IWR6843LEVM: IWR6843LEVM + DCA1000 Use mmw_cli_tool, the ADC data cannot be obtained, and the radar configuration fails to be delivered

Dave Wang

Part Number: IWR6843LEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843

Tool/software:

Environment: IWR6843LEVM + DCA1000

Radar firmware version: radar_toolbox_2_10_00_04\tools\studio_cli\prebuilt_binaries\mmwave_Studio_cli_xwr68xx.bin

Tools: radar_toolbox_2_10_00_04\tools\studio_cli\gui\mmw_cli_tool\mmwave_studio_cli.exe

mmwaveconfig.txt configured as:
MMWAVE_DEVICE_VARIANT=IWR6843
COM_PORT_NUM=5
COM_BAUD_RATE=115200
ENABLE_CONFIG_MMWAVE=1
ENABLE_MONITOR_CAPTURE=1
ENABLE_DCA_CAPTURE=1
ENABLE_POSTPROC=1
CONFIG_FILE_FORMAT=1
CONFIG_JSON_CFG_PATH=..\..\src\profiles\profile_monitor_xwr68xx.cfg
MONITORING_JSON_PATH=..\monitor_report_dir
NUMBER_OF_MONITOR_REPORT_STORE=10000
CAPTURED_ADC_DATA_PATH=..\aptured_adc_IWR6843
DCA_FILE_PREFIX=adc_data
DCA_MAX_REC_FILE_SIZE_MB=100
DCA_DATA_FORMAT_MODE=3
DCA_LVDS_LANE_MODE=2
POST_PROC_EXE_PATH=..\mmw_post_proc\mmwave_postproc.exe
CCS_DEBUG=0
FW_DOWNLOAD_DISABLE=1
FLASH_CONNECTED_TO_SENSOR=1
CRC_TYPE=1;
ACK_TIMEOUT=5000;

When I run the mmwave_studio_cli.exe, there is a prompt: There is no reply to the configuration sent to the radar via the UART

so I have two problems:

1. Does this FW (mmwave_Studio_cli_xwr68xx.bin) support multiple profileCfg deliveries?

2. How do I set the switch when IWR6843LEVM connected to DCA1000? I refer to a lot of documents, and the introductions are inconsistent, and I suspect that my switch settings are wrong.

    refer to User’s Guide IWR6843L EVM

    but in radar_toolbox_2_10_00_04/tools/studio_cli/docs/mmWaveStudio_CLI_GettingStartedGuide.html, 

    need to set the functional mode

    Hello Dave,

    Is there any reason you are using the mmwave_studio_cli tool as opposed to the full mmWaveStudio or DCA1000 Data Capture Tool? The DCA1000 Data Capture Tool is the easiest to setup and use and mmWaveStudio allows for extra knobs if needed for extensive chirp customization.

    Best Regards,

    Because I need to develop a tool using python by myself to obtain the ADC data online and parse it, not by analyzing the bin file.

    and we have collected a lot of adc data using mmWave Studio 02.01.01.00 tool, which supports multiple profileCfg configurations，and it is all stored in bin

    files.

    The DCA1000 Data Capture Tool is the easiest to setup and use, I have tried it and get adc data successfully, but the demo.bin does not support multiple

    profileCfg, we need set multiple profileCfg, to make sure the format of the ADC data we get is consistent with that we get it using mmWave Studio.

    Hello,

    As stated in the other TI thread, we can only provide a limited amount of support for custom applications as opposed to TI software. I would recommend working with the bin file as that is how all internal and external users do so and how the hardware and software was designed to work

    Best Regards,
