AWR2944: TDM or DDM related structure?

bolong chen

Part Number: AWR2944

Tool/software:

Please help me to check following structures in mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01 are used only for TDM or DDM? or tell me where to check it?

1. DPC_ObjectDetection_StaticCfg

2. DPC_ObjectDetection_DynCfg

3. DPC_ObjectDetection_PreStartCfg

4. MmwDemo_DPC_ObjDet_StaticCfg

5. MmwDemo_DPC_ObjDet_DynCfg

6. MmwDemo_DPC_ObjDet_CommonCfg

You can check objectdetection.h files in C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\ti\datapath\dpc\objectdetection\objdethwa (used in TDM) and C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\ti\datapath\dpc\objectdetection\objdethwaDDMA to find the structures used in the both the processing chains.

I don't find this structure in the demo folder.

MmwDemo_DPC_ObjDet_DynCfg -> Used only in TDM demo (check mmw_config.h file)

MmwDemo_DPC_ObjDet_CommonCfg -> Used in both TDM and DDM demo (check config.h file)

HI Samhitha,

Thanks for your feedback.

Because I got errorcode as following: Error: DPM Report 4 received with error:-30110

And I debug it and found the issue is happen from following code

/* Parameter check: radarcube buffer Size */

if (pConfigIn->hwRes.radarCube.dataSize != (pStaticCfg->numRangeBins* sizeof(cmplx16ImRe_t) *

pStaticCfg->numChirpsPerFrame *

pStaticCfg->ADCBufData.dataProperty.numRxAntennas

* rangeProcObj->compressionCfg.achievedCompressionRatio) )

{

retVal = DPU_RANGEPROCHWA_ERADARCUBE_INTF;

goto exit;

}

And the root is the staticCfg->compressionCfg.compressionRatio is different to pStaticCfg->compressionCfg.compressionRatio

So I am still confused in some points:

1. The timing to input DPC_ObjectDetection_PreStartCfg?

2. The timing to input SubFrameObj?

3. The timing to input compressionCfg?

4. MmwDemo_isAllCfgInPendingState() only support TDM?

5. Which define(A or B part) is correct?

define A part:

#define MMWDEMO_SUBFRAME_STATICCFG_OFFSET (offsetof(MmwDemo_SubFrameCfg, objDetPreStartCfg) + \

offsetof(DPC_ObjectDetection_PreStartCfg, staticCfg))

#define MMWDEMO_COMPRESSIONCFG_OFFSET MMWDEMO_SUBFRAME_STATICCFG_OFFSET + \

(offsetof(MmwDemo_datapathCfg, compressionCfg))

define B part:

#define MMWDEMO_SUBFRAME_STATICCFG_OFFSET (offsetof(MmwDemo_SubFrameCfg, datapathStaticCfg))

#define MMWDEMO_COMPRESSIONCFG_OFFSET (MMWDEMO_SUBFRAME_STATICCFG_OFFSET + \

offsetof(DPC_ObjectDetection_StaticCfg, compressionCfg))

6. Is there any document about structures

SubFrameObj or

MmwDemo_SubFrameCfg or

MmwDemo_datapathCfg

used in the both the processing chains?

Hi Bolong,

Can you confirm if you are using TDM or DDM demo?

Hi Samhitha:

I use DDM demo.

What is the compressionCfg parameters that you have configured? Can you also tell me the number of ADC samples that you have configured? What is the value of both the compression ratios that you have mentioned to be different?

First after the configuration is sent over UART (including compressionCfg), the configuration is sent from MSS to DSS. First common configuration is sent from MSS to DSS, which includes antenna geometry pattern, antenna calibration parameters etc. Next Pre-Start configuration is sent from MSS to DSS for each subframe. This includes the rest of the configurations that are required to configure DPC and each DPUs. Subframeobj has the DPC and DPU configuration of each subframe.

If you are looking for the calculation of achieved compression ratio, you can check rangeProcHWA_ParseConfig function in C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\ti\datapath\dpu\rangeprocDDMA\src\rangeprochwaDDMA.c.

Yes, you are correct.

bolong chen said:
5. Which define(A or B part) is correct?

Macros listed in A are correct.

bolong chen said:

You can find detailed description of the structures in the header files where the structures are defined.

Refer to

C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\ti\demo\awr294x\mmw\include\mmw_config.h -> MmwDemo_datapathCfg
C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\ti\demo\awr294x\mmw\mss\mmw_mss.h ->

MmwDemo_SubFrameCfg
C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03\ti\datapath\dpc\objectdetection\objdethwaDDMA\include\objectdetectioninternal.h -> SubFrameObj

I suggest you to refer to C:/ti/mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03/mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_01_03/docs/mmwave_sdk_module_documentation.html and demo, processing chain source code to get a better understanding of the current implementation.
