Original question:

AWR1843: AWR1843 - Serial communication with Raspberry Pi

AWR1843: Connecting a Raspberry Pi 4 to a AWR1843

Part Number: AWR1843

Hello TI,

My capstone project group has purchased the AWR1843 and we do not know how to connect it to a Raspberry Pi.

We also need to integrate the Raspberry PI 4 with  AWR1843 through python.

Can you provide videos or documentation that can help us out 

Regards,

Adil

    Hi,

    The mmWave SDK demo that runs on the AWR1843 uses UART to communicate with the GUI PC.

    We also have an internal example where SPI is used to communicate with the host.

    You could enable SPI on the Rasberry Pi to communicate with the AWR1843.

    Please let me know if you want me to share with you the SPI example.

    Thank you

    Hello Cesar,

    Thanks for the quick response.

    That would be great if you can provide the SPI example.

    Also another question, how can I connect the ESP32 sensor to the AWR1843 ?

    Just to give you an idea of what the sensor looks like I have included the below link

    Hi,

    You would have to study the ESP32 EVM to understand what interfaces can be used to communicate with the AWR1843BOOST EVM. I assume that you are using the AWR1843BOOST EVM.

    Please note that both EVMs are evaluation modules and sometimes it may not be possible to bring out some of the peripherals.

    For AWR1843BOOST you should be able to use the UART. This will require software modifications

    thank you
