The idea is to use our Custom 1843 board to work with VitalSignsRadar_demo.exe PC application. The Custom board is nothing but a custom layout with exact schematic. I have changed code, compiled and loaded onto the Custom board and verified to some effect it works (i.e. CLI configuration using PC application, start/stop data on data port etc).
When working with the AWRxxxxBOOST eval board the PC application communicates with the XDS110 debugger populated as a part of the EVAL, instead, I am using a XDS110 debugger. I have the AUX.FUNCTIONS Txd and Rxd connected to the AWR1843 Custom for CLI and have verified that it works correctly.
To get data from the Custom board, I have the Tx data wired to the EXPANSION port Pin 17 of the XDS110 debugger. I have verified data using scope, however, it does not make it to the PC application.
To verify if this scheme works correctly:
I programmed the AWR1843 with TI provided demo .bin and run Visualizer app on PC, In this PC app, I could change the Data port configuration to use a secondary FTDI port/cable for receiving data and it worked correctly. However, the Vital Signs Demo does not allow this feature, so I have to get the Data port/PC4 on external debugger TM4C going.
Kindly advise.
