AWR1843BOOST: How to get data from AWR1843 + Dca1000 configured using mmwave studio, using python to get the detected objects data

I had a requirement where i need to change the IP 

>ar1.SelectCaptureDevice("DCA1000")
ans=0
>ar1.CaptureCardConfig_EthInit("192.168.117.141", "192.168.117.140", "12:34:56:78:90:12", 4096, 4098)
>ar1.SelectCaptureDevice("DCA1000")

>

but now according to this doc    page 14   i am getting nothing in FPGA version on setup DCA1000

Hello Mohit,

I've forwarded your query to our concerned expert. Please expect a response by early next week.

Regards,

Ishita

Mohit,

You should make sure the IP address on your PC is set to 192.168.33.30. This IP address is set in the DCA1000EVM FPGA so you need to make sure your PC address is set accordingly.

Regards,

Kyle

But I tried to change those ip address in dca1000 using

Change ip in PC and Data card from mmwave studio using lua shell

>ar1.SelectCaptureDevice("DCA1000")

ans=0

>ar1.CaptureCardConfig_EthInit("192.168.117.141", "192.168.117.140", "12:34:56:78:90:12", 4096, 4098)

Can we change both the ips , please help us out

And is there any restriction on ip formats.

Can you tell all steps to change the ip

According to your response earlier , using default configuration and ip addresses now , 

but i cant see fpga version below , also i am unable to ping 192.168.33.180 which  is default ip of DCA1000 right  from my pc where i have set ip to 192.168.33.30

TRied other way too...

Mohit,

I cannot see your screenshot in your previous post. Please upload the image again so I can see it.

With regards to your question on the IP address, this cannot be changed. The address is set in mmWave Studio and in the FPGA firmware. You will need to set your PC IP address to 192.168.33.30.

Please try using the capture demo lua script found in this folder location:

C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\Scripts

Use this script: DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua

Refer to the DCA1000EVM Quick Start Guide for instructions on how to use this script. The Quick Start Guide can be found here: https://www.ti.com/lit/ml/spruik7/spruik7.pdf 

Regards,
Kyle

In my above reply I have used that lua script too.

And have shared the full log with you which gives error .

Please check above.

now i am getting errors :

[05:50:46] Status: Failed to open/close GpioControl, Error Type: PROTOCOL ERROR

[05:50:53] [RadarAPI]: Error: Connection failed: Calling_ConnectTarget returned 3

Mohit,

Please provide several pictures of your physical setup. This should help isolate your issue if I can see what your setup looks like along with all of the connected cables.

Regards,

Kyle

Mohit,

Thank you for providing these images. I will review them and get back to you tomorrow.

Regards,
Kyle

hello
we have done the changes as asked 

cat laptop and the radar dca board usb ports connected directly to cat laptop usb. the network connection to internet removed and there is a wifi connection. there is a network connection from the cat laptop to dca board from a usb to network connection. 

but still getting errors while running script from mmwave studio:

error log :
lua_mmwave_error.docx

Mohit,

It looks like you are attempting to remote into the laptop that is connected to the DCA1000EVM and AWR1843. You will need to work directly from the the Windows laptop and not use the remote connection for executing the demo script.

Regards,
Kyle

Hi Kyle,

We did that locally too , but that gives the same error .

please check the attachment for full error log :

We have been contacting Ti from the long time , but still the things dont work , dont know if that's the hardware issue or software.

can  some from our  team call you from California to talk with you so that we can resolve the issue ASAP.

Please provide any phone number so that we can have call .

Thanks

Mohit,

Let me review your error log and provide a response later today.

Regards,
Kyle

Hi Kyle:

We have been working for a few weeks now and nave not been able to get data from the DCA capture card and have done the steps you suggested. Do you have a paid professional support services group where we can get on a telephone call and debug this problem so we can get data and start designing the product we want to bring to market. Please contact me at 310-451-3735 if you have any questions or need more information.

thanks,

roy
