Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243

Hi Expert,

I want to use a FPGA to control AWR1243, but there are two problems as follow:

1. I do not know the AWR1243 internal registers address, as well as the SPI protocol
2. I don't know how to use FPGA to download image files to external flash or internal RAM.
3, If I don't download the image files, the chip can work?
I'm looking forward to your answers. Thank you very much.

The AWR1243 must be controlled through SPI interface from a host processor.

Please design your system with this requirement in mind.

Thank you

Cesar

Bebause we use a FPGA as a host processor，if you have the relevant information, pease email to me, thank you very much.

Hi,
Please check the AWR1243 datasheet regarding SPI timing information

www.ti.com/.../awr1243.pdf

Please check with the FPGA manufacturer for further information about the FPGA

thank you

Please also download the mmWave Device Firmware Package

www.ti.com/.../MMWAVE-DFP

In this package you will find included the "AWR1xx_Radar_Interface_Control.pdf" which describes the APIs used to interface to AWR1243

These APIs are implemented in the mmWave link library included in the package.

thank you

Thank you very much for your reply， sincerely，

and , I bought a set of evaluation board of tsw1400 + awr1243+mmwave-devpack, can you provide the FPGA HDL codes（ tsw1400, Stratix 4 ）?. I'm looking forward to your reply. Thank you .

Hi

The TSW1400 board is supported by the Data converters group. Please start a new thread regarding TSW1400 on that forum
