IWR6843: ByPassing MMWaveStudio

Part Number: IWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM, MMWAVEICBOOST,

Hi,

I want to get raw data using the new SDK without mmWaveStudio on the IWR6843ISK. Is there a way to do that?

My setup involves IWR6843ISK + MMWAVEICBOOST + DCA1000EVM.

I flashed the following images onto the IWR6843 in order to be able to run it out of the box but I am not sure where to read that data or if there is an executable I need to run?

C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_00_00\rf_eval_firmware\masterss\xwr68xx_masterss.bin

C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_00_00\rf_eval_firmware\radarss\xwr68xx_radarss.bin

 

Thanks!

  • HI, there:

    Mmwave SDK and radar studio together provide a method to capture raw ADC data through LVDS without radar studio.   The basic idea is to run SDK out of box demo on the target EVM. The out of box demo will detect point cloud and at the same time send out ADC raw data through LVDS.   At the same time users will use DCA1000 CLI control interface to control the DCA1000 to get data captured through LVDS lanes.

    Users can find some document on the SDK users guide on DCA1000 CLI control interface on section 3. 3. 2. mmWave demo with LVDS-based instrumentation/ The SDK users guide is located at: C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_03_00_03\docs

    Users can also find some guide on DCA1000 CLI interface radar studio package located at: C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_00_00\mmWaveStudio\ReferenceCode\DCA1000\Docs

    Let me know if this method works for you.  

    Best,
