Part Number: AWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR6843, AWRL6432, MMWAVEICBOOST

Tool/software:

Dear sir/madam,

   I have captured  raw adc data using AWR6843ISK+DCA 1000  card and  captured data is stored in .bin file.

My question:

  1.  Is there any options available  to fed  this .bin file and run the any of Examples(available source code )shared part of "radar toolbox download"  with Evaluation kit or without kit  ?

  2. if possible to fed .bin file, then how to fed and where to fed the .bin file?

regards,

mani

    Hi, Mani:

    For AWR6843, we have not built any debug feature to feed the binary data into demo. 

    For AWRL6432 demo, we have built a debug feature to feed the binary data into SDK L demo.   You can search for adcDataSource CLI in motion and presence detection demo.  If you download the latest SDK L, you can find the demo under:

    C:\ti\MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_05_02_00\examples\mmw_demo\motion_and_presence_detection 

    You are welcome to add this feature to MSS.  The idea is similar, instead of start RF sensing, you will start a readADCFromFile Task, and inside that task, ADC samples of one chirp will be read from a file and then save into memory, after that, it will simulate a chirp available ISR so that the rest of the signal chain can work as normal.   Adding this feature does need some effort. 

    Best,

    Hi zigang,

     Thanks for your quick response.

    My question:

    1.Does this debug feature to feed .bin data required evaluation kit or without evaluation kit will i able to Verify output at various dpu points on ccs tool?

    2.if I m able to view without evaluation kit on ccs ,do I need to do any settings or commands on ccs?

    3.if any documents or procedure available on how to use "debug feature to feed.bin data"..kindly share it

    Regards,

    Mani

    If you are referring to the MMWAVEICBOOST, you will need it to connect the XDS110 on the 6843 for debugging features such as setting breakpoints and viewing registers and memory. This will allow you to step through the DPU and verify outputs if needed.

    As stated in the previous reply, you will need a MMWAVEICBOOST for debugging. There are no commands needed in CCS, but you will have to change board switch settings. See the following guide on how to configure the 6843ISK and MMWAVEICBOOST: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__ACzleIuZ4g1GuBmtlq-cGg__radar_toolbox__1AslXXD__LATEST&placeholder=true

    As stated by Zigang, feeding in binary ADC data is not an inherent feature of SDK 3, but you can reference the mmwDemo_adcFileReadTask code from the MMWAVE-L-SDK under <MMWAVE_LSDK_INSTALL_DIR>\examples\mmw_demo\motion_and_presence_detection\source\test\ADC_testbuf.c. You can also see how the CLI command for adcDataSource is defined by the CLI_MMWaveAdcDataSourceCfg function under <MMWAVE_LSDK_INSTALL_DIR>\examples\mmw_demo\motion_and_presence_detection\source\mmw_cli.c.
