AWR2243: SDK for streaming live data to Windows Application

Malcolm Barbour

Part Number: AWR2243

Hi,

I want to build a Windows application that streams radar data from the AWR2243 ta PC.

Is this possible? Is there an SDK for this and better still are there any demo examples or sample code? 

Ideally I'd want to build the application using Visual Studio.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

    Hi, This would be possible only if you can support LVDS or CSI2 on your PC thank you Cesar.

    The AWR2243 can only use these high speed interfaces to send the raw data

    thank you

    Thanks Cesar. And if we can support these interfaces is there an SDK for Windows we can use to connect to the AWR2243 and transfer the data?

    Hi,

    For AWR2243 based solutions, we provide the mmWave Link library which implements the APIs that have to be used to configure the AWR2243.

    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

    Customers would have to port the mmWave Link library to their host. This is usually a complex task because it requires hardware and software experience to debug the CSI-2 communication.

    thank you

    Thanks again. That sounds quite tricky then but we may give it a go. Assuming we can get the raw data coming in to a PC, we'd then need to process that. Do you have any library code for the post processing? I'm referring to the Range-Angle and Detection & Angle Estimation plots that are generated from mmWave Studio after pressing the PostProc button. Do you have anything that shows how these are calculated from the raw data collected from the device?

    Also, would you be able to point me to where I can find information describing the format of the raw data that comes from the device? Many thanks!

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay.

    Unfortunately we don't provide source code for the matlab postproc functions. Most customers implement their custom algorithms.

    The raw data format is provided in the mmWave Studio User Guide

    C:\ti\mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14\docs\mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf

    Please see section 25, raw data format

    thank you
