DCA1000EVM: multi-radar processing

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2243, AWR1243BOOST, AWR1243

Hi


We are looking for an evaluation module for an Automotive processor that can control multiple radar modules via USB(UART) and processes raw data sent via Gigabit Ethernet.

We assume as the radar module the following:

   TI mmWave Sensor EVM(such as AWR2243 EVM) + DCA1000EVM

It seems that some of them are introduced on the following website, but I don't understand yet if there is one that meets our requirements.

Therefore, I would like to introduce if there is an evaluation kit that can control multiple RADAR EVM+DCA1000EVM and process multiple raw data via GbE.

Best regards,

    Hello Masahi-san,

    DCA1000EVM can be connected with only single AWR1243BOOST.

    You can check TDA2x processor for that purpose which can connect with 4 AWR1243 and capture data over CSI-2 interface.

    With Multiple radar modules do you mean: cascade (all sensors together) or satellite mode (scattered across the places)?

    Hello Mr.Jitendra

    Thank you for reply.

    OK. Yes, I understand.

    I mean satellite mode in this case, something like this,

    Are there any solutions, that is an evaluation module based on TDAxx processor match the above requirement?

    I have added figure(rough diagram) because the diagram above is cluttered.

    Hello,

    For this you need to control multiple DCA1000 having different Static IP address.

    Default DCA1000 support fix static IP address and Port.

    I would suggest to go over the DCA1000 doc and source code available in the mmWave Studio installation.

    <mmwave studio installation path>\mmwaveStudio\postproc\DCA1000EVM_CLI_Control.exe, DCA1000EVM_CLI_Record.exe

    Please refer TI_DCA1000EVM_CLI_Software_DeveloperGuide.pdf, TI_DCA1000EVM_CLI_Software_UserGuide.pdf from <studio install>\mmWaveStudio\ReferenceCode\DCA1000\Docs 

    And source code mmWaveStudio\ReferenceCode\DCA1000\SourceCode

    DCA1000 requires an Ethernet Command sequence to configure and trigger the capture which you can send from TDAxx processor.

    Regards,

    Jitendra
