AWR1843BOOST: Interfaces and data transfer

6586985
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: AWR1843BOOST

Hello there, 

I am trying to understand whether I can use the AWR1843BOOST evm for a radar application. In particular, I need to connect the demoboard to an external microcontroller board (be it Arduino or even a Raspberry) to process the raw signal from the radar. My question are: does the board have SPI or I2C interfaces to interact with my uc-boards? Is there a default firmware I can use in order not to write myself the protocol for those specific interfaces? What kind of raw data can I retrieve from the sensor and send to the uc-board? 

Thank you, 

Federico

    Hi,

    The board does have SPI interfaces to connect to a host.

    We don't have a demo that sends raw data through SPI. You would have to modify one of the demos to do that.

    The raw data you can send will depend on the SPI bandwidth and the specific chirp configuration (number of ADC samples, number of chirps in the frame)

    Thank you
