IWR6843LEVM: How to obtain radar ADC data in a Linux system environment？

Dave Wang

Part Number: IWR6843LEVM

Tool/software:

pc os: ubuntu

hardware: IWR6843LEVM + DCA1000

I use the ti\radar_toolbox_2_10_00_04\tools\Adc_Data_Capture_Tool_DCA1000_CLI tool to get adc data successfully, but it does not support multiple profiles.

The radar config in my config is:

...

profileCfg 0 60.00 2789 11 41 0 0 97.0 1 64 2200 0 0 36

profileCfg 1 60.00 20 11 41 0 0 97.0 1 64 2200 0 0 36

...

So I want to know how do I get the adc data based on this multiple profileCfg in a linux system environment? thanks.

Hello,

We do not officially support any DCA1000 capture tools for operating systems outside of Windows. Please check the DCA1000 E2E FAQ page for more information. There are some potential solutions we have noticed across the internet if you scour for it, but none of them tools made by TI.

Hi Pedrhom,

Got it, thanks for your support.

I think we should solve the problem of collecting ADC data under the Windows platform first：

We can obtain radar data by using IWR6843LEVM radar with multiple profileCfg, but after connecting the DCA1000, we can't get the data, I want to know why?

Best Regards
