CCS/AWR1843: AWR1843 set frame number issue

Part Number: AWR1843

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Dear ,

I develop the function about set frame number on AWR1843 module meets some issues.

After I set frame number and the sensor record the frame, the sensor will go into fails status. As in the sensor fails status, I send sensor start or sensor stop command will receive fails message.I want to ask the question is how to trigger the sensor after setting frame number on AWR1843 module.

Thank you.

  • Hi,

    Please use the mmWave SDK demo as an example .

    Usually the steps are

    - Profile Config

    - Chirp Config

    - Frame Config

    - Start Frame

    Thank you

  • HI Cesar,

    I use the mmwave SDK Demo function(SRR_MSS_CLIAdvancedFrameCfg()) to modify the frame number.

    I add the code in SRR_MSS_CLIAdvancedFrameCfg() as below:

    advFrameCfg.frameSeq.numFrames = 120;

    I hope to when I finish recording 120 frames, I can send senor start command to re-record new 120 frames without re-power AWR1843 module.

    But I find out the issue is send sensor start command, the module will return error message(start sensor fails).

    How to trigger the sensor after recording frame?

    Thank you very much.

  • You are using the Short Range Radar (SRR) demo from the Automotive Toolbox, not the SDK Out-of-Box Demo. The SRR_MSS_CLIAdvancedFrameCfg() function does not exist in the Out-of-Box Demo.

    You cannot use mmWave Studio with the SRR demo flashed to the device.

    You will need to use the standalone executable that controls the DCA1000 in order to capture information being sent out by the SRR demo. I would recommend that you try this on the Out-of-Box Demo first.

    Please review the documentation in both the latest releases of the SDK and mmWave Studio to understand how to capture data using the DCA1000.

    Your current setup will not get you the information you are looking for.

    Regards,
