AWR6843: how to configure the register 'testpatternvldcfg'

Part Number: AWR6843


Tool/software:

I am using the AWR6843. I would like to configure the register 'testpatternvldcfg' to create an LVDS test pattern. Could you please tell me how to set it up?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out regarding the ADC test pattern. I would highly recommend looking over the adcbuf driver unit test code which includes a snippet for configuring the test pattern using the ADCBuf_control function, some input configuration parameters, and the ADCBufMMWave_CMD_CONF_TEST_PATTERN command. The main test file, test_adcbuf.c, can be found under <MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_DIR>/packages/ti/drivers/adcbuf/test/common and the code snippet is a part of the Test_ADCBUFContModeConfig function, specifically lines 302-316. 

    The ADCBuf_control function calls the ADCBUF_MMWave_control via function pointer which executes different functions based on a passed in command. In this case, the ADCBufMMWave_CMD_CONF_TEST_PATTERN calls the ADCBUFTestPatternConfig to configure ADC buffer test pattern registers including the TESTPATTERNVLDCFG register.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Regards,

    Kristien
