IWR6843ISK-ODS: how to use studio cli tool capture adc raw data?

HI, there:

The CLI captured the data in the same way as radar studio GUI in the way that it will save the binary data to a binary file, and you won't be able to access the binary file before it finish.

Can you provide a link to this toolbox?

Best,

Zigang

Dear Sirs：

I know the studio CLI tool can't capture adc data in real time,However, we would like to try to modify the reference code to receive the Ethernet packet, because the Studio GUI Tool configuring the radar through SPI, and how the radar setting on the PC side is transferred to the radar board side using SPI protocol, we do not know the details of this data path.

So we considered using UART to configure the radar, control the DCA1000 EVM, and then receive raw data from the DCA1000 via Ethernet.

The toolbox link is : https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AK3GYIhDPkgp.R8qt-gVUg__Z2F8GEn__LATEST

HI, 

Thanks for the link.  This tool is quite new.   Do you have the xwr6843 EVM connected with mmwave IC booster or you have a standalone xwr6843 EVM board? Can you provide a picture of your setup, so I can help to check the switch settings.

Also, did you change in the file ‘mmwaveconfig.txt’ at ’\gui\mmw_cli_tool\’ path these following two parameters?

1) Device type (MMWAVE_DEVICE_VARIANT)  as:

MMWAVE_DEVICE_VARIANT=AWR6843

2) COM port number (COM_PORT_NUM), it should be the same port number you used for flashing

COM_PORT_NUM=50

3) The configuration file change to

CONFIG_JSON_CFG_PATH=..\..\src\profiles\profile_monitor_xwr68xx.cfg

All of these details should have been covered inside mmWaveStudio_CLI_GettingStartedGuide.pdf in the ./doc directory.

Dear Sirs:

We plan to modify the code under mmwave_platform_toolbox_1_0_0\tools\studio_cli\gui\mmw_cli_tool to generate a customized mmwave_studio_cli.exe.

We follow the developer guide and open mmwave_studio_cli.sln with vs2017, and there are many files that cannot be found.

Please tell me how to compile this stuido cli project with vs2017,thanks!

1)Steps to rebuild the mmWave Studio CLI tool,follow developer's guide:

2)Some errors occur, it seems that some dependent files cannot be found.

I will need to consult with the CLI tool designer.  Will get back to you later.

Hi Zigang

I have another question :
How to control DCA1000 EVM and FPGA via uart, this part has no source code, it is a library file(RF_API.lib).

we want to know the specific process and commands. Please help ~~~

Hi Zigang

Have you had any further news?

The design engineer was on vacation and just come back.  Will ping him again.

Hello,

Any news for this issues~~~

Sorry for the delay, I have not got any feedback from the designers yet. 

Best,
