Compiler/DCA1000EVM: LVDS stream activation for vital signs

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642BOOST

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hello,

I am working on aquisition of ADC data from Awr1642Boost for vital signs using DCA1000.

I am able to get raw data from DCA using MmwaveStudio.

So if i configure Awr1642boost  after adding "lvdsStreamCfg -1 1 0 1" command in the configuration file, and after that if i follow the MmWaveStudio method, will it work?

If not then what is the procedure for getting Vital Signs raw data?

Thank You,

Aditi Karande

  • Hi,

    Steps to collect raw data using the mmWave SDK CLI interface is described in the mmWave SDK UG

    Please follow those steps and let us know if there are any questions

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_01\docs\mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf

    Thank you

  • Hello Cesar,

    I followed the steps given in mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf, and changed the configuration file accordingly.

    Now i wanted to configure Awr1642boost and DCA1000 and get adc data in python without using mmwave studio.

    But when i sent the updated config file to Awr1642boost it did'nt start lvds streaming.

    So am i missing here something?

    Thank You

  • Aditi,

    You also need to implement the LVDS functions in the Vital Signs lab itself. Changing the configuration file alone will not achieve your desired outcome. Please be aware of the SDK version that is used in the Vital Signs lab.

    You should look at the following source files found in the SDK Out-of-Box demo to understand the LVDS streaming better:

    1. mmw_lvds_stream.c

    2. mmw_lvds_stream.h

    These source files are found in this folder location in the latest SDK release:

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw\mss

    You should also review the "Streaming data over LVDS" section of the SDK Out-of-Box demo Doxygen found at this file location:

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw\docs\doxygen\html\index.html

  • Hello Kyle,

    Thank you for the detail information.

    I will implement those functions in vital sign lab.

    Kind Regards,
