in this page, it is impossible to select the platform as xWR14xx in the setup details.

I already installed SDK 3.3.

Hi Junyoung,

You'll want to use the previous version of the visualizer which you can find here.

Thank you so much for the information

in the link, there are 3 options of sdk version (1.2, 2.0, 2.1)

I already installed version 3.3.

Do I have to install version 2.1 again?

It still doesn't connect

Hi Junyoung,

You'll want to install the mmWave-SDK 2.1 LTS version and then flash your IWR1443BOOST with the binaries from this package. Please follow the instructions in the Lab User Guide.

Thank you for your kind reply.

I used uniflash and uploaded binary file successfully

After i pulled out SOP2 jumper, I power cycled and tried to connect to demo visualizer with xWR14xx sdk version 2.1

it says hardware connected at the bottom but the plots doesn't change at all and when i put the cursor on the link icon, it says connecting...

i am confused whether it is connected and if it is connected, i wonder why the plots doesn't work.
