AWR1243: Download firmware over SPI by external MCU

xin cui

Part Number: AWR1243

I used the DFP tool to run the mmwavelink_example and found the trace.txt file. Is it the SPI command that drives AWR1243? If so, I plan to add some delays to each instruction in order. Use an external MCU to write the SPI instructions in trace.txt into 1243 through SPI, so that there is no need for mmwavelink porting. Is this feasible?

Looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely

We don't recommend to use byte sequence to send over SPI without mmwavelink integration.

mmWaveLink is the library which provides command and response to sync b/w Host and AWR device over SPI. And using this Host can listen any out of sync Async-event message from AWR device.

So, you need to integrate the mmwavelink with your Host application where AWR1243 is connected. Else you will hit lot of unknown issue which will be hard to debug without mmwavelink integration.
