Hello User,

For downloading the Firmware in SOP2 mode, you need an active RS232 connection. As I can see from your output log, you're getting the following error:

[14:59:22] [RadarAPI]: ar1.Connect(5,115200,1000)

[14:59:24] [RadarAPI]: Error: Connection failed: Calling_ConnectTarget returned 3

Please check if you're using the correct COM port number. Refer to "mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf" to understand the steps for this connection.

Also, this issue has been addressed by our experts in the past, please look for some similar threads. Just type the following in your search engine:

"site e2e.ti.com rs232 connection failed ConnectTarget returned 3"

This will return some already resolved threads on the forum.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Ishita

The problem has been resolved.
However, a new problem arose.

Hello User,

If you notice the MSS Firmware version in mmWave studio, it is 0.0.0.0, which means there was some problem in loading the firmware and hence you're getting response timeout error. Please clear the flash contents once and try again.

Regards,

Ishita

How can I clear the contents of the flash?
Would you like to use UniFlash?
