Can't launch 1642 and no points in Visualizer #2

I got both AWR1642BOOST and AWR1443BOOST recently and I followed the file to launch them. For both of them, I got the same error messages as following file. error_message.txt So I tried to use mmWave Demo Visualizer to visualize my sensor data, while I successfully upload the config to the sensor (as figure below, using 1642), I changed to Plots panel but nothing shows in the grid. image image

I have tried SDK version 1.2, 2.0 and 2.1 but all failed, are my sensors broken or anything ran wrong?

This repo was just for our internal research projects and is not backed or linked at all to official TI repositories. This will probably not work on other SDK versions or board revisions than the one we used.

The chirp configuration files that are included with the repo in the cfg folder are made for mmWave SDK version 1.1. You will need to match the version number in these files with the version of the SDK on your radar sensor. Either flash your radar sensor with the old version of the SDK, or update these files using the mmWave Demo Visualizer. Make sure that you are outputting a scatter plot. Also note that you will need to manually disable range/doppler grouping if you don't want those features.
