AWR1642BOOST-ODS: Output data format of AWR1642BOOST-ODS mmWave radar

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST-ODS

Hii,

I am working of mmWave AWR1642BOOST-ODS radar. I want to know AWR1642BOOST-ODS mmWave Radar output data & header format details. 

How can I get these details?

Also If I am using another CCS project like Short-range radar project then, will it differ in the data format of xwr16xx demo project and data format for Short-range radar project from automotive tools?

If yes, how can I get the data format details of the short-range radar project for data transmission?

I want to use output data of AWR1642BOOST-ODS in my project, that's why I needed to know the output data format. 

Thanks & Regards,

Harish

    Hi,

    All the data formats are provided in the respective lab documentation except for SRR. Unfortunately for, this lab the data format is not documented.

    You would need to look at the following:

    In the file:

    mmwave_automotive_toolbox\labs\lab0002_short_range_radar\src\dss\dss_main.c

    SRR_DSS_SendProcessOutputToMSS()

    This function implements the buffers sent to the host.

    For VOD, the data format is documented in the demo UG:

    mmwave_automotive_toolbox\labs\lab0003_occupancy_detection\docs\ODdemo_usersguide.pdf

    See "Data Packet Format" Section

    thank you

    Hi Cesar,

    I saved UART output data of AWR1642BOOST-ODS in hex file using the Record button on mmWave demo visualizer.

    Somehow, we manage to extract information from the output data of AWR1642BOST-ODS with short-range radar package. And this output is as follows:

    We found the above data meaning from obstacle detection project's user guide and Data over CAN project's guide.


    from highlighted text(in red color) in above data, we didn't able to understand meaning of next data bytes.
    Kindly help to understand the data format?

    Thanks & Regards,

    Harish

    The data for a frame starts with the magic number.

    After that the data packets are as implemented in the code.

    Thank you

    Hi Cesar,

    I have seen dss_main.c file for output data format. And also gone through the C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_02_00_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw\docs\doxygen\html\index.html for output data format.

    But still, it's not getting clarity in exactly what is next hex data format mean? Please provide some hint or exactly how I can find next byte meaning.

    Until now I found output data format as below.

    I don't understand this question.  Assuming you understand hex data, I guess there is something about the packet format that you don't understand.

    All mmWave demos use the TLV (type-length-value) packet format, but some demos vary a little bit in structure definitions from what the "mmw" (out-of-box) demo uses. And some demos have special output types not contained in any other demo.  So an output parser for one demo may not work for another demo. But every demo should document its packet format fully (it seems SRR is the exception).  For the mmw demo structures, search the .html document for "Output information sent to the host".  All the details you will need are there - the packet structures, sizes and contents.  Otherwise, as Cesar mentioned, you will need to look at the output data structures defined in the target code. This will always be the most exact description of the packet header, TLV header and payload types.
