AWR2243BOOST: Connection AWR2243Boost with Xilinx Zynq FPGA (ZCU102) for data capture and analysis

Part Number: AWR2243BOOST

Tool/software:

Hi ,

I want to use awr2243boost  for one of the IoT application, can i use Zynq FPGA for data capturing ?

I am new to the mmwave sensing technology so bear with me.
I am currently attempting to utilize the AWR2243BOOST to do some basic velocity/range estimation and measurements

Please guide for the  same , how can i proceed further with Zynq FPGA and AWR2243Boost.

    Hi,
    Interfacing an FPGA to AWR2243BOOST EVM is a complex task because one would need to implement the mmWave Protocol on the FPGA.

    I think it will be easier to capture raw data from the AWR2243BOOST EVM and post process the data with Matlab or Python.

    Thank you

    Hi Cesar,

    As we have procured multiple of TI AWR2243BOOST for our application so is it suitable to use any ARM cortex M4 or similar processor to capture the digital data from the  AWR2243BOOST EVM and further process for the  range application or any in same processor (STM32 ARM based).

    ultimately i want to use existing device with AWR2243Boost as STM 32 ARM based system , any PCB based processor or FPGA , which is more suitable option.

    Hi,

    We provide a demo in the SDK4.x that runs on AWR2243BOOST + AM273x EVM. I think this is a good example to see how the protocol is implemented on a processor.

    You will need to download the SDK v 4.5.0.2

    MMWAVE-MCUPLUS-SDK Software development kit (SDK) | TI.com

    After installing the SDK, the demo is provided in 

    C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_05_00_02\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_05_00_02\ti\demo\am273x\mmw

    If you want to run the demo you would need to purchase the AM273x EVM.

    The demo doc can be found here

    mmWave SDK Module Documentation

    Thank you
    Cesar

    Hi Cesar, Thanks

    by mistake latest thread deleted , can you please resend the answer , as i asked in last thread which is best option processor or xilinx FPGA? and if i want to use either of one ,

    Hi,

    I recommend you check previous similar threads using google site search

    site e2e.ti.com mmwavelink porting

    There is also a porting user guide provided in 

    C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_05_00_02\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_05_00_02\ti\control\mmwavelink\docs\doxygen\html\index.html

    The host processor must support following

    • CSI2 Rx
    • SPI
    • GPIO

    Thank you
    Cesar
