IWR1642 raw data capture without mmWave Studio

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM, IWR1642, AWR1243

I want to capture raw data from IWR1642+DCA1000EVM with custom application rather than mmWave studio. Is there any possible ways to do this please?

I came across this thread https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/p/826017/3055751#3055751, but it seems this is for AWR sensor family. Can I do this on IWR1642? Thanks.

    Hello,

    Yes - this is supported in the latest version of mmWave Studio. Please ensure that you've downloaded the latest version 2.01.+.

    If you do so, you'll find the TI_DCA1000EVM_CLI_Software_UserGuide document at C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_00_00\mmWaveStudio\ReferenceCode\DCA1000 with details on enabling DCA1000 configuration wihtout mmWave studio. 

    There's also additional details in the corresponding latest mmWave SDK user's guide (3.0+).

    Hello AmandaN,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'm now able to capture raw data from DCA1000EVM with my own script, but I still need to configure and trigger IWR1642 with mmWave studio.

    I came across this thread https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/p/826017/3055751#3055751, which directs me to c:\ti\mmwave_dfp_01_02_05_01\ti\example\mmwavelink_example.

    However, I failed to apply this application on my IWR1642BOOST board as it seems to be dedicated for AWR1243.

    So I'm wondering could I manipulate IWR1642BOOST sensor with custom script in C++/C language? Or should I make some adaptions to this mmwavelink_example?

    Thanks again.

    Hello,

    Please refer to the previous links I provided which will show you how to configure the device by CLI so you can implement it in your own software.
