TDA3: DFP1.2 migration for Radar SDK 3.04

Expert 7150 points

Part Number: TDA3

Hi Experts,

My customer has been develping radar system with Radar SDK 3.04. They are building their board with AWR1243 ES3.0. So they need to migrate DFP from 1.1 (mmwave_dfp_01_01_00_00) to 1.2 (mmwave_dfp_01_02_00_00) for AWR1243 ES3.0. Please guide us so that they can migrate DFP to 1.2.

Best regards,
Ken

  • Hi,
    Radar SDK 3.6 is available which supports AWR1243 ES2 and ES3.0 based on device version, I would recommend either move to this version or take changes from this versio to your existing 3.04 SDK version.
    software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

    For the AWR1243 ES2.0 to ES3.0 main different is file format which downloads over SPI to device from TDA3x. In ES2.0 it was two seperate files (MSS and BSS firmware) whereas in ES3.0 it is now single file (MetaImage: containing both MSS and BSS in it).

  • Hi jitendra,

    Since our modifications are huge, we prefer to take DFP related changes from 3.06 to 3.04. Can you please let us know which folder/files we should change?

    Best regards,
    Ken
  • Ken,

    You should focus on ti_components\radar\mmwave_dfp_XXXXXX and PROCESSOR_SDK_RADAR_XX\ti_components\drivers\pdk_XX\packages\ti\drv\vps\src\devices\radar_ar12xx
    D:\PROCESSOR_SDK_RADAR_XX\ti_components\drivers\pdk_XX\packages\ti\drv\vps\include\devices\bsp_ar12xx.h

    Once you build the code, you can see if there are any build issues with any parameters which have changed between 3.04 and 3.06

    Thanks and Regards,
