AWR1443BOOST: Issue With Capturing Raw Radar Data Using TSW1400

Bryan B
Prodigy 50 points
Part Number: AWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1443, , AWR1642

I'm performing some Radar Studio evaluation with the AWR1443 -> mmWave DevPack -> TSW1400 hardware chain and have gotten to the point where I am able to fully configure the system.  However, I can’t get the system to collect any data.  When I click the “Trigger Frame” button, I can hear the radar chirping, but I get this in the console output window:

[16:22:52]  [RadarAPI]: ar1.StartFrame()

[16:22:52]  [RadarAPI]: Status: Passed

[16:22:52]  [RadarAPI]: Frame trigger async event received!

[16:22:53]  [RadarAPI]: Frame Ended

[16:22:57]  [RadarAPI]: MatlabProc Status: Error Type: No Data was collected. Please check.

[16:22:57]  [RadarAPI]: TSW1400 capture complete

I’ve Googled that error message, but I get no meaningful results.  When I go to look at the generated data file in Windows Explorer, it reads as being 0kB in size.  If I try to click the “PostProc” button anyway, I get a lengthy stack trace from Matlab, indicating that the ADC data file is empty:

[16:26:13]  [RadarAPI]: ar1.StartMatlabPostProc("C:\\ti\\mmwave_dfp_00_07_00_04\\rf_eval\\radarstudio\\PostProc\\adc_data.bin")

I've configured the system according to the tutorial document "mmWave Sensor Raw Data Capture Using the TSW1400 Board" and have made sure to satisfy all software dependencies.  I'm also using ES2 silicon with the 7.00.04 version of the DFP.  Is there some aspect of setup that I've missed?

    Hi Bryan,

    I think you are nearly there. Can you check if any of the following steps help?

    1. You need to press 'Setup TSW1400' once you've fully configured the profile, chirps, and frame. This step instructs the HSDCPro software to configure the capture card to capture the total number of samples corresponding to the configuration..
    1. From the moment you press 'Arm', the capture board will wait for a maximum of 10 seconds for data to arrive from the radar device. In that duration, the entire transmission must be completed. In other words, you must click the 'Trigger Frame', and all the frames that you've configured should be transmitted within that 10 seconds. Also, note that unless the TSW1400 gets the all the frames that you've configured, it will not capture any data.
    2. TSW1400 needs to capture a minimum of 4096 samples per channel. The default configuration meets this requirement.

    Regards,
    Anil

    Hi Bryan,

    One more point.

    3. Capture a finite number of frames, say 2, so that the transmission period doesn't exceed 10 seconds.

    Hi Anil,

    Thanks for your reply.

    1.) I'm already pressing the "Setup TSW1400" button once I've finished profile, chirp, and frame configuration.

    2.) I've chosen the parameters such that the transmission time is less than 10 seconds. My frame periodicity is 2ms and the number of frames is 32, giving a transmission time of 64ms.

    3 and 4.) Which default settings satisfy this requirement? Under SensorConfig -> Frame, my Start Chirp TX is 0, End Chirp TX is 0, Number of Frames is 0, Number of Chirp Loops is 128, Periodicity is 40ms, and Trigger Delay is 0. My understanding is that setting Number of Frames to 0 means transmit infinite frames, so I did change that to 2, to make sure that the transmission period doesn't exceed 10 seconds.

    I've tried to capture data with both the parameters from the above mentioned training document and the defaults, but I still get the same set of errors.

    Thanks,

    Bryan

    Bryan:

    See if this helps:

    1. Set up the TSW1400 before configuring the AWR1243BOOST + DEVPACK. This includes loading TSW1400 firmware. 

    2. Once the TSW1400 is set up, then go through the AWR1243 set up in radar studio the way it has been prescribed. 

    3. I have been able to log data using this sequence. 

    4. If any settings change in Chirp, Profile and/or Frame Config, the AWR1243BOOST needs to be reset again for the new changes to take 
    place. Then I have been able to collect data. If I change params, and then go do a TSW1400 setup, TSW1400 ARM and Trigger Frame, the set up does not work and no ADC data gets collected.

    Hi RJ,

    I've run through your steps, but I'm still receiving the "MatlabProc Status: Error Type: No Data was collected.  Please check." message.

    I just want to make sure that I'm understanding your directions correctly.

    1. Use HSDC Pro to install the TSW1400 firmware.  I'm using the "AWR12xx_lvds_4Channel_ddr_4bit_par_centre_16_bit" entry in the left hand drop down menu.
    2. In Radar Studio, under "SOP Control", set "Mode 2 (Development)", then click the "Set Up TSW1400" button on the left.
    3. Set up the AWR1443, using the settings indicated in the mmWave Sensor Raw Data Capture Using the TSW1400 Board document.

    Also, when changing the Chirp, Profile, or Frame Config entries, is there a specific order of operations to be performed before resetting the AWR1443BOOST module, or is it just press the reset button?

    Thanks for your help,

    Bryan

    Hi Bryan, 

    Inside the RadarStudio folder, there is another folder called PostProc. Could you share the LogFile.txt from that folder?  We can see if there is any issue in the configuration from that file. 

    Also, could you verify the following.

    1. Is HSDCPro (the capture card's software) up and running when you try to capture data?

    2. When you press 'Arm TSW1400'  does the bottom left of the HSDC Pro change to 'check D3 bit' (as shown below)?

    Regards,

    Anil

    As for your questions:

    1.)  Yes, HSDC Pro is always running.

    2.)  Yes, I do see the "Check D3 bit" in the lower left corner of HSDC Pro.

    Also, based on that log file, I tried waiting more than 2 seconds between clicking "TSW1400 ARM" and clicking "Trigger Frame".  I still get the same error.

    Hi Bryan,

    As per the log, everything seems to be fine (except that no data was captured).

    Could you go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro\1400 Details\Firmware and check the age of the file ADC_FIRMWARE.rbf? It should be newer than the other files in the same folder.

    If that is the case, I would begin to suspect the connections on the board. Could you check if the 120 pin connection between the the EVM and the devpack, and from the devpack to the TSW1400 are Ok? Both cables are equally likely to have issues. If possible, could you check the LVDS lines on a scope to see if they are toggling?

    Regards
    Anil

    ADC_FIRMWARE.rbf has the same dates as every other file in the directory, except for AWR1642_FIRMWARE.rbf.

    I recopied ADC_FIRMWARE.rbf into that folder again and that seems to have resolved the issue. I'm now able to capture data.

    Hi, Anil,

    I am using  IWR1443Booster -> mmWave DevPack -> TSW1400 hardware chain, and I have encountered same issue as Bryan.

    The issue is that no data is captured by TSW1400.

    I discovered that USER_LED5 on TSW1400 is OFF, and USER_LED5 indicates the ddr memory works.

    Do you have any suggestion on checking ddr memory on TSW1400?

    The log file is show below:

    Did you update the .rbf firmware files in the "\High Speed Data Converter Pro\1400 Details\Firmware\" folder ?

    Hello Vivek,

    I already updated .rbf in "\High Speed Data Converter Pro\1400 Details\Firmware\" folder.
    The updated files are "AWR1642_FIRMWARE.rbf" and "ADC_FIRMWARE.rbf".
    However, I can still not capture by TSW1400.

    Could you share the files in the  folder : C:\ti\mmwave_dfp_00_07_00_04\rf_eval\radarstudio\PostProc\ ? Specifically, I am looking for the Logfile.txt file. These files would help us narrow down the issue.

    Hi Zhaoyu,

    I notice that you've only enabled one channel, and one LVDS lane. Though, your configuration is valid, and should work, could you try another capture with all 4 Rx enabled, and all 4 LVDS lanes also enabled? If that doesn't work, could you check the age of ADC_FIRMWARE.rbf file in the \High Speed Data Converter Pro\1400 Details\Firmware\ folder? It should be newer and of the same age as (AWR1642_FIRMWARE.rbf). Could you also go through the previous messages in the same thread and see if any of them help?

    Regards,
    Anil

    Hello Anil,

    I can capture data now. 

    The reason that I cannot capture data is because of power supply. I used to use a 5v 2A power supply. When I change 5V 5A power supply, TSW1400 can capture data from sensor.

    Thanks a lot,

    Zhaoyu
