AWR2243BOOST: mmwavelink_example.exe with DCA1000EVM and AWR2243BOOST

Hi Cesar,

I have the same error with studio_cli

Thank you,

Stéphane

Hi,

Maybe the problem is related with the port.  When I try to run a format with UniFlash, the progress bar is not moving.

What confuses me is that mmWave Studio is working well.

Thanks,

Stéphane

Kyle,

I have reboot multiple times my computer and I also try with another. I still have the same problem.

However I able to upload the firmware with mmWaveStudio. Do I really need to do it with UniFlash?

My goal is still to be able to capture data without mmWaveStudio. Unfortunately,  I still stuck with the "mmWave Device Power on failed for deviceMap 1 with error -8" error with studio_cli.

I have also debug mmwave_studio_cli with Visual Studio,  the error code "-8" come from the timeout.

File: mmw_spi_comm.c

int MMWL_powerOnMaster(unsigned char deviceMap, int deviceType)
{
....
    retVal = rlDevicePowerOn(deviceMap, *clientCtx);

    /*  \subsection     porting_step9     step 9 - Test if porting is successful
    Once configuration is complete and mmWave device is powered On, mmWaveLink driver receives
    asynchronous event from mmWave device and notifies application using
    asynchronous event callback.
    Note: In case of AWR2243 ES1.0, Host needs to wait for MSS CPU Fault as well, with current 
    ROM version this MSS CPU fault async-event sent by AWR device which Host needs to ignore.

    Refer to \ref MMWL_asyncEventHandler for event details
    */

    retVal = 0;
    while ((mmwl_bInitComp == 0U) || (mmwl_bMssCpuFault == 0))
    {
        osiSleep(1); //Sleep 1 msec
        timeOutCnt++;
        if (timeOutCnt > MMWL_API_INIT_TIMEOUT)
        {
            retVal = RL_RET_CODE_RESP_TIMEOUT;
            break;
        }
    }
...
    return retVal;
}

This issue is a major roadblock for me. I am stuck here. Hoping to hear a concrete solution from your side.

Thank you,

Stéphane

Hi Kyle,

Yes, my jumpers are placed on SOP0 and SOP1 (Dev mode) and the S1 switch is set to SPI.

If the AWR2243BOOST and the DCA1000EVM were incorrectly connected/configured, the data captured with "mmWave Studio GUI" would not work. But as I said in my first post, I am able to capture data with mmWaveStudio and to visualize the data with PostProc.

I'm still having the error with "mmwave_studio_cli.exe" or "mmwavelink_example.exe".   

Should I set the jumpers in functional mode?

Thank you,

Stéphane
