IWR1443BOOST: How to parse data with one TX and one RX

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM

Dear Engineer,

I used IWR1443BOOST+DCA1000EVM to capture the raw data. How do I parse the data using only Tx0 and Rx0 to transmit and receive signals?

I use the script rawDatareader.m in MATLABexample to parse the captured data.

    Hello,

    The configuration parameters are hardcoded into capture demo application for LVDS 12-bit mode, 4 lane, complex output, for the 1443 device.

    Regards,

    Brennan

    Hi Brennan,

    How can I modify the demo to properly parse the data?

    Regards,

    Kelong, 

    Before collecting data, go to the "data config" tab in mmWave studio:

    Then, in the "LVDS Lane Configuration" box, select ONLY Lane1:

    Then, click "Set" in the bottom right corner of the Data Configuration box:

    After this, collect data with your configuration and then parse/postprocess.

    Please let me know if you experience any additional issues.

    Regards,

    Brennan

    Hi Brennan,

    I'm sorry that I didn't reply your message in time because of some events.

    My previous operation is the same as what you replied. In the channel configuration, I only selected Tx0 and Rx0 for transmitting and receiving antennas, and ONLY selected Lane1 for LVDS channel configuration, but the result was that the data could not be analyzed.

    Hi Kelong, 

    It appears that all 4 LVDS lanes must be enabled on the 1443/in mmWave Studio in order to parse the data.  You can enable just TX0 and RX0, but all 4 LVDS lanes must still be enabled in order for the rawDataReader.m parser to run successfully.

    In this case, please enable all 4 LVDS lanes in the mmWave Studio GUI, and also enable just TX0 and RX0 (as before) in the StaticConfig tab in the mmWave Studio GUI.  This will ensure that the setup files that the parser receives will set the correct values and allow the parser to run successfully.

    Regards,

    Brennan
