AWR2243: How to identify configurate AWR2243 succeffully?

Part Number: AWR2243
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA2, AWR1243

Hi!
I use a FPGA as a host to configurate and receive the raw data of AWR2243(use cascade RF board).
I made a pinboard to connet the RF board to my FPGA. I used the XILINX microblaze to configurate the AWR2243 and used XILINX IP MIPI CSI-2 Rx Subsystem to receive raw data.
I follow the configurate squeeze and parameter of demo project in dft, all the instruct are confugurare to the AWR2243 succeffully according to the returned message.
Now, I can not receive the data. I do not know where the problem is, in the configurate part or the CSI2 receive part.

My question is :

1. Is there any other approach to identify my configuration is right  except via receiving the right raw data.

2. If I use XILINX CSI2 Rx IP, Is there anything need I pay attentinon to ?

3. Is there any FPGA CSI2 Rx demo project can I refer to?

Thank you!

  • Hi,

    I hope on FPGA host you have used mmwavelink library which helps application to communicate to AWR2243 over SPI.

    If yes, then with all the required mmwavelink callbacks implemented, for each API call mmwavelink sends command to AWR2243 over SPI and it waits till it gets the response (ACK) from AWR2243 device. This sequence confirms the command is sent and consumed by AWR2243 successfully.  (answer to your Q#1 ).

    1. Is there any other approach to identify my configuration is right 

    .

    2. If I use XILINX CSI2 Rx IP, Is there anything need I pay attentinon to ?

    You need to refer AWR2243 datasheet for CSI2 specification and other configurations can be done via mmwavelink APIs.

    3. Is there any FPGA CSI2 Rx demo project can I refer to?

    There is no FPGA based demo project but you can refer TDA2 based project for AWR1243 (older Gen to AWR2243).
