Hi~

    experts,we want to deisign aboarrd with 4 cascade AWR 2243,the MCU we want to use FPGA to reduce costs and power.could you give us same exmaples about how to control AWR1243?

    Hi,

    Yes it is possible to control the AWR2243 sensor from a FPGA host.

    The RF front end is controlled through the mmWave Link API. These APIs run always on the host. The host communicates with the sensor

    • Through SPI or I2c for sensor only gen2 devices: AWR22xx

     

    The source code for this API is provided in the Device Firmware Package that can be downloaded from this link.

     

    www.ti.com/.../MMWAVE-DFP

     

     

    For AWR1xxxx devices please download Gen1 DFP. For AWR2xxx devices please download Gen2 DFP.

     

    The documentation for available commands is provided in the Radar Interface Control (RIC) doc provided in the package:

    Thank you

    HI ,I looked up what you said.

    question 1:there are some files in mmwave_dfp_02_02_03_01\ti\control\mmwavelink\lib, mmwavelink_r4f.lib is used in R4F core?if I used FPGA-Z7 Cortex-A9,there isn't such lib in Cortex-A9.how I get it

    Hi,

    You will have to port the mmwave lib to Cortex A9.

    Please see other threads related to porting mmwave link to a host

    Please use google site search as follows

    thank you
