DCA1000EVM: CLIT Capture No LVDS data

?? ?
Prodigy 20 points
Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2243, AWR2243BOOST

I try rawdata capture use "DCA1000EVM_CLI_Control.exe" but bin file not created.

I also did CMD comand in the order of fpga -> record -> start_record.

BUT When using mmWave studio, bin file is created.

I guess there is a problem with the json file.

{
"DCA1000Config": {
"dataLoggingMode": "raw",

"dataCaptureMode": "ethernetStream",
"lvdsMode": 1,

},

},
{

]
}
}
}

And HW is AWR2243 + DCA1000EVM

    Hello User, 

    How are you configuring the mmWave device? Is it using the mmWave Demo visualizer? or the DFP example? 

    You might also want to take a look at the DCA1000 debugging handbook for some help : (+) [FAQ] DCA1000EVM: DCA1000EVM Debug Resources - Sensors forum - Sensors - TI E2E support forums

    hello,

    Mmwave device setting is connects AWR2243 and DCA1000EVM.

    and data is checked wieh mmWave Studio.

    SW2 setting is this.

    mmWave Demo Visualizer is not used. If i need to use this, can you give me the guid?

    and What does DFP mean?  DFP is unknown word. and I tried to find the meaning but There were so many different meanings.

    Regards.

    Hello User,

    Sorry If I was ambiguous in my response. I just wanted to know how you're configuring the radar device. This corresponds to the profile, chirp and frame configuration. Are you using mmWave Studio for that? And then DCA1000 CLI tool for data capture? 

    Regards,

    Ishita

    Hello, Ishita Kochar

    I don't seem to understand the exact meaning because i am using a translator.

    I am not a radar major, so i don't know the detailed settings for profile, chief, and frame.

    So i pressed the button according to mmWave Studio's guide and got the desired result from mmWave Studio.

    DCA1000 CLI tool is located in "C:\ti\mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14\mmWaveStudio\PostProc", it was installed together. when installing mmWave Studio.


    I think the problem is caused by lack of firmware.

    So Download DFP and try to run "mmwavelink_example.exe"

    Hello User,

    Yes, there are two parts to data capture. One is the configuration of the radar device and other one is the configuration of DCA1000 for data capture. 

    Based on your response, I believe you were not configuring the Radar device and directly moving to DCA1000 data capture. 

    So were you able to run the mmwavelink_example.exe successfully?

    Ishita

    Hello,

    I tried to get "mmwavelink_example.exe" to work, but it failed.

    I attach the log

    ====================== SPI Mode of Operation ======================

    Device map 1 : SOP 4 mode successful

    Device map 1 : Device reset successful

    rlDeviceEnable Callback is called by mmWaveLink for Device Index [0]

    mmWave Device Power on failed for deviceMap 1 with error -8

    Hello User,

    This application resets the AWR2243 device via DCA1000EVM interface, so you can see NRST LED blink as application starts. In case you observe ‘-8’ error in the application console at the beginning then you may need to press NRST button manually then execute the application.

    Please follow the mmwave_dfp_user_guide.pdf closely for executing this application. This document is part of the mmWave DFP package, present at the following location : \mmwave_dfp_02_02_03_01\docs

    Regards,

    I try it. in the following order.

    NRST button push -> start program.

    start program -> waiting print "rlDeviceEnable Callback is called by mmWaveLink for Device index[0]" -> NRST button push.

    Out is both printed "mmWave Device Power on failed for deviceMap 1 with error -8".

    Hello User,

    Somehow the .exe application is not able to reset the board (which further generates the powerup async-event). Do you see Red LED (NRST_OUT) on AWR2243BOOST blink when you execute the application?

    If not, then try pushing the NRST switch button on the board and immediately execute the application.

    Regards,

    Ishita

    Hello,

    Sorry. NRST_OUT LED not found.

    Instead, I checked NRST LED(Yellow) it didn't blink when application(mmWavelink_example.exe) was executing.

    But WARMRST LED(Red) blink, when application starting. 

    And I try push NRST button and immediately execute application(mmWavelink_example.exe). But same error message(mmWave Device Power on failed for deviceMap 1 with error -8) was output.

    Regards,

    Hello,

    I run to mmWavelink_example.exe. refer to this post.

    https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/958388/awr2243boost-mmwavelink_example-exe-with-dca1000evm-and-awr2243boost

    Problem is SOP jumper, and I ON the jumper only SOP0.

    But DCA1000EVM_CLI_Control + DCA1000EVM_CLI_Record is not working.

    Hello,

    I sovled this problem.

    I execute "DCA 1000 EVM Control, Record" and "mmwavelink_montroring.exe" same time.


    I did not understand what the application did.

    "DCA1000EVM Control and Record" is only control DCA1000EVM. It is not Contorol AWR2243.

    but I thought. DCA1000EVM did control AWR2243.

    Thank you for your support.

    Regards.
