Hi,

What params did you pass to the rlRfRunTimeCalibConfig function?

Best Regards,

Hi Alec May

 I make CLI command for one-time calibration for sending command at runtime as follows.

********************************************************************************************************************
cliCfg.tableEntry[cnt].cmd = "setOneTimeCal";
cliCfg.tableEntry[cnt].helpString = "<RF one time calibration>";
cliCfg.tableEntry[cnt].cmdHandlerFxn = RBT_CLISetOneTimeCalibration;

static int32_t RBT_CLISetOneTimeCalibration(int32_t argc, char* argv[])
{
    if (argc != 1)
    {
    CLI_write ("Error: Invalid usage of the CLI command\n");
    return -1;
    }

   extern int32_t MmwDemo_setProfileConfig (void);
   extern int32_t MmwDemo_setRunTimeCalibConfig (void);

    if(MmwDemo_setProfileConfig() != 0)
   {
       CLI_write ("Error: Profile config\n");
      return -1;
    }

    if (MmwDemo_setRunTimeCalibConfig () != 0)
    {
         CLI_write ("Error: RunTimeCal config\n");
         return -1;
    }
    return 0;
}

int32_t MmwDemo_setProfileConfig (void)
{
     int32_t retVal;
    /* Set Profile configuration */
     retVal = rlSetProfileConfig(RL_DEVICE_MAP_INTERNAL_BSS, 1, (rlProfileCfg_t*)&gProfileCfg);

     /* Check for mmWaveLink API call status */
     if(retVal != 0)
    {
         /* Error: Link reported an issue. */
         System_printf("Error: rlSetProfileConfig retVal=%d\n", retVal);
         return -1;
     }
     return 0;
}

int32_t MmwDemo_setRunTimeCalibConfig (void)
{
      int32_t retVal;
      rlRunTimeCalibConf_t runTimeCalib;

      runTimeCalib.oneTimeCalibEnMask = 0x710;
      runTimeCalib.periodicCalibEnMask = 0;
      runTimeCalib.calibPeriodicity = 0;
      runTimeCalib.reportEn = 1;

      /* Set Run time calibration configuration */
       retVal = rlRfRunTimeCalibConfig(RL_DEVICE_MAP_INTERNAL_BSS, (rlRunTimeCalibConf_t*)&runTimeCalib);

      if (retVal != 0)
      {
           System_printf ("Error: rlRfRunTimeCalibConfig [Error %d]\n", retVal);
          return -1;
      }else
      {
            System_printf ("rlRfRunTimeCalibConfig OK \n");
       }
         return 0;
}

********************************************************************************************************************

And when it is running normally, i send CLI command with tool made by myself.  Tool run well.
but Error returned from BSS for rlRfRunTimeCalibConfig.
Error code is 286. but 286's Error code don't exist at Error code list.

The parameters of rlRfRunTimeCalibConfig are in the MmwDemo_setRunTimeCalibConfig function above.

I want to use only one-time calibration on run time.

is it possible at current system FW?

Isn't it possible only at init time?

thank you.

Hi,

It is certainly possible to do single shot calibration during runtime. Please allow me some time to dig into your error and potentially provide some reference code.

Hi,

After doing some further investigation into this specific issue, I believe that perhaps some of the reserved bits in the rlRunTimeCalibConf_t are getting flipped on, perhaps due to optimization or something not being cleared. Can you try to memset the struct to all 0's before you construct it, and see if your error changes?

Best Regards,
Alec

Hi Alec May

After memset to O, it works fine.

When frame rate is 180Hz, it's oK,  but when frame rate is 240Hz, it's NG.

May I know what frame rate is possible?

thank you.

Hi,

Glad to hear that worked. In terms of what framerate is possible, whether a single shot calib is possible is determined by whether the time needed for the calibs that you have selected exceeds the time between frames, meaning that there is no time for the calib to execute. If you are interested in the exact amount of time needed for each type of calib, let me know which you have configured an I can look into it further for you. Otherwise, you can also find out the optimal framerate for your specific usecase experimentally.

Best Regards,
Alec
