Hi,
We are planning to collect serial data from multiple AWR1642 devices on a truck for which USB is not suitable.
How should we proceed to view serial data ?

Hi Divya,
If you are trying to collect object data from different devices located at different end of the truck then best available interface it CAN/CAN-FD where you can set different msgID of each device to distinguish.

Hi Jitendra,
Is there any way to view/obtain serial data without using USB?

Hi Divya,
I don't fully understand your query. Do you need to capture all these data to PC then you need to use USB cable to capture it.
If you need to capture these data to some external MCU then you can directly connect that interface line (UART/CAN) to that MCU and capture the data.

Hi,
We would like to view the serial data (UART) on PC without connecting it through USB, so that we can later connect it to an external module.

Hi Divya,
To view UART data on PC you need some emulator to sample that data and view it in PC tool.
Best one what I think is to use UART to USB emulator what we have on EVM using XDS110 and grab the data.
And when you move same setup with external module then you need to remove XDS110 from the picture and connect UART Rx/Tx line directly to ext. module where this module can read/write data on this UART lines.

Hi,
1.It would be of great help to know how we can grab data from onboard XDS110 ?
2. Which are the GPIO pins that represent UART Rx/Tx lines,so that we can get data?

Hi Divya,
1. Onboard XDS110 converts UART to USB that goes to PC. You need to do the search online to find this solution by yourself.

2. Please refer to the AWR1642 datasheet and AWR1642BOOST schematic to find these pins.
