AWR6843AOPEVM: How to read the data from the device to a linux system

Part Number: AWR6843AOPEVM

Hi all,

I'm just starting in the embedded field and i need some help to reading the data from the AWR6843AOPEVM device to a Linux system using UART.

Is there any baudrate we neet to set? Is there any example program to read and process these data?

Can someone point me in the right direction? Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

  • Hi,

    UART requires an agreed upon baud rate between the two devices. Our out-of-box lab uses two UARTs, one to configure the device (115200 baud), and one to send output data (921600 baud). Our visualizer tools read and process the output data sent over UART to display it to a computer. The out-of-box demo is already set up for the UARTs, you likely just need to write a Linux program to read them. If you can run our python based visualizer on your linux machine then that's one way you could read the data, but it's likely way more than you need. I would recommend looking up python UART reading scripts to find one that works for you.

    Output data format for OOB Lab can be found here (for interpreting the data over UART)
