AWR1243: Accessing ADC raw data through AWR1243 debug mode on LVDS

Kasra Haghighi

Part Number: AWR1243

Hi,

I need to enable AWR1243 or 1642 or 1443 to stream the ADC raw data in real-time through LVDS output. Could you please provide the firmware and/or commands for AWR. I know that currently this is done by DCA board and radar studio. However, I need the information for AWR part.

Hi,

How do you plan to capture the LVDS data?

The SDK 2.1 OOB demo provides an example to stream data through LVDS on xWR1642BOOST EVM

Thank you
Cesar

Kasra,

Please refer to the mmWave SDK User's Guide on how to enable raw ADC output through LVDS. This does not require a different firmware to enable this feature. The LVDS command is already included in the basic Out-of-Box demo configuration file.

Regards,
Kyle

Cesar,
I want to use it with the DCA1000 board. However, since the radar studio is only able to record the data in file, not to process it is unable to use the data on PC.

Kasra,

Please refer to this E2E post below that addresses all of the commands that are required to enable the high speed interface on AWR1243.
