Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWCAS-DSP-EVM,
Hi!
I have a AWR2243 with MMWCAS-DSP-EVM board and mmWave studio to collect data under the cascade MIMO mode.
mmWave studio version: 03.00.00.14
firmware version: mmwave_dfp_02_02_03_01
I am having trouble collecting data other than exactly 10 frames. I am using the provided Cascade_Configuration_MIMO.lua to configure the sensor, and Cascade_Capture.lua to capture data. It seems the sensor always stop after capturing 10 frames. I tried specifying number of frames to capture (num_frames_to_capture in Cascade_Capture.lua) to other numbers and PostProc always returned 10 frames. I also attempted infinite number of frames and manual 'stop capture' from GUI and that ended up stopping prematurely with 10 frames as well. I attached the log output in the following, it seems that [RadarAPI] returned frame ended almost immediately after starting, but I'm not sure if this is coming from the board or from the studio.
What might be the cause for this ? What is the proper way to start capture data until told to stop and are there examples or APIs that I can look up? Is the variable ar1 going to be the primary communication tool between my PC and the sensor? Thanks!
