IWR6843AOPEVM: IWR6843AOPEVM+mmWaveICBOOST+DCA1000:Control without mmWave STUDIO

HI,

You can use the command line from dos window to send LUA script like mentioned in the radar studio users guide section 23.  "Automation using LUA".   

Let me know if that works for you.

Best,

Zigang

Dear　Zigang-san;

Thank you for your quick support.

I think that LUA can be only used on mmWaveSTUDIO tool.

I don't want to use mmWave STUDIO tool.

Please tell me how to control from PC without mmWaveSTUDIO tool?

HI,

The only other way I know is through LVDS streaming of SDK out of box demo.  You will need to run out of box demo on EVM, and this out of box demo will do LVDS data streaming as well as point cloud detection.    And then you will connect DCA1000 with the ICbooster and EVM board.   And use DCA1000 CLI interface to get the raw data capture.  

However, out of box demo has more constrains then using radar studio, because of the memory and MIPs limitation.   

You can find the information on SDK users guide (C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_03_00_03\docs\mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf) section 3. 3. 2. mmWave demo with LVDS-based instrumentation

There are also CLI users guide at:

C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_00_00\mmWaveStudio\ReferenceCode\DCA1000\doc

Actually the source code is also available at

C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_00_00\mmWaveStudio\ReferenceCode\DCA1000\SourceCode

This source code is for advance users to modify the source code and generate their own application on data capture.  

Best,

Zigang

Dear Zigang-san;

Thank you for your information.

I think that I need to use mmWave link and DCA1000 CLI.

I would like to confirm my understanding.

Please see the following flowchart.

Is this correct?

Dear Zigang-san;

Thank you for kind support.

If possible, could you share the sample code about 1) ?

Hi, Masaaki:

If you are asking for the out of box demo code, you need to

1) Download the SDK 03.03.00.03 from http://software-dl.ti.com/ra-processors/esd/MMWAVE-SDK/latest/index_FDS.html

2) Download the mmwave industrial toolbox at: http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AJoMGA2ID9pCPWEKPi16wg__VLyFKFf__LATEST

Then in the industrial toolbox, you can look at the ODS out of box demo at: http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AHUVfZLNUKWpA43MPJTM7Q__VLyFKFf__LATEST

It provides detailed information on how to create ccs project for this demo.  Although this demo is for ODS antenna, but for the LVDS streaming part, it is all the same.   

IF you only want to find a binary to load, you can use the binary build for this demo located at:

C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_2_1\labs\out_of_box_demo\68xx_ods_point_cloud_demo\prebuilt_binaries

Best,

Zigang
