Original question:

DCA1000EVM: AWR1642: mmwave studio : FPGA version is 0.0.0.0 , Data capture issues, adc_data.bin file is empty

DCA1000EVM: Timeout Error! Unable to read FPGA Version. [error -5], the number of files captured is zero!

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642,

Hi TI Experts

Based on the recommendation given in our earlier thread https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/936514, we purchased a new AWR1642 EVM.

We used our DCA1000 EVM with the new AWR1642BOOST ES2.0  version and the latest mmwave Studio v 2.1.1.0 running on Window 10. We successfully reflashed the DCA1000 with the latest FPGA version 2.8 and followed the same steps when connecting both the DCA1000 and the new AWR1642 EVM to capture the raw ADC data.

Unfortunately, we still have the same problem, the FPGA version is still not identified. In addition, after running the DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua, we got the following error messages.

“Timeout Error! System disconnected”

“Unable to read FPGA Version. [error -5]”

“Error: The number of files captured is zero”

This shows that our problem is not with the AWR1642 EVM. The problem seems to be on DCA side failing to communicate with fpga and reading its version! Does this mean that our DCA1000 is defective? Please advise.

I am also attaching the detailed log file, so you can help us figure out what’s wrong and how to resolve this issue, and a snapshot of the ethernet connection status while running the demo which confirms that there is no issue with the ethernet connection and data transfer.

We ran out of ideas on how to resolve this problem and we appreciate your help regarding that matter.

Thank you

    Lincoln,

    Please make sure that you configure the IP address for your Ethernet adapter on your PC, hardcoding the address where the DCA1000EVM sends the output.

    The recommendation is to use the Ethernet adapter on the PC. Avoid using a USB to Ethernet adapter.

    I would also suggest trying to use different USB cables and Ethernet cables. Make sure you are connecting the USB cable on the DCA1000EVM to the "RADAR_FTDI" port.

    Regards,
    Kyle

    Hi Kyle,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Regarding the IP address we already configured the IP address correctly in the PC local area network properties TCP/IPv4 and we always connect the DCA1000 USB cable to the Radar_FTDI port when we try to capture data.

    Per your recommendation, we used different USB and Ethernet cables and connected the Ethernet cable directly to the PC but unfortunately this didn't resolve the issue and it gave the same "error unable to read the FPGA version and empty data files". In addition, when checking the ethernet status no data was even received (please see attached image) compared to using the USB Ethernet adapter where we could see some data transfer in the ethernet connection status shown previously in the beginning of this post. The log file is also attached for the demo run using direct ethernet connection between the DCA1000 and PC. Waiting for your feedback and advice. 

    Thank you

    Lincoln,

    Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the status of your DCA1000EVM and whether it is defective or not. I only have the one image provided in your previous post to go off and it does not provide any indication to your DCA1000EVM is defective.

    At this point, all I can suggest is that you review the DCA1000EVM Debug Handbook. The log file you provides no new information given the fact that you are simply running the Capture Demo script, which has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it works across all of our devices.

    It is rather strange that your PC's Ethernet adapter only shows a connection speed of 100 Mbps, which indicates there may be an issue with your PC and not the DCA1000EVM.

    Regards,
    Kyle

    Hi Kyle,

    Thank you for your help and suggestions  we appreciate it.

    After many trials with the direct ethernet connection with no luck,  we reconnected the ethernet cable using the USB adaptor again and  went through the same steps and somehow we were able to read the fbga version finally and ran the demo. We then tried to go back to direct connection again and still did not work , so we will try to run more experiments to capture raw data using the USB adaptor.

    Regarding the direct ethernet connection when you said there may be an issue with our PC , do you mean configuration issues or hardware issues? can you please advice ?

    we will also review the DCA1000 debug handbook as you suggested.

    Thank you

    Hi Kyle,
    Still doing some work on this. Should have the answer by Friday.

    Lincoln,

    Good to hear you are getting your setup to work with the USB-Ethernet adapter! I will look out for your response later this week.

    Regards,

    Hi Kyle,

    We tried to run some experiments using the USB ethernet adapter and we were able to capture .bin files. I guess we will continue using the USB adapter for now  since the direct connection is not working for us. This is the max speed that we can get ( 100 Mbps ) which seems to be an issue during the data transfer from the DCA to our PC.  

    Thank you
