AWR1243: Technical Reference Manual

Hi RJ,

AWR1243 is smart sensor device that can be configured and controlled by external host over SPI interface via API calls.

These API calls are covered in "AWR1xx_Radar_Interface_Control" available in  mmWave Device Firmware Package (DFP).

 

As such there is no application programmable core or peripherals that needs a programming view that is typically covered in Technical Reference Manual.

The following offerings cover the Device Usage/Interaction/Control view:

Device Data Sheet : AWR1243 Single-Chip 77- and 79-GHz FMCW Transceiver

Control/Configuration API details: mmWave Device Firmware Package (DFP).

mmWave API code for external host :  mmWave Software Development Kit (SDK)

Sensor configuration and Data path configurations are covered in following documents:

Programming Chirp Parameters in TI Radar Devices

AWR1xxx Data Path Programmer’s Guide

Device AWR1243 has CSI interface available for getting Raw ADC data from Sensor, while AWR1443 does not have that option.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have more questions.

Thank you,

Vaibhav

Hello RJ,
Since AWR1243 is a closed front end only device there are no programmable peripherals etc. All the controls available to the external host are via the APIs which are provided in the mmWave Device Firmware Package (DFP) as indicated by Vaibhav.
