AWR1243: How to send fixed patten in CSI-2/LVDS in radar studio?

Hi Cesar,
Do we have a tab in radar studio to do this test?

Thanks,
Adam

No

Hi Cesar,

mmwave_studio_01_00_00_00 has the tab, but the configuration have a little different with your recommended setting.

could you please check if my setting on radar studio is same with your recommend setting? Thanks.

Does it means it only send 1 frame data though CSI2?

The data size is 256 (points) * 8 (4*2 IQ channel) * 128 (chirps) * 2 (ADC 16bit = 2 bytes)

When I set the Number of test pattern package to 0, is that means the data on CSI2 is continuous?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Wesley

Yes, you are right, sorry for the confusion.

It is useful to understand how mmWave studio fields map to the APIs

in the mmWave studio cfg, TestPattern Pkts is set to 128 (each pkt is a chirp).

When TestPattern Pkts is set to 0, it should be CSI2 Continuous. However, we tested this value and we noticed that there are some issues, so Continuous Mode is not supported today.

I need to check on the total data size and get back to you

thank you
cesar


Note that the comment /*Infinite*/In the code snipped is not correct.

It should be as follows:

/** @fn int Link_testPatternConfig(unsigned char deviceMap)
*
* @brief Test Pattern configuration API.
*
* @param[in] deviceMap - Device Index
*
* @return int Success - 0, Failure - Error Code
*
* Test Pattern configuration API.
*/
int Link_testPatternConfig(unsigned char deviceMap)
{
int retVal = RL_RET_CODE_OK;
/*Test Pattern configuration*/
rltestPattern_t testPatternCfgArgs = {0};
testPatternCfgArgs.numTestPtrnPkts = 128; /* 128 packets */
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatGenCtrl = 0x1; /* Enable */
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatGenTime = 32; /* 100 Clocks (@200 MHZ) */
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatrnPktSize = 256; /* Packet Size */
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatRx0Icfg = 0xA;
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatRx1Icfg = 0xA;
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatRx2Icfg = 0xA;
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatRx3Icfg = 0xA;
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatRx0Qcfg = 0xB;
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatRx1Qcfg = 0xB;
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatRx2Qcfg = 0xB;
testPatternCfgArgs.testPatRx3Qcfg = 0xB;

retVal = rlDeviceSetTestPatternConfig(1U, &testPatternCfgArgs);
if (retVal != RL_RET_CODE_OK)
{
Link_log (Link_LogLevel_ERROR,"Test Pattern config failed for deviceMap %u with error code %d\n",
1, retVal);
return -1;
}
else
{
Link_log (Link_LogLevel_INFO,"Test Pattern config success for deviceMap %u\n", 1);
