AWR1243: How to use the test program in the mmwave_sdk

Part Number: AWR1243
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

I found a list of test programs in the mmwave_sdk folder.
And I found a chapter in the mmwave_sdk_user_guide called "How to connect mmWave EVM to CCS using JTAG".
So I have the following questions:
1, Can I import the test program into CCS, like a normal DSP or MCU project?
2, As you can see, I want to implement the processing of AWR1243's data with an external DSP. In addition to the programs in the mmwave_sdk, can I get any other help related to MMW programming?

  • No, the sdk does not apply to 1243 which is a sensor only device. It does not include a programmable core open to user.

    Thank you

  • Thank you very much for answer my questions.

    Maybe I didn't describe the problem clearly.
    My ultimate goal is to use a custom AWR1243 MMW radar system.
    Before that, I will use the AWR1642 development board provided by TI for preliminary development.
    That's why I asked the two questions above.

  • Hi,

    Which tests do you have in mind? The driver unit tests included in the SDK will not apply to AWR1243.

    thank you

  • Hi,

    Thank you for your kind help.

    I have realized the application of mmwavelink with the help of TI engineers.
    So I prefer to get some help with signal processing.
    For example, I found A project called "srrdemo_16xx_dss" on the official website. This project uses the mmwavesdk.
    Although it runs on the AWR1642 platform, but the way it was designed inspired me a lot.


    I found some test programs in the mmwavesdk folder. Its absolute path in my computer is "C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_03_00_03\packages\ti\alg\mmwavelib\test".
    such as, lib_cfaros_test, lib_peakpruning_test.

    I'd like some help with the above mmwavelib test.
    I was able to refer to the project for data processing on an external DSP.

    thank you

  • Hi,

    The mmwavelib tests are built using make files as described in the mmwave SDK UG.

    If you wish to create a CCS project please see following

    Thank you

  • Hi,

    I'm sorry that I didn't express the problem clearly before. It takes a lot of your time.

    This answer is the one I expected.

    thank you
