CCS/AWR1642: question about GPADC

HAVI HOUSTON

Part Number: AWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

1、how to use the GPADC by user aplication? the datasheet says that i can configureation and load data by API in DFP , but i cannot find the DFP in 1642 item,there's only 1243 have the mmWave Device Firmware Package . are 1243's DFP and 1642 's DFP is the same?where can find some demo about how to mainpulation it ?

2、on the datasheet chapter 7 :monitoring and Diagnostics ;there's list 32 items;the number 5 item ,if the supplies go out of range after the device is out of the safe operating state,it will be placed into the safe operating state by VMON;

what the safe operating state means? and if the chip goes into the safe operating state,what about my user aplication?

3、where can i find some demo about how to used thoes monitoring and Diagnostic mainpulation

Hi,

The DFP release includes also the xWR1642 platform.

The APIs to be used for the diagnostics are described in the

C:\ti\mmwave_dfp_01_00_00_01\docs\AWR1xx_Radar_Interface_Control.pdf

Even if there is no example provided you can experiment with the mmwave SDk code

We will provide you more information about the safe operating state shortly

thank you
Cesar

Hi,

Please refer to API example code in $MMWAVE_SDK\packages\ti\control\mmwavelink\test\common link_test.c

Refer to MmwaveLink_setGpAdcConfig function to understand how to use GPADC API. Similarly all APIs including monitoring is present along with example/test code.

After the API call, GPADC result is available as event. Refer to RL_RF_AE_GPADC_MEAS_DATA_SB event. Example code for the same is available in same file.

Let us know if you have more questions.

Regards,
Kaushal
