AWR2243BOOST: PostProc of AWR2243BOOST

Part Number: AWR2243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2243

Tool/software:

Hi,

I’m working with the AWR2243BOOST and need to run the PostProc tool to evaluate. I followed the documentation to generate PostProc, and it worked the first time. However, after I deleted the file (adc_data.bin) from:

C:\ti\mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14\mmWaveStudio\PostProc

I haven’t been able to generate the dummy file again. Could you please let me know how to regenerate it and also clarify which window should generate this file?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    There is a LUA script provided that you can run to capture data.

    C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\Scripts\DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua

    Please follow instructions in the User Guide

    C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\docs\mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf

    Thank you
    Cesar

    Hi Cesar,


    Thanks for the quick reply.

    First, I used mmWave Studio 03.00.00.14. Is it compatible with the AWR2243 evaluation module or not?

    Please see the attached photo showing if the data I evaluated using PostProc.

    Second, I ran the LUA script from the following RadarAPI path (see attached photo):

    C:\ti\mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14\mmWaveStudio\Scripts

    However, the script did not stop running—it seemed to keep trying to download the firmware to the device.

    I also have another question: should I connect the RJ-45 Ethernet to the PC, even if I do not need to program the DAC1000 with the FPGA?

    Thanks in adavnce 

    best regards,

    Basem

    Please follow the instructions in this video:

    ttps://www.ti.com/video/5827389052001

    This video describes how to setup the capture manually using the GUI.

    You should follow these steps before we run the LUA script

    thank you

    Hi Cesar,

    Thanks for sharing. I noticed that the AWR2243 board has some scratches, corrosion, and areas that look close to chipping—both near the radar and in other places on the board. I’m not sure why this is the case; perhaps the board wasn’t fully cleaned before delivery.

    Is there a recommended way to clean or address this? I’m concerned that the issue might worsen over time and affect the performance of the MIMO radar.

    Please see the attached photos.

    Best regards,

    Basem

    HI,

    This is related to oxidation. This will not affect the functionality and does not need to be cleaned.

    I will close this thread now. 

    For new questions please start a new thread

    thank you
    Cesar
