IWRL6432BOOST: IWRL6432BOOST WITH DCA1000 EVM Interface

Prashant Koparde
Intellectual 320 points
Part Number: IWRL6432BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWRL6432

Hello Team,

I am trying to capture the raw data using IWRL6432BOOST WITH DCA1000 EVM Interface. However, I am unable to do so. Can you please help me to capture the raw data using IWRL6432 with DCA1000 EVM.

Are there any detailed user guide/instructions document. As per DCA1000 EVM document I have setup the hardware and I am using mmWave Studio 02.01.01.00. I have changed the Ethernet settings also and I derving power from Radar board by changing the switch position.

Please guide me to get working setup.

Thanks & Regards

    Hello Prashant,

    Our most updated guide for the DCA1000 can be found in the Radar Toolbox on the TI Developer Zone. Have you taken a look at this?

    Hello Prashant,

    Unfortunately "Unable to read FPGA Version. [error -5]" is a generic error that can be caused by several different reasons. Fortunately there is a plethora of a threads across E2E that cover several solutions to this issue. I will note that this specific error is due to the inability to establish communication between DCA1000 and the PC, and has no relation to the mmWave sensor, Below are some example solutions.

    Hello,

    If you are struggling with the SPI portion, you can try using the DCA1000 ADC Data Capture Tool. It uses a different data path for raw data capture and uses only one USB cable for capture. Download the Radar Toolbox by clicking the triple dots next to its name once the pages fully load and you hover your mouse over it. Then use the user guide via as linked below to do the data capture.
