Hi,

I'm using AWR1843 EVM and now i'm trying to interface with other microcontrollers,I wanted to use SPI Protocol to transfer data ,where can i start with?

Thanks

Hi Vimal,

I assume you are planning to send object data from AWR1843 to external MCU.

So for this, you can use UART/SPI/CAN interface from the sensor. We already have one reference application uses CAN interface to send object data at TI-Rex.

If you want to use SPI for this purpose then I recommend to go over the SPI test application from SDK which provides the code to use SPI in Master/Slave mode even with MSP43x MCU.

Go over the document- C:/ti/mmwave_sdk_03_02_00_04/packages/ti/drivers/spi/docs/doxygen/html/index.html

and the test application at this path- C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_02_00_04\packages\ti\drivers\spi\test

Regards,

Jitendra

Thanks,

We are using more than 5 radars,can you suggest best interface to get the data with good data rate and concurrent data scanning of the radar?

This would help me in moving further.

Hi Vimal,

With AWR1843 you can use CAN/CAN-FD to connect all these device to same network and one central MCU (having CAN/CAN-FD) will collect all these data.
