IWR1443BOOST: FFT data from all four receive channels

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST

Hi,

I’m using mmw demo application.

I use two configuration files
First is profile_2d.cfg. It’s from mmw demo folder.
C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_01_01_00_02\packages\ti\demo\xwr14xx\mmw\profiles

Second I get from mmWave Demo Visualizer


sensorStop

dfeDataOutputMode 1
channelCfg 2 1 0
adcCfg 2 1
adcbufCfg 0 1 0 1
profileCfg 0 77 916 7 57.14 0 0 70 1 240 4884 0 0 30

measureRangeBiasAndRxChanPhase 0 1.5 0.2
sensorStart

First profile have four receive channels     channelCfg 15 5 0
Second profile have one receive channel  channelCfg 2 1 0

I read data from IWR1443BOOST via my software.
But Range Profile structures have equal length 512 bytes l in both cases.
Is it possible to get FFT or ADC data from all four receive channels simultaneously?

  • Hi,

    When multiple receivers are enabled, the ADC buffer will contain the data from all the channels.

    It is not possible to transfer the entire ADC or FFT buffers data real time through the UART communication used by the mmw demo.

    This is the reason why the mmw demo provides only the point cloud output.

    Please refer to the mmw demo documentation for more information.

    Thank you
