AWR1243BOOST: awr1243boost

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

Hi,

1. what the role of DCA1000EVM  here , when I cant make a Object detection and distance calculation,

2. Awr1243 will send the raw data, through LVDS/CSI2 interface but what the DCAEVM1000 will do , its has a 2gb inbuilt ram for what purpose .

3.How to read the raw data came from Ethernet cable(xxxx.bin ), any format or standard procedure their, Because I don't want to use math lab provided in  mm studio..?

  • Hello Niranjan,

    1. As AWR1243 is front end only device, so only way to get the object result from this device is to capture the raw ADC data from AWR1243 over LVDS/CSI-2 interface at External Host Processor or PC, then do the post-processing on that ADC data to get the object results.

    2. Now, DCA1000EVM is one of the reference provided from TI to capture the raw ADC data over LVDS interface, where it captures those ADC data from mmwave sensor and send to PC over ethernet. Generation of ADC data is much faster so internally it has FPGA and RAM to pace up with that data generation.

    3. Easiest way to capture the raw ADC data from DCA1000EVM is via mmwave studio. But as an option, you can use separate exe to control & capture data from DCA1000EVM.

    Please refer C:\ti\mmwave_studio\mmWaveStudio\ReferenceCode\DCA1000\Docs\TI_DCA1000EVM_CLI_Software_UserGuide.pdf which explains usage of DCA1000EVM_CLI_Control.exe & DCA1000EVM_CLI_Record.exe tool (available under mmwavestudio\PostProc directory).

     You can use reference matlab script to post-process the data C:\ti\mmwave_studio_<ver>\mmWaveStudio\MatlabExamples\singlechip_raw_data_reader_example\

  • Hi,

    3) mathlab script will give the result of the rawdata.. but i need to use without PC.so im asking..how i can read the object detection in the raw data.any standformat their to read the incoming raw data..?

  • Hello Niranjan,

    Without PC you meant that using some external processor which would read raw ADC data from AWR device over CSI-2/LVDS.

    Please refer this thread for data format of streamed ADC data--
