Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

Hi,

I am working on the Driver vital signs monitoring using the AWR1642BOOST ES1.0 device. Wanted to know if it is possible to run the GUI on other display devices as well, like android phone or Vehicle infotainment display. If so, pls let me know the process.

Thanks.

    Hi Nalini,
    In demo AWR1642 sends data over UART which can be connected to external device instead of PC over UART Tx line of the device.
    And in case you want to display same on Android phone then either connect this UART Tx line physically to phone or connect this UART Tx line to some blutooth or wireless device where this data will be send further to phone. And in case of Infotainment display this Tx line can be connected physically to it (with GND line).

    Dirver Vital sign Visualizer source code is available on TI-Rex where you can get the reference code to implement same on either phone/infotainment display.

    Hi Jitendra,

    Thanks for replying. Can I get a little more detailed information on directly connecting the UART output to display/android phone, like what would be the requirements that need to be present on the display or the android phone? or any software that needs to be installed on the device as we have installed a great deal of packages and supporting content for running the demo on PC. Also is physical connection to Android phone supposed to be done using an OTG ? And can you please specify the path of source code that is to be implemented on the phone.

    If you have any supporting documents, diagrams, links etc, please share. Also if possible, please share your email id. 

    Thank you.

    AWR1642BOOST provides multiple interface as UART/SPI/CAN which can be used to connect with any display board where that board should have same type of interface available. On AWR1642BOOST these lines are available on 2X10 connector J5/J6 where you can do the blue wiring with external display board (along with ground connection).

    Now to connect with Android phone, physical connection with AWR1642 may not possible as it requires corresponding interface drivers at Android which may not avaialble.
    But you can make a wireless connection b/w ANdroid phone and AWR1642BOOST, where AWR1642BOOST will connect to a wireless device (e.g. TI SimpleLink Wi-FI/BLE Launchpad) where for example UART lines (and GND) will connect with Wireless device and Wireless device will make further send this data to Android Phone over Wireless communication.

    With AWR1642 device we don't any official document available but with above suggestion you will surely make connection as per your need.
