AWR1843BOOST: MRR_Beamsteering code not working

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2944

Tool/software:

Hello Team,

I want to use the MRR_Beamsteering project available in TI's Resource Explorer. I imported the project from Resource Explorer to my workspace and, as per the MRR_Beamsteering Project User Guide, I built the project, but it is not working.

However, I tested the pre-built binary, and it works fine. Could there be an issue with the MRR_Beamsteering project code, similar to the issue in the awr2944_mmw_nonos_demo_TDM?

Note: To verify the functionality of both binaries, I extracted the data from UART. For the pre-built binary, data was received correctly via UART, but no data was received for the binary built on my system

Regards,

Miit Prajapati.

  • Hi Miit,

    I don't see any issue in running the MRR Beamsteering demo by importing the project and building it in CCS. CLI is bypassed, so please check if you are receiving data over Auxiliary Data port. Please use mmWave SDK 3.2.0.4 as mentioned in MRR Beamsteering Release Notes.

  • Hello Samhitha,

    Thanks for replying.

    Firstly, I am using the OUT_OF_DEMO code for my project, and for that, I am using SDK version 03.06.00.00. However, SDK version 03.06.00.00 is not suitable for the MRR_Beamsteering code.?

  • Hi Miit Prajapati,

    MRR Beamsteering demo is not ported to the latest SDK. You can try to port it to 03.06.00.00 SDK at your end. But if you try to run MRR beamsteering demo with 3.6.0.0 SDK without any changes, you might face issues in running the application.
