IWR1443BOOST: How to send command\receive data via UART?

DOL_Peter

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST

Hi, Gents

I would like to send command\get data via the UART so I can make my upper software based on that.  I think it is possible, just as the mmwave demo visualization did. But I failed to find any materials describing this.

In the mmwave sdk user guild.pdf,  I found belowing in page 12:

In the background, GUI performs the following steps:

*******

Receives the data generated by the demo on the visualization/Data COM port and processes it to create various displays based on the GUI configuration in the cfg file.
The format of the data streamed out of the demo is documented in mmw demo's doxygen mmwave_sdk_<ver>\packages\ti\demo\<platform>\mmw\docs\doxygen\html\index.html under section: "Output information sent to host".

But I could not find the section "Output information sent to host". Can somebody help me on this? Or is there any other materials showing how to retrive data and send command via UART?

Super thanks.

    Hello,

    Yes, the SDK's demos do use the UART driver for commands and data, but it is probably a little more difficult to understand since it is somewhat spread out.  I would suggest taking a look at the UART driver's test code.  You should be able to get a quick idea of what is required to initialize the driver and make simple read and write calls.  The driver code test code I'm talking about is located here:

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_01_00_00_05\packages\ti\drivers\uart\test
