AWR1243: Trace Log Output with Radar Studio

Part Number: AWR1243


Hi:

Looking through the trace.txt file, after the RFPOWERUPDONE_SB, there is following communication:

[WR] 0x1234 0x4321 0x05C1 0x0012 0x1000 0x0000 0x0001 0xEA2B 0x02E9 0x0004 0xFD3

Host Interrupt Received

[WR] 0x5678 0x8765

[WR] 0xFFFF 0xFFFF 0xFFFF  0xFFFF 0xFFFF 0xFFFF

In the interface control document, the 0x02E9 sub block is part of the reserved set. Can you please provide information about this subblock and its contents ? 

From the interface control doc:

5.11 Sub blocks related to AWR_RF_MISC_CONF_GET_MSG

5.11.1 Sub block 0x02E0 to 0x2E9 – RESERVED


Thank you,


RJ

    Hello RJ,

    The SB related to "0x02E9" is used internally for digital monitoring and the device status.

    The details of some of these message will be made available along with the production devices.

    Thanks,

    Raghu

    Thank you for the reply, Raghu.

    Follow-up question:

    Will this require another API that the system will need to call ? From the SPI messages, it seems like the host is sending a command to the chip to perform digital monitoring (0x1234 0x4321 message) with 0x2E9 subblock and chip responds back with an ack message with the associated contents that go with 0x2E9 subblocks.

    When will this API shared with the customers ?

    Or this sequence is bundled in with RF_POWERUP_MSG ?

    Thank you,

    RJ

    Hello RJ,

    The message 0x02E9 is for internal use. You do not need to include this message in your system.

    The digital and status monitoring messages are  work in progress, it will be shared in the upcoming SDK releases or in the production release.

    Thanks,

    Raghu

    Thank you for the reply, Raghu.

    If I understand correctly, if the AWR1243 is connected to our host processor, I do not need to worry about issuing this command related to 0x02E9 sub-block. This sub-block will be executing internally to the chip without any intervention by the user.

    Please confirm if my understanding about this is correct.

    Thank you,

    RJ
