AWR2243BOOST: Initializing and beginning data collection from C++

Sam Ihns

Part Number: AWR2243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM, AWR2243

Tool/software:

Hello, I am using an AWR2243 BOOST and a DCA1000EVM to collect data for a research project. My current workflow involves connecting to the sensor and initializing it using mmwave studio, beginning data collection in mmwave studio, and then running a custom C++ script to read the incoming data packets from ethernet and process my data in real time.

I am wondering if it is possible to initialize the sensor directly from C++ without the need for mmwave studio. Both mmwave studio and the mmwave sdk contain C++ code that seems like it may contribute to this. Is there any central resource or documentation describing how to approach this? Thanks.

    Hi,

    mmwave studio is needed to config the sensor from a PC. However is is possible to call mmwave studio APIs from 

    Please take a look at this example

    C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_01_02\mmwave_dfp_02_02_04_00\ti\example\mmWaveLink_SingleChip_Example

    This example runs on PC but uses mmwave studio libraries. It does not use the mmwave studio gui

    Thank you

    Thank you Cesar. I am able to run the example and tune the radar parameters to my liking. However, I am not figuring out how to stream the data over ethernet using the DCA1000evm. I thought that if I set my DCA1000 to "hardware mode" via switch 2.5, as described in the DCA1000EVM User Guide, then the device would automatically stream data over ethernet once it starts receiving data from the AWR2243 board, but this does not seem to be the case.

    I would like to set up the DCA1000evm to simply stream data over ethernet without any postprocessing or saving (as this is done by some custom code I have already written). Is this possible? 

    In the mmwave DFP users guide, section 7 (Data capture using DCA1000evm) it seems like I could run the "fpga" and "record" lines of code and the DCA1000evm would be prepared to stream data.

    I'm a little confused, any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks.
