AWR1243BOOST: HostINT of AWR1243 seems to be pulled up by default?

Part Number: AWR1243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243

board : 4AWR1243 (AWRx Cascaded Radar RF Evaluation Module)+ARM MCU ,Connection between External Processor MCU  and master AWR1243 .

SPI_CLK_1 SPI_CS_1 MOSI_1  MISO_1   SOP Control:  functional mode, as TDO =1, SYNC_OUT = 0, PMIC_CLKOUT = 0

NRESET:

mmwave-example-nonos is running in MCU  ,using the functional SOP mode, so SOP 2/1  0V , SOP 0  3.3V before the nRST goes high.

but HostINT of AWR1243  is always high?

  • Hi,

               by Default the HOSTINTR is pulled down(weak) in the hardware. The HOST needs to pull it up during ongoing communication. Can you please confirm if some SPI activity(CLK , data) is also happening while you scope HOSTINTR?

    regards

  • HI,we have solved this problem and got ACK from AWR1243,it goes well untill  Sensorstart commond, 

       mmwl_bSensorStarted = 0U;
        retVal = rlSensorStart(deviceMap);
    #ifndef ENABLE_TEST_SOURCE
        if ((rfDevCfg.aeControl & 0x1) == 0x0)
        {
            while (mmwl_bSensorStarted == 0U)
            {
                osiSleep(1); /*Sleep 1 msec*/
                timeOutCnt++;
                if (timeOutCnt > MMWL_API_RF_INIT_TIMEOUT)
                {
                    retVal = RL_RET_CODE_RESP_TIMEOUT;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    I can't got a mmwl_bSensorStarted  ACK?please help me what's the probelm,PS: AWR1243 CSI2  lane is not connected with MCU.
