AWR1642BOOST: Programming with Energia

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA, AWR1642

Hello,

I am using the AWR1642BOOST in my project and I am integrating it with the MSP432P401R. I would like to know if I can use Energia Software to program the AWR432BOOST to measure the distance.

Thanks

    HI,

    the AWR platform is not supported by Energia today.

    What are you trying to achieve? This feature may already be supported by the oob demo

    thank you

    I want to measure the distance of a car that is travelling in front using the mmWave sensor and if the distance is less than a particular distance, then I want to activate the alarm buzzer.

    You will need to use Code Composer Studio (CCS) to program AWR1642BOOST EVM to implement this project. You can use the C674x DSP on the AWR1642 to perform the analysis on each frame of data. You can perform this check in a custom implementation of the inter-frame processing function which you can find in our mmWave SDK. You can use the out-of-box demo software code as a starting point. You can then you one of the serial transmission protocols (UART, SPI, I2C) to communicate with the MSP432 device.

    I have started with the out of box demo. It was very good place to start using the AWR1642BOOST. I am not sure if AWR1642BOOST is a master or a slave and how can I find it? Also is there any example that would help me to connect the AWR1642BOOST to anyother device other than computer? it would help me understand the process and help me connect the MSP432 to the mmWawe sensor.

    The AWR1642 is designed to operate as a fully independent device. The on-board DSP processor provides the necessary processing capabilities to analyze the data received by the device. In this particular case, the AWR1642BOOST device acts as the master device and sends out a signal to the MSP432. The MSP432 acts as a slave device in this particular scenario. The mmWave SDK provides examples for these peripherals in the C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_<version>\packages\ti\drivers location.
