AWR1642BOOST: Please help me

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, MMWAVE-SDK

Hi, there

I am working with AWR1642 BOOST mmWaveSensor.  I needs to export the data from High Accuracy Visualizer so that I can use this data in Matlab.

howere, I can not export the data from High Accuracy Visualizer. Please get back to me as details as possible so i can follow your instruction.

how can I export the raw data set from High Accuracy Visualizer and how can I use this raw data in Matlab.

best regards,

Doojin

  • Hello Doojin,

    Have you tried using the Capture demo available in the MMWAVE-SDK ?
    Please check "3. 4. 3. Capture demo for xWR16xx" in the mmwave-sdk-user-guide on how to collect the frame data and post-process using Matlab.

    Thanks,
    Raghu
  • Dear Raghu,

    thansk for the information. However where is the mmwave-sdk-user-guid. Is this mmWave Demo Visualizer?

    I searched the mmwave demo visualizer and there is only 3.4 chaper described CPU Load.

    please get back to me more detailed information so i could start the work

    best regards,

    Doojin 

  • Hello Doojin,

    Please download the MMWAVE-SDK here .

    Once you install the MMWAVE-SDK, you will have a folder "docs" that includes the mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf .

    The mmwave demo visualizer is just an application that is used for configuration and visualization of the object data.

    Thanks,

    Raghu

  • hello, Raghu

    I downloaded the files and follows the instruction.

    however I am now hard time to save the ADC raw data in CCS file like as .dat

    please kindly let me know the next procedures to save the ADC raw data and where can I see the data files in CCS.

    in documents, there was very difficult in understanding what they say.

    here is what I done so for.

    please help on this problem

  • Hello Doojin,

    Please refer to "3. 3. 2. Capture Demo for xWR14xx" and "Memory capture procedure" (Page 14) of the mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf .
    That details out the procedure to save the ADC data from the CCS and analyse it offline.

  • hi Raghu,

    i read the document but still can not be working properly.

    Without powering off the board, connect the board to CCS. (See section How to connect xWR14xx/xWR16xx EVM to CCS
    using JTAG for details on how to connect to CCS). Load the symbols for the capture demo application using executable file
    provided at mmwave_sdk_<ver>\packages\ti\demo\xwr14xx\capture\xwr14xx_capture_demo_mss.xer4f.
    In CCS Expressions window, view the global variable gCaptureMCB and check DMA interrupt counter(dmaIntCounter) and
    chirp interrupt counter(chirpIntCounter) after sensorStart command. The chirpIntCounter should match the configuration. For
    the above configuration, the counter should be 128. The dmaIntCounter will be the actual number of DMA transfers
    Data generated can be saved from CCS and analyzed offline.
    Data is saved from L3 memory using global variable gDataCube. The size (CAPTURE_L3RAM_DATA_MEM_SIZE)
    is defined in mmwave_sdk_<ver>\packages\ti\demo\xwr14xx\capture\capture.h
    Select Tools -> save memory in file ccs_data.dat with format 16-bit Hex TI style, select memory location as
    gDataCube and size according to capture.h definition.
    Run mmwave_sdk_<ver>\packages\ti\demo\xwr14xx\capture\ gui\capture_demo.m in Matlab. The script is just an
    example for offline analyzing. The users are encouraged to re-use or create their own processing algorithms for this
    data

    i can not follow above statment so you should guide me as details as possible.
    after writting Teraterm code, what procedure should I do..
    very complicated
  • Hello Doojin,

    Are you able to connect and download capture demo bin to the EVM using the CCS ?
