RTOS/AWR1642BOOST: AWR1642BOOST: collect raw ADC data for vital signs using DCA1000EVM

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM,

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi,

with mmwave studio +AWR1642BOOSTDCA1000EVM + evaluation firmware(~\mmwave_studio_<ver>\rf_eval_firmware), i am able to get RAW ADC data. Is it possible to collect raw ADC data with this way for vital signs also? if yes what are the firmware files i have to load for vital signs?

These are the files generated in CCS while building vital signs,

MSS -  vitalSigns_16xx_mss.bin, vitalSigns_16xx.bin,  vitalSigns_16xx_mss.xer4f

DSS -  vitalSigns_16xx_dss.bin, vitalSigns_16xx_dss.xe674


Thanks,
Arun

  • Hello Arun,
    To send raw ADC data you need to amend vital sign demo by adding LVDS streaming code (taking reference from mmw demo). Search this forum where many people has added LVDS streaming feature to their application taking reference from mmw demo application.

    And to capture with mmWaveStudio+DCA1000EVM+AWR1642BOOST, please refer this thread

    I have searched the forum but didn't get clear idea. Please let me know the code changes required and procedure to collect raw ADC data. Is there any proper documentation for this?


    Thanks,

  • Hi Arun,
    mmw demo from SDK 2.1 has LVDS streaming implemented in it. You need to take this as reference and add lvds streaming feature to Vital sign demo by yourself.
    This feature needs to implemented at DSS side with the help of mmw\dss\dss_lvds_stream.c file.

    Same process will allow you to collect raw data for vital signs. The only different is the chirp configuration. This is provided in the vital signs lab

    thank you
