AWR6843AOP: Custom board without 60 pin Connector

Andrea Medori

Part Number: AWR6843AOP

Hi,

I have developed a custom board with AWR6843AOP, but due to small size of the module I had not space for 60 pin connector.

I have the UART connection available and I get connection with mmWave Demo Visualizer.

Can I connect the device with mmWave Studio? Device is not detected in the Connection Tab.

I would like to start with certification FCC/RED and from app note, I see a Lua scipt ir requested for Stability frequency Test.

I found Lua script in the certificatoin package, but how can I run the Lua script, without mmWave Studio?

Thanks a lot,

Hello,

For connecting to mmWave studio you need to have RS232 (UART), SPI, SOP, NRST signals need to be connected to DCA1000 board. For running the LUA scripts mmWave studio is needed. Without it it cannot be run.

Thanks and regards,

Thank you for your reply. For the certificatoin purpose I need to provide a firmware into CW mode, but I understand Lua script is not an option for my board.

So I decided to use cli command interface to send commands to run CW mode at 60, 62 and 64GHz like in the Lua scripts designed for certification.

(C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_10_1\certification\RED supporting documents\Lua Scripts)

What commands are needed or where can I find the .cfg file for CW mode with XWR6843AOP?

Unfortunately, I found only the sprofile_continuous_mode_xwr18xx.cfg version in the path:

C:\ti\radar_toolbox_1_00_00_26\tools\studio_cli\src\profiles

Have you any suggestion? What do I have to change in this .cfg file?

Regards,

Andrea M

Hi Andrea,

Unfortunately, I found only the sprofile_continuous_mode_xwr18xx.cfg version in the path:

The configuration file you refer to is for one of our 77Ghz devices. You should be able to just modify the start frequency and use with the 6843 binary provided in the Studio CLI example. The first argument of contModeCfg.

'contModeCfg 77 0 0 6000 0 0 30 0 1024'

Best Regards,

Josh
