Hi E2E,

Good day!

I just want to know if it is possible to configure IWR6843 through CAN interface?

Best regards,

Hi Franz,

IWR6843 isa completely programmable device which can load the image via flash, the example demos provided load the configuration via Uart to allow different sensing configurations.

These can be adapted to either receive them over other interface of choice available on device or use a fixed configuration by modification to code. Basically it is the implementation of user specific code that decides this and not a device level feature.

hope that helps.

Regards

Hi Vaibhav,

Thank you for your response.

How about using the CANFD interface? Is it possible to configure the IWR6843 through CANFD interface?

Best regards,

Franz

Hi Franz,

Yes, it is possible, but it is not trivial. First, you should familiarize yourself with the SDK's CAN driver test code, and the labs in the Automotive Toolbox that use CAN. Once you have gained expertise with using CAN, you will then need to replace or modify the existing CLI interface that uses UART. I haven't heard of anyone doing this before, so you'll be breaking new ground!

Another option is to embed your configuration within the MSS code, so that it starts running by itself upon powerup. There are different ways to do this, and several examples in the labs.
