IWR1642BOOST: Get data from IWR1642BOOST

Hi,

I have designed an interface board that I want to use to communicate with the IWR1642 BOOST radar via the network. Currently, I can send config through the network to RS232 and receive "done," but I am not receiving anything from the MSS logger. After receiving the "done" message from the last sensorStart command, should the MSS logger produce any output ?Do I have to do something else after sending config so that I can get the output?

I have set the baud rate to 921600.

Hello.

When trying to get data off the device, I would recommend opening two serial terminals(1 for sending the config and 1 for seeing the data output). These two terminals will connect to the application/uart port and data uart port, respectively. Are you switching between the same terminal? Or are you not seeing output on the second terminal?

Sincerely,

Santosh

I use two terminals. One to send settings and one to receive output data.

To receive radar data in the microcontroller, should I use uart dma?

Hello.

The baud rate for the second terminal should be 921600; can you confirm that this is the baud rate that terminal is using?

You shouldn't have to; all you need to do is make sure you are writing out the data via UART_write().
