CCS/IWR1443BOOST: How to read streaming data on PC through the dev-pack?

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I was running the capture demo for IWR1443 and succeed in the memory capture procedure to get the data in L3 RAM using CCS.

However, I have no idea how to read the streaming data using the provided micro USB on dev-pack when I tried the streaming over LVDS mode.

1. I have connected the dev-pack with the IWR1443 correctly and connected the dev-pack with PC using micro USB.

2. I have connected the IWR1443 with the CCS in the debug mode and run the capture demo .xer4f as instructed in the user guide.

3. I have installed the USB port drivers that the dev-pack needs and the 4 COM ports can be found in the devices of PC.

4. I have followed the instructions in the user guide and successfully sent the CLI commands. 

May I know what the next step is? The user guide ended there.

If I was supposed to read the data using Tera Term with COM5 or COM6 here, may I know the configuration for the port? like the baud rate and so on.

Best,

Zhu

  • Hello Zhu,

    You should be able to see that data over the Auxiliary Data Port over Tera Term. Try connecting to the Data Port in Tera Term and setting the baud rate to 115200. All other settings can be left as default. After sending the config over the UART port you should start to see data on the data port.

  • Hi Adrian,

    Thanks for your reply. I can get the Data through Auxiliary Data Port now.

    Since the data still comes out from data port from IWR1443 Eva Module, may I ask why do we need the devpack and the csi/lvds in the capture mode? Is the ADC data too large? So we have to store them temporary in the devpack before sending it back to IWR1443 and the PC afterwards?

    Best,

  • Hello Zhu,

    The devpack provides an interface between the IWR1443 and PC for the :

    - SPI, GPIO controls, and UART loggers
    - 60-pin high-density (HD) connectors to get high-speed ADC data over MIPI-CSI-2 or LVDS interface
    - 120-pin connector to interface with data capture board TSW1400EVM

    Regards,
