AWR1243BOOST: awr1243boost

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

Hi,

I have AWR1243-DCA1400 with Ethernet cable transfer the raw data along with MMStudio-GUI it displays the vechicle and distance.,this was the normal process.

Is it possible to make decision inside the AWR1243Booster-DCA1400 board, i,e.Vechile detection and distance., by implentation in DCA1400..?

if not then why they have used DCA1400 board,when we can implement the vechile detection and distance..?

is that possible if i use any python supporting board to capture the raw data and make our own mathworks for post processing..?

    Hi,

    If I understand correctly you are able to capture raw data with AWR1243+DCA1000. Is this correct?

    The AWR1243 is a sensor only platform that captures the radar signal. There is no processing that happens inside the sensor. So, the AWR1243 can't make the detection decisions. The AWR1243 sensor sends that data to a host that makes the decision.

    Yes, after capturing the raw data you can use any higher language such as matlab, python, C to process the capture data.

    Please review the mmWave FAQ linked at the end of this thread for more information about the raw data format.

    thank you

    As per  my understand ,is that the process in not happens in the DCA1000evm also..and Ethernet cable must as should to capture raw data..after capturing raw data,I can process as per my requirements,before that I can't do any processing inside that...

    Can I know how to read the raw data ,without using the MATLAB ...?

    Hi,
     
    The raw data is captured to a .bin file on the PC.
     
    You can use Python, Matlab, C …. to open and process this file. You don’t have to use Matlab, you can use any other language that can read a bin file
     
    Thank you

    Hi,

    1)Then whats DCA1000EVM role here , when i cant make a Object detection and distance calculation , because my question here is.

    awr1243Boost sends the single and recive the signals.TM4C1294XL is used to load the MSS & BSS firmware. DCA1000EVM will receive the configration commands from PC.

    so, The DCA1000EVM  will recevie the data from AWR1243 and will create a binary file... ..?

    Or The Binary file has been created inside AWR1243Booster , just DCA1000EVM will recive and transfer to PC thorugh Ethernet cable...?

    Yes,

    Your understanding is correct, the DCA1000EVM is used to transfer the raw data over Ethernet to the PC. The raw data is received on the PC and can be post processed using the Matlab integrated in mmWave Studio. The object detection and distance calculation will be performed on the PC by running the integrated Matlab in mmWave Studio

    thank you

    hi Cesar, 

    But I don't want to use the matlab as well as mmstudio, because I don't want to process that much AI .

    i Just need to read the pattern of raw data .how it defined the Object and calculate the distance. so i can implement myself own.

    can tell me the procedure to read the data as well as how it defined the object ..?

    I am sorry but I don't understand the following "how it defined the Object". Could you please provide more details?

    The raw data is ADC data that must be processed in order to detect the objects.

    The format of the raw data is defined in the mmWave Studio User's Guide, section 24.6:

    C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\docs\mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf

    See "Section 24.6 DCA1000 EVM capture format (xWR12xx/xWR14xx complex, 4 channel, 4 24.6lanes [Interleaved])"

    Thank you

    Hi,

    sorry if my statement wrong.i reference object as (vechile identity of vechile).and thanks i will check it out and get back to you.if i have any doubt.sorry for the late replay.
