DCA1000EVM: DCA1000+IWR1642 mmWave Studio:LVDS buffer full

user6470753
Prodigy 35 points
Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642,

Hardware:DCA1000+IWR1642 

Software:mmWave Studio

    When I clicked the DCA1000 ARM and Trigger Frame after all the steps following the mmWave Studio User's Guide,some problems appeared : " LVDS buffer full ", " Record Process : Timeout Error! System disconnected "

  Here's the Output of the mmWave Studio:

    HI, 

    Can you look through the DCA1000 training video at https://training.ti.com/dca1000-training-video

    In fact,I have seen it many times.

    I also tried to reduce  the periodicity in the radar studio sensorconfig settings,but it didn't work,after Trigger Frame ,the FPGA_ERR_LED would turn to red, and the LVDS buffer full still appeared in the output

    Hi, there:

    Can you install radar studio under c:\ti  directory instead of D:\ti directory?

    Best,

    I have tried this before,but it didn't work

    HI, there:

    Can you send me a picture of your setup before you trigger the capture?  I would like to check your switch settings on DCA1000.  It should look like this 

    Best,

    hi,

    Can i check if you manage to resolve the LVDS buffer full issue? 

    if yes, what is the root caused? 

    Best Regards,
    Felix

    I have another customer that see LVDS buffer full and see the error goes away when they remove the SD card.  Have not get updated from this user.

    I'm the user6470753,I just can't log in my account,and my campus mail can't receive the email (sad).so I registered another account.

    when I get the board from my teacher,there's no SD card,and it was used by schoolmates senior to me.So, I didn't change the setting of hardware.

    Please change the DCA1000 switch setting as the picture I sent before. 

    Please look through the capture issues in the DCA1000 debug handbook.

    But I shouldn't set it like that,If I  set the SW2.2 at pin2 following the picture,the data will be saved into the SD card,but I don't have SD card,so,instead,I

    should set it at pin15,then the data can be streamed over the network to the post PC.

    HI, there:

    We program sw2.5 to software control, so the other switch sw2 settings are in general ignored. 

    Check section 2.6 at: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruij4a/spruij4a.pdf?ts=1605558347677&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F

    hi Zi Gang,

    I am the DFAE helping to troubleshoot on this issue. So far, i have checked on their setting and find all HW setting and SW setting are correctly set.

    1. PC firewall is turn OFF

    2. In C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\Scripts\DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua, we have change the following: 

    1. Line 236: change package delay to 500us, (ar1.CaptureCardConfig_PacketDelay(500) == 0) 

    2. Line 243: added RSTD.Sleep(3000) below ar1.CaptureCardConfig_StartRecord line.

    if (ar1.CaptureCardConfig_PacketDelay(300) == 0) then

    WriteToLog("CaptureCardConfig_PacketDelay Success\n", "green")

    --Start Record ADC data
    ar1.CaptureCardConfig_StartRecord(adc_data_path, 1)
    RSTD.Sleep(3000)

    3. Run with DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua file. 

    4. RS232 communication is able to connect correct, ethernet port is able to read FPGA version as 2.8 correctly. 

    We have running out of clue what to try further to make this work, Also we noticed when we power up the DCA1000 board, the board temperate is terrible hot. IC temp around 84 deg C. is this normal? 

    is this possible for you to form a same setup and test on your side or we can ship this setup to you for you to test on your side. show us how this thing work?

    HI, Felix:

    I have another e2e ticket https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/p/954905/3535999#3535999 report the things similar.  Are you support both?

    This customer mentioned that they are using DCA1000 + iwr1642, why the picture shows a different system?

    Best,

    hi Zigang,

    Yes, same case.

    HI, Felix:

    Please close one ticket and continue on the other.  I have already tried on my side, and it works.  The high temperature may indicate that board has an issue, it will be good to test with a new DCA1000 board.  please send me an email to discuss further. 

    Best,

    Hi

    I changed the setting as you suggested, but the problem didn't change

    HI, 

    I am confused about Felix's reply.  Is his attached picture related to this thread?

    hi Zigang,

    I am sorry, it is different setup but we see the same LVDS buffer full issue.

    I will post in the correct track for next feedback

  • 0 in reply to user6489520
    TI__Mastermind 40495 points

    So, you still have the LVDS buffer full error after changing the sw2 setting?  and there is not SD card inserted.  

    Is there any LED light turns red on the DCA1000 board?  Please check section 7 and section 8 for error and trouble shooting on DCA1000 users guide

    https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruij4

    Best,

    The LED6 light turns red,so I tried to change the periodicity to 200ms, but it did't work

  • 0 in reply to user6489520
    TI__Mastermind 40495 points

    Which one is LED6. Please take a picture of your complete setup with the error LED red. And sent over the complete log as well.  

    Did you also observe the high temperature on DCA1000 board as mentioned by Felix?

    Best,

    Zigang

    HI, 

    I am out of ideas and is consulting the design team.  Will get back to you once I have some answers.

    HI, 

    The design engineer suggest to use the CLI mode?

    • Please do till the frame configuration from radar studio.
    • Open the cmd window, go to C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\PostProc directory

    >> cd C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\PostProc

    • issue the CLI commands for configuring DCA1000 (refer the CLI user guide for the commands). 

    >>DCA1000EVM_CLI_Control.exe fpga configFile.json

    >>DCA1000EVM_CLI_Control.exe record configFile.json

    • Give start record command from CLI, 

    DCA1000EVM_CLI_Control.exe start_record configFile.json

    • Wait for the notification of start record success
    • Go to mmwavestudio GUI, trigger frames
    • Look for the record stop successful in the CLI.

    The CLI users guide is located at: C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\ReferenceCode\DCA1000\Docs\TI_DCA1000EVM_CLI_Software_UserGuide.pdf.  The command sequence is given in page 24.  

    Here attached an example of configFile.json. Let me know how it goes.

    Best,

    Zigang

    “LVDS buffer full” appeared in the CLI after clicking trigger frames,the FPGA_ERR light still turned red, and the DCA1000 was hot, so I didn't wait for record stop successful in the CLI and cut off the power.

    HI, 

    IT is very likely that your DCA1000 board is broken.  Can you try a different DCA1000 board?
