IWR6843AOP: Industrial Communication Ports

Part Number: IWR6843AOP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM

Tool/software:

I'm working on a "Industrial Radar" project using the IWR6843AOP chip. Although this chip supports CAN-FD bus, I cannot use it for my industrial project. Instead I need to integrate the HART communication protocol or Ethernet to IWR6843AOP for my application. Are there any connection types and ICs you can recommend?

Thanks,

Berke.

Hello.

The IWR6843AOP can use UART communication. The out of box demo enables using UART to transmit data from the sensor to a host and be plotted on a visualizer.

Thanks for your answer. But for my project i need ethernet and HART communication protocols. Is there any connection types for them?

Hello.

I don't believe there is any support for the HART communication protocol, but if you want to use Ethernet you can look into using the DCA1000EVM, although the Ethernet is primarily used for collecting raw ADC sample data and not for communicating with the device. Primarily the device would use UART, SPI, CAN-FD, or I2C.
