AWR1243: Cascade EVM TCP/IP configuration

Part Number: AWR1243
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA2,

Hello,

We have the AWR1243 Cascade Radar EVM with the TDA2. The VSDK is build and the SD card is booting. Now we want to run the Usecase "a: Cascade Radar (4 AWR1243) Capture + Radar Object Detect (DSP) + NetworkTx (TDA2xx Only)" with the Matlab demo. An ethernet cable is connect to our DHCP LAN. The IP address is showing 0.0.0.0. How to configure the IP address?

Can you please check if the configuration in your config file (if you are using the default it should be C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_07_00_00\vision_sdk\apps\configs\tda2xx_cascade_bios_radar\cfg.mk) is as below:

#
# Supported values: ipu1_0 ipu1_1 none
#
NDK_PROC_TO_USE=ipu1_1

#Used to control TFDTP stack (supported values: yes no)
NSP_TFDTP_INCLUDE=yes

Thanks and Regards

Yes this file matches:

# Supported values: ipu1_0 ipu1_1 none
#
NDK_PROC_TO_USE=ipu1_1

#Used to control TFDTP stack (supported values: yes no)
NSP_TFDTP_INCLUDE=yes

I started with a fresh pull of PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_07_00_00 so no changes expect to build tda2xx_cascade_bios_radar for this usecase.

Please point me to the right bring up resource to configure this Cascade EVM for connecting to the usecase demo from Matlab on my Windows laptop over an ethernet cable.

Thank you!

I will ask one of our colleauges to share a binary with you where the IP address comes up fine at our end. With this you can check whether the issue is in your setup or outside your setup.

While my colleague prepares this, can you also please try static IP address?

The steps are mentioned in Section 1.2 Finding IP address of the target EVM in vision_sdk\docs\FeatureSpecificUserGuides\VisionSDK_UserGuide_NetworkTools.pdf

Thanks and Regards

Hi Zach,

Can you please try with attached image.

If you do not get the ip addr then please try to remove and connect back again and then check.

Anuj,

The IP address is not being assigned with the MLO and AppImage you sent. Tested on both of you TDA2 EVMs. If you are talking about the RJ45 Ethernet cable, I tried remove and connect back again then check with no IP address.

It seems to report a good link status. Is it possible the printf of ip address 0.0.0.0 is incorrect? From the Matlab demo M file I am expecting an ip address at 128.247.75.78 but pinging address this is also a fail.

What next?

Thanks,

Zach

1. Enable static ip by making enableStaticIpEth0 = 1 in NDK_config.cfg located at <path>\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_07_01_00\vision_sdk\links_fw\src\rtos\bios_app_common\tda2xx\cfg

2. Recompile your code to generate a new AppImage to use to bootup from SD card. On bootup, 192.168.1.200 will be assigned to interface 1.

3. Set a static ip address on the ethernet port on your remote pc as 192.168.1.x where 1<x<256 and x != 200
