AWR1443BOOST: AWR1443BOOST and Raspberry Pi (Python)

Caden Millican

Part Number: AWR1443BOOST


Tool/software:

I am wanting to read data from the AWR1443BOOST using a Raspberry Pi 5. I have the AWR and the Pi connected via USB, and I am running a Python script on the Pi. Here is my question: how do I read the configuration file provided by TI (profile.cfg) and send this data to the AWR via the serial port? As of now, I can successfully read the file, but my problem is sending this data to the AWR. My program seems to indicate that it passed all the bytes to the board, but the board does not react. I have successfully done this wtih C# in a Windows Form application, but now I'm trying to recreate this on a Raspberry Pi.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    What SW are you running on the AWR1443BOOST? The standard demo provided in the mmWave SDK does not support receiving the configuration through SPI.

    thank you

    Thanks for the reply. I have the AWR connected to the Pi via USB, and I'm using pyserial to communicate with it. I was finally able to write the config file to the board.

    I'm not flashing the AWR board; I'm using the standard demo loaded on it. My Python program sends commands to the board via USB that the standard demo can understand.
