  • HI Sreenath,

    Here are the precautionary steps for flashing the image to the device using Uniflash.

    1. Please make sure that you have set the right SOP jumper (SOP0 and SOP2) on EVM in order to put device in flashing mode. Do the power cycle after putting the jumpers then start using Uniflash.
    2. Make sure the COM port number is correct in the Uniflash ‘Settings & utilities’ TAB. This COM port should be the number which is populated as a “XDS110 Class Application/User UART”.
    3. Disconnect and connect the USB cable if Uniflash is not able to access the COM port.
    4. Check the power supply if it is according to the spec. (5V ~3A)
    5. If Uniflash was crashed or closed forcefully in last session then try to close these processes from TaskManager – “DSLite.exe” and “Python**” and restart the Uniflash GUI.
    6. Try a different PC to use the Uniflash. (if above doesn’t resolve the issue)

  • hi

    I tried using another pc and it worked. 

    I tried loading the srr demo into the awr 1642  EVM and it is successfully flashed but when i opened it on demo visualizer , the port configurations was correct and the hardware was connected but when i clicked the send config to mmwave option its is not responding and is not showing any console messages and no plots at all. The same problem was present before the flashing of srr demo. can you help me resolve this issue

  • Hi Sreenath,

    Could you confirm the statement 'another PC and it worked'? Does it mean on another PC you are able to run end to end application?

    And while running SRR demo you need to use srr_visualizer.exe (gui directory) which comes along with the SRR demo. I suspect you are using browser based mmw demo visualizer.

  • Hi,

    I used  the SRR visualizer.exe , and when i tried to connect the uniflash in another laptop it worked perfectly.
