

    In particular, please review section 2.6 "Jumpers and LEDs". You may need to change the jumper positions for JP1, JP2, JP3, and JP4.

    Also, you need to change the capture device in mmWave Studio from DCA1000 to TSW1400 since you are using the MMWAVE-DEVPACK. Even though you are not using the TSW1400, you still need to make this change.

    You should then specify the SOP Mode  as Mode 2 (Development).

    Regards,
    Kyle

    hi Kyle,

    thanks for your kind reply.

    Now the 'SPI disconnection' error has been fixed, but it cannot go through the final step  (step 6 RF-power up), the output error is

    ```

    [16:36:06]  Status: Failed, Error Type: RESP TIMEOUT
    [16:36:10]  BSS Power Up async event was not received!

    ```

    Could you help check on that.

    Best

    Jet

    Appendix:

    1. 'SPI connected', have go to final step (step 6 power-RF up)

    ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

    2. step 6 error output

    *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

    3. the hardware line-up: I jumper connect SOP0 and SOP1, and jumper connect the JP1-4 to FTDI


    *****************************************************************************************************************************************

    Also,  (1). does the Mode2 ( development) mean jumper connect SOP0 and SOP1 ? (b) my GUI (mmWave Studio 2.1.0) does not show TSW1400 option.

    Jianyuan,

    Based on the information provided by mmWave Studio, it appears that you have an ES2.0 revision of the AWR1443BOOST EVM. This is not compatible with mmWave Studio v2.1.0. You will need to use an earlier version of mmWave Studio.

    This is the version of mmWave Studio compatible with your device: https://software-dl.ti.com/ra-processors/esd/MMWAVE-STUDIO/01_00_00_00/index_FDS.html. You will need to use the device firmware found in this installation.

    Additionally, the TSW1400 option is found by moving the sliding bar to the left to see the left panel of mmWave Studio. I have provided a reference below:

    Regards,
