Question:
Is AWR2944 ethernet interface fully enabled and functional? Can it be used for raw data (ADC samples) streaming?
Hello Daniel,
Yes, the AWR2944 has ethernet support up to 100 Mbps.
For raw data capture you will need streaming much faster than that, that will not be possible.
You will have to use interface like LVDS and CSI2.

When you say not possible, do you mean it is disabled completely? We can still stream at a lower rate, right? What's the issue?
Can you please elaborate a little more? Thanks!
Hello Daniel,
Again I mentioned you can stream, but general throughput of the ADC data for a standard configuration is generally more than the 100 Mbps. If you can manage the ADC data throughput less than the 100 Mbps, then it works. If your ADC data throughput is more ethernet speed then you will see a loss of data.

Thanks Saswat.
How can we get a benchmark performance from 2944? What is the maximum performance we can get from this chip/board?
Hello Daniel,
There is no such benchmark, it really depends on whether you use the Ethernet with LWIP stack or no, it depends on how you optimize the application. The Ethernet PHY is capable of 100 Mbps streaming.

Saswat, I was referring to the DSP processing performance, e.g., frame rate, FFT size and any characteristics about point cloud.
Hello Daniel,
Currently there is no document like that as of now. It is under development and there is no tentative data as of such when it will be released.
If you want information on demo you can go through, the SDK user guide or the code itself. Even on E2E you can find infromation.
If you want information on TLV of the point clouds its here: ti/demo/2944/mmw/docs
