WEBENCH® Tools/AWR1243BOOST: Can I modify the interfaces\GPIO\OS of mmwavelink_example in mmwave_dfp_00_09_01_06 to adapt to my external host (TMS320C6678) ?

Part Number: AWR1243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6678, AWR1243

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

Dear Everyone :

I need to configurate the AWR1243 by my external host (TMS320C6678) , while the example you provided in mmwave_dfp_00_09_01_06 just adapts to windows PC . I wonder whether could  I make this example

work by modifying some codes : SPI , GPIO  and some OS-functions . Could you give me some suggestions ?  Or you have a better way ? 

Best wishes!

  • Hi user5850147, 

    One of the mmWave Link Framework design intentions is that it be portable to other OS and host processor environments. The .exe and library examples included are for a Windows OS implementation, but this is just for example purposes. 

    Have you read through the mmWave Link Framework Doxygen provided with the DFP yet? For the default windows build, Doxygen is available here: C:/ti/mmwave_dfp_<version>/ti/control/mmwavelink/docs/doxygen/html/index.html 

    From the Doxygen: 

    TI mmWaveLink Framework:

      • Is a link between application and mmwave front end.
      • Provides low level APIs to configure the front end and handles the communication with the front end.
      • Is platform and OS independent which means it can be ported into any processor which provides communication interface such as SPI and basic OS routines. The mmWaveLink framework can also run in single threaded environment
      • Is integrated into mmWave SDK and can run on R4F or DSP and communicates with mmwave front end over Mailbox interface

    Another example is the implementation of the mmWave link framework on the TDA2x ADAS host processor here: http://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-TDAX

    Thank you,
