TDC7201-ZAX-EVM: Send command to MSP via Backchannel UART

Roman Neeser

Part Number: TDC7201-ZAX-EVM

Dear all

I`ve got the TDC7201-ZAX-EVM and writing currently an enhanced GUI by myself to enable some functionality i need within my project.

Now i`ve got one question. I`ll get the TOF data via UART backchannel (enable uart stream), working fine. But are there any commands that I can send to the MSP, such as "start" and "stop" or one_shot function?

I checked the firmware files uart_commn.h / .c but i can`t find anything that handles data from UART. Just want to be sure that this is correct and i have not missed something.

Thanks & regards

Roman,

Please check the MSP420F5529 datasheet for the commands for UART communication.

Hi Bharat

Thanks for your reply.

I can`t find the answer that i am looking for in the document(s). To which section are you referring?
