Compiler/DCA1000EVM: If the DCA1000EVM can be connected and controlled by C?

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hello, our  project need to control the mmwave radar front end AWR1243BOOST then acquire the ADC data from  AWR1243BOOST and save as a data file based on  C Source code provided by TI, similar to the mmwavelin_example.

Our current hardware settings are AWR1243BOOST + DevPack + TSW1400 + PC.

From technical documents, we know the control of AWR1243BOOST can be realized by mmwavelin_example which could be developed with C.

But the TSW1400 must be controlled by the software HSDC Pro.

We plan to modify the DAQ card.

We Know the AWR1243BOOST and DCA1000EVM can be controlled by mmWave Studio.

We want to know if TI provide the C source code to control DCA1000EVM.

    Xia,

    Since TI provides a complete software evaluation tool with mmWave Studio, there are no plans to provide any C source code to control the DCA1000EVM. mmWave Studio provides all of the functionality needed for control TI's mmWave devices and the DCA1000 in a single GUI. Please keep in mind that mmWave Studio is an RF evaluation tool and should not be considered for use in a final application.

    There is functionality to control mmWave Studio using MATLAB. This issue has been previously addressed on this forum and you can search through the mmWave Sensors forum to find answers related to controlling mmWave Studio through MATLAB.

    Hello Kyle:

    Thanks for your reply. could you tell me if TI have a ADC capture card which can be controlled by C code to capture data from the AWR1243.

    Xia,

    The only hardware platforms that are available currently to capture raw data are the TSW1400 and the DCA1000. The TSW1400 device is controlled through a combination of the HSDC Pro and mmWave Studio software tools. The DCA1000 device is controlled through the mmWave Studio software tool.
