IWR1642BOOST 5449600473

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642BOOST

HI ,

I want co connect iwr1642boost via arduino how can i send .cfg file & read the data (like you did in counting people lab via matlab)? even if i connect the arduino UART-USB to connect J8 (on IWR1642BOOST) so it does not recognize it (you dont have driver to arduino / arduino library that i can use).

other quistion : you have a driver that i can install so i could read the data from IWR1642BOOST (via XDS110 PORTS that do work for me in windows) to RaspbarryPI? 

the goal is to be able to send cfg file and read the data from IWR1642BOOST (like you did in the counting people lab (lab 11) ' matlab) without Using windows computer (eg arduino or raspbarry pi ). my problen is that when im using Rasbbarry PI 2 Model B it dosent recognize the 2 "COM PORTS" XDS110 Class Application/User UART & XDS110 Class Auxiliary Data Port. (when Rasbbarry PI 2 Model B i will just overwrite your matlab code to  python ) .

what can i do ????? im desperatly needs help.

 

  • Hi Oren,

    The mmWave EVM exposes two COM ports over USB (i.e. UART over USB) for control and data communication with the PC. The serial to USB conversion is handled by the TI TM4C129 Tiva Series microcontroller onboard the EVM which provides the XDS110 JTAG as well UART over USB capability. There is no special driver needed on the mmWave side.

    The PC or Linux machine however needs to be able to support the particular USB controller and enumerate the serial ports. On Ubuntu the COM ports are enumerated as /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1 devices. We have not interfaced the IWR1642BOOST EVM with Arduino or RaspberryPI boards so I can only provide my understanding of the process: Typically, the support for a USB controller needs to be enabled in the Kernel and so you may need to re-compile the RaspberryPI linux kernel to add support for the above device. I would suggest you to ask this question in the Micro-controllers forum (link provided below):
