IWRL6432BOOST: How to Control a Sensor with a Different MCU?

Part Number: IWRL6432BOOST

Tool/software:

I worked on a project where I processed sensor data using the IWRL6432BOOST.
Now, I want to control the sensor with a different MCU, but I'm not sure how to find the relevant information.

Looking at the build process in CCS, it seems to be loading library files from the SDK, but I don't fully understand how it works.

How should I approach this? Any guidance would be appreciated.

  • Hello.

    Now, I want to control the sensor with a different MCU, but I'm not sure how to find the relevant information.

    Could you clarify what you mean by control the sensor?  Do you want to process the ADC data on this external processor?  Or do you want this MCU to send the CLI commands?

    Looking at the build process in CCS, it seems to be loading library files from the SDK, but I don't fully understand how it works.

    The out-of-box demos will compile the source code along with the data processing units(DPUs), which are precompiled libraries provided in the SDK.  Together this forms the appimage that is run on the device.  If you want to make changes to the DPUs, you will have to make the code modifications and recompile the individual DPU library before rebuilding the project if you don't want to change the makefile.

    Sincerely,

    Santosh
