IWR6843ISK: Modify the clock of the EVM to align it with the clock of a computer

Hi,

Are you trying to get a time stamp sent out of the device over uart?

Thank you,

Angie

Hi,

So far, I converted the frame number (from vital sign GUI) to time with the sample rate 20Hz. But I want to replace this time by a computer timestamp via UART.

Thanks a lot for your support

Hi Houdali,

Current time is not something our device outputs. But you can use what you have developed to deduce the time if you know the time you started the program.

Thanks,

Angie

Hi,

I can't replace the frame number by the timestamp because the radar is not triggered by the computer timestamp. So I'm not able to know the reference. How can I set the data clock with the pc timestamp?

Thanks

Hi Houdali,

You could send a time over UART from the PC to the device to use as a start time and then use the cycleprofiler to determine how much time has passed. However, I cannot write the code to do this for you on this forum. 

Thanks,

Angie

Hi,

In this case, the code is to be added in the mss firmware?

Thanks

Yes!
