CCS/IWR1443BOOST: send target data to UART port

Expert 1985 points
Part Number: IWR1443BOOST

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

How can I send the range, speed and other information of the targets  that sent to the mmWave_Demo_Visualizer, through UART port? Is there a project to do this?

Best regards,

Amin

  • Hello Amin,

    Currently, there is not a project to do this. However, if you view the main.c file of the mmWave demo code, you can see there is a function on line 849 called 'MmwDemo_transmitProcessedOutput'. This is the function that transmits detection data over uart. I would recommend looking at this function and the brief discussion of the function above it to understand how the device is transmitting the object data over UART.

    I would also recommend looking at this document: DataStructure_table.pdf

  • Hello Adrian,
    Thank you for your help. My goal is send target data to PIN NUMBER #6 TX from IWR (J6 connector).

    Now, I can't find UART port in the project.

    Best regards,

  • Hello,
    How can I transfer the target data to other UART port, directly with IWR? I would appreciate it if you can describe Detailed Read Flow or Detailed Operating Steps?

  • Hello,

    There is no way to send information?

  • Hello Amin,

    Sorry for the delayed response, I have been out of the office. From what I can see, it should not be an issue to transfer the UART data to pin 6. The demo is already configuring this pin as the UART in the code through the pinmux.

    I have contacted one of the designers of the EVM to verify. I will get back to you with an update as soon as possible.

    Regards,

  • Hello Amin,

    In the mmWave Demo the object data is sent out using the MSS logger UART. You can access this through pin 9 of jumper J5 by populating resistor R26.

  • Hello Adrian,
    Thank you for your help. Need to change the mmw-sdk program to send data through this line(MSS logger UART)?

  • Hello Adrian,

    My goal is to receive target data without need a computer USB port and XDS110 driver, for example: reading the target data with simple processor(other launchpad with UART port).
    Thank you.

  • Hello Amin,

    You should not have to make any modifications to the code. This is the default UART used to send object data so simply populating the resistor should allow you to access the data.
