Part Number:AWR1243
Hello,
I have built a customized cascaded board using three XIWR1243P chip. I am trying to use Uniflash (ver 4.3.0.1802) to flash the firmware into these devices through FTDI USB to UART chip. In Uniflash, I didn't find any '1243P' defined in the board list. When I proceed ahead by selecting AWR1243, IWR1243 or AWR1243 Boost, I get the following log error:

I tried flashing the same firmware to a AWR1243 Boost EVM board and it flashes successfully. Could you tell me what the error could be? Do you spot any mistake through the above error log? The Hardware is set to correct SOP setting, so that shouldn't be an issue here. Is there any other way to flash firmware into it?
I look forward to your reply. Thank you!
Best Regards,
