AWR1243BOOST: configuration of csi-2 data format for RAW8

Part Number: AWR1243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1443, AWR1243, MMWAVE-DFP

Hi,

I want to know in AWR 1243, if I want to configure csi-2 data format to RAW8/12/16 then how can i do it? and what is default data format for csi-2 interface, how can i check data format ?

in mmwave_dfp_00_07_00_04setup, there are two firmware are mentioned. one is under rfevaluation firmware, and second is firmware.

I have small doubt about which firmware should be flashed to check raw data on csi-2 interface.

can we generate bins to flash in AWR1243 using Code composer studio with sdk set up of AWR1443 ?

Regards,

Sarang

Sarang,

You can configure the AWR1243 to give out data over CSI-2 using the RadarStudio. By changing the "Data Path" to "CSI2" .

But the data coming over CSI2 cannot be captured by the TSW1400EVM (as it is LVDS only).

You may need to platforms that support CSI2 reception to process the CSI2 data. There are TI design Network partners like D3 Engineering which have the TDA3x RVP platforms which receive the CSI2 data .

All the firmware in the MMWAVE-DFP support the CSI2 data format.

AWR1243 is closed front end device and all the configurations happen via the API commands to the front end over SPI interface from an external host. You cannot flash the binaries from the SDK to the AWR1243.

Thanks,

Raghu

Thank you Raghu,

I am using RADAR Studio, but I want to know how I can select data format to RAW8 or 12 or 16 over csi-2, because this configuration is not present in configuration setup, also default data format over csi-2 interface for the same. how can we know that.

Hello Sarang,

The CSI2 supported formats are RAW8, RAW12, RAW14 .

In the RadarStudio , the ADC Config "Bits:16" is sent out of the device as RAW8 data.

The RAW12 and RAW14 are "Bits:12" and "Bits:14" respectively.

Thanks,

Raghu

Hi Raghu,

I am using mmwavelink_example to configure AWR1243, I wanted to make some change in mmwaveconfig.txt file to enable csi data lane config, by default it is using LVDS so which command I can use in this file to change it to get CSI Data.

#LVDS Lane Config parameters, please modify if needed.
#rlDevLvdsLaneCfg_t
#
laneFmtMap=0;
laneParamCfg=1;
#END

I want to change above script to get data as csi-2.

Hello Sarang,

You will need to do below highlighted change for the selecting the CSI interface(in rlDevDataPathCfg_t).

#Data Path config parameters, please modify if needed

#rlDevDataPathCfg_t

# High Speed Interface, MIPI CSI2 = 0, LVDS = 1

intfSel=0;

# Packet Format 0, ADC Data only = 1

transferFmtPkt0=1;

# Packet Format 1, Not enabled.

transferFmtPkt1=0;

# Not Used

cqConfig=2;

#END

Rest of the settings(datarate, hsiclk) are same as done for LVDS.

Thanks,

Raghu
