DCA1000EVM: Could I use awr1642 mmw demo bin to stream data through LVDS to DCA1000EVM?

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642,

Hi, 

I was able to stream user data through UART communication with AWR1642 and AWR1642 DEMO bin file which is included in SDK. And in sdk, it says that awr1642 only needs one bin file to operate demo version.

However, when i put this file to use DCA1000EVM and mmwave studio, it doesn't operate unlike use AWR1642 only.

In mmwave studio user guide, it says to use two files that are included in mmwave studio folder. 

But i am going to modify some data path and output by change some code in SDK demo while parsing those data through lvds.

So how could i use sdk demo bin file while using mmwave studio to parse user data through lvds?

Thanks

  • Hi,
    mmw demo provides CLI commands to enable LVDS streaming.
    Please follow this thread- If you want to capture LVDS data from mmw demo application with DCA1000EVM

    For AWR1642 it requires MetaImage binary which contains MSS, BSS and DSS images in a single file.

    Whereas with mmWave Studio it requires to download only MSS and BSS images to its RAM location, so you see two different binary files in rf_eval folder of mmWav Studio installation.

    So with the help of above thread link you can capture the raw data from mmw demo using DCA1000EVM.
