AWR1642BOOST: Connect AWR1642 and computer with XDS560v2

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642,

I want to read the raw data to the computer from AWR1642 with XDS560v, and use the raw data to do something not only for debug, can I do that?

I knew the XDS560v that is just for debugging, but I need to read raw data from AWR1642 and send the data to the computer for computing. How can I do that?

    HI,

    In order to read raw data you would need a DCA1000 capture card.

    Without the Capture Card you would only be able to capture 1 frame of data using CCS.

    One frame of data would be sufficient to analyze static objects.

    Is one frame of raw data sufficient for you?

    thank you

    Hello,

    It's must use the DCA1000 capture card right? Does it have another solution? 

    And if I use the DCA1000 capture card which type of the raw data I can get. Can it load in C or Matlab code as a input data?

    How can I capture 1 frame of data using CCS?

    Hi,
     
    Yes, with DCA1000 you can capture data in binary format and open and process the data in Python, Matlab, C…
     
    With CCS, you will need to run one of the demos, set a breakpoint in the code and use CCS feature to Save a Memory Range to a bin file.
     
    Please note that you will be able to save ONLY the data after the 1D FFT. You will not be able to save the raw data before the 1D FFT because our processing algorithms perform the 1D FFT in line for each chirp and do not save the full raw data for one frame.
     
    If you think that saving one frame of 1D FFT data will be useful, please let me know and I will provide you with more steps.
     
    Thank you

    Thanks for your answer,

    My object is to capture the raw data or the data has been processing by DSP, and the limit is the transfer speed need to higher than 300 Mbps.

    I want to know whether I can read data by LVDS from AWR1642 when the data has been processing in AWR1642boost DSP?

    I also want to know  what is 1 frame of data in CCS? Is it equal a mmWave's period?

    Hi,

    Question:

    I also want to know  what is 1 frame of data in CCS? Is it equal a mmWave's period?

    Answer:

    The frame is the data unit used by a mmWave sensor The duration of the frame is configured by the user. During a Frame there is an Acquisition Period when the ADC data is received and an Inter Frame Period when the data is processed.

    Question:

    I want to know whether I can read data by LVDS from AWR1642 when the data has been processing in AWR1642boost DSP?

    Answer:

    Yes, you can but you will need a DCA1000 processing card
