TIDEP-01012: Start framing

Part Number: TIDEP-01012
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2243, AWR1243

Hello everyone, 
I am about to put the cascaded radar into operation and have strictly adhered to the instructions in the user guide.

C: /ti/mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00/docs/mmwave_studio_cascade_user_guide.pdf

 However, I come to the point:
-Perform the firmware download for all the slaves together. Perform RF Power Up for each one of the slave devices individually. Perform the basic configuration in Static configuration tab for all the slaves together. Also, the cascading mode for all slave devices should be selected as “Slave” during their basic configuration.

not further.

Which APi's do I still have to configure?

If I want to run the "Frame Config" after the "Static Configuration" and set RadarDevice1 as "SoftwareTrigger" I get the following error message:

What am I doing wrong ?

Best regards

Paolo

    Hello Paolo,

    Thankyou for reaching us out on E2E forums.

    May I know which version of MMWCAS-RF0EVM you have? Is it AWR1243 or AWR2243 cascade? because based on that you will have to use the mmWave Studio version. 

    For AWR1243 cascade :  Use mmWave Studio 02_01_01_00

    For AWR2243 cascade :  Use mmWave Studio 03_00_00_14

    Now coming to the sequence followed for capturing the data in cascade, after the basic configuration for slaves, you have to carry on the with the basic procedure followed for capturing data in singlechip devices i.e. appropriately configure the options in StaticConfig Tab, DataConfig Tab and SensorConfig Tab before finally moving to data capture. For that, you can refer to Chapter 7,8,9 in mmWave_studio_user_guide.pdf

    The mmWave_studio_user_guide.pdf mentions about those steps in detail (we have skipped this part in the cascade user guide as it is already captured in mmwave_studio_user_guide).

    Also, for your convenience, we also have some example lua scripts that capture this basic sequence of flow. You can refer to the below scripts for configuration : 

    1. Cascade_Configuration_Basic.lua (Configures the radar until DataConfig Tab)

    2. Cascade_Configuration_TestSource.lua (complete configuration until frame config, but just enables the test source. For a basic real object capture, user can use this script and disable the test source).

    I would recommend using the mmWave Studio cascade user guide for guided instructions on this.

    Hope this gets you started.

    Regards,

    Ishita

    Hi Ishita,

    thank you for your quick response.

    I'm currently using the version with the AWR1243.

    I'm trying to do the additional steps, as in the Mmwave Studio user guide,

    Best regards

    Hallo Ishita,

    i did the configuration as in the  mmWave_studio_user_guide.pdf and Cascade_Configuration_Basic.lua  

    When i want to set the Frame Configuration for the first Device i get the following error:

    What am I doing wrong ?

    Hello Paolo,

    After running the Cascade_Configuration_Basic.lua  script, did you press the "set" button for profile and chirp config before moving to the frame config?

    Referring to the error message you're getting, it states the Chirps used in the frame config are not configured and that points to the fact that you've not issued the chirp config API.

    I would suggest using Cascade_Configuration_TestSource.lua first which provides complete configuration. 

    Regards,

    Ishita
