AWR2243BOOST: How to setup AWR2243Boost EVM with updated binary

Part Number: AWR2243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2243, , UNIFLASH

Hi 

I could not find out exact instruction to setup AWR2243 firmware.

Customer trying to setup AWR2243 and DCA1000 EVM.

They setup AWR2243Boost EVM' Flash Mode according to EVM user guide. (SOP[2:0] = 101) 

  • Device: AWR2243BOOST Rev B
  • Serial Number: R1041051

and erased flashed binary which is pre-flashed from factory release.

it works from time to time with UniFlash Cloud version. Not work with PC version. The cloud version is able to detect the H/W info even PC version can not detect almost.

For the Next Step, they tried to program with prebuilt binary of mmwave_dfp_02_02_02_01. (C:\ti\mmwave_dfp_02_02_02_01)

They selected two Meta images for RadarSS and MSS with xwr2xxx_radarrss_rprc.bin and xwr22xx_mss_rprc.bin, then pressed "Load image" button after Power cycle.(unplug PWR cable, then plug again, sometimes presses NRST button too)

Before start Load Image, the serial COM port was properly selected. i.g. COM10 for XDS110 Ckass Application/User UART(COM10). Also selected the check box for Remain Connected after operartions on Cortex_R4_0 menu on the right above side.

After procedures above mention, Uniflash seem trying to initialize communication btw PC and EVM, But It could not success at all. 

Could you please clarify how to setup AWR2243Boost EVM with updated demo binary as a first stage? There're no prebuilt binary for AWR2243 in mmwave sdk latest release.

 If AWR2243Boost Setup is cleared, We can go further topic about DCA1000 EVM connection with AWR2243 Boost board.

 

The below figure is shown usually when failed image uploading on UniFlash.

Thanks.

Regards,
