Original question:
I followed the steps in ppt (mmWave Sensor Raw Data Capture Using the DCA1000 Board and mmWave Studio). When I proceeded to the 'Click the SPI Connect button' step, I did not see 'SPI Disconnect',what is the reason?This is a screenshot of my current operation, and ouput.
Hello,
You will need to erase the flash before downloading the firmware. Section 4.3 (pg 26) of the mmWave SDK User Guide describes how to erase the flash.
Also, please make sure the DCA1000 is in the following configuration for the IWR1443.

after erasing the flash before downloading the firmware and makeing sure the DCA1000 is set as you said, when i click the spi connect button again, there is still no respond on the interface after a long time.mmWaveStudio just stalls after I click the button.Can you tell me why this situation happends on it.
the interface is as follows.

after loading the MSS, there is the output as above. and when cilcking the spi connect, there is no sense and the mmWaveStudio just stalls.
Hello,
Can you please send me a picture of your setup? Are your muxs and SOP jumpers set to the DCA configuration?
- Chloe
hello，my EVM is IWR1443. the following picture shows that my configuration. 
and the computer can detect the ports of DCA1000 and iwr1443, as the next picture shows.
Hello, I once meet the same quaestion as your.And my version is also the same as your.(IWR1443EVM + DCA1000EVM)
There is my solution:
(1) I refer to the "mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf".
(2) Format SFLASH
(3) Try again
set software configure
SOP0, SOP1 close
And I make it.
Hope my solution can help you.
