IWR1443: Does the mmWaveDemo in mmwave_sdk_01_02_00_05 has CAN bus enable?

Hi Jean,

The mmWave SDK Out of box demo does not enable CAN BUS as it send the point cloud data over UART. Before you can use the CAN interface on the IWR1443 EVM, please make sure that you perform the modifications specified in the IWR1443BOOST EVM user guide under section 2.4.3 (CAN Interface Connector).

Once you've made the EVM modifications, I would recommend the following resources:

1. The mmWave SDK CAN Driver provides a driver test under: C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_01_02_00_05\packages\ti\drivers\can\test. Start with the internal loopback and parity tests and then try to run the external loopback test with the PCAN USB adapter.

2. Please  also refer to the following app note which provides information about adding CAN functionality to an existing mmWave application: Adding CAN Tx and Rx to an Existing mmWave Project

3. While we don't have an example for enabling CAN output in the IWR1443 OOB demo, our Automotive Radar toolbox has an example for sending object data on AWR1642 EVM (with source code and project).

Finally, the following E2E threads which discuss the same/similar questions could also be useful:

1. IWR1443BOOST: CAN output with IWR1443Boost

2. AWR1642: Why doesnot the CAN driver test program work in TX/RX modes?

3. Linux/AWR1443BOOST: Using CAN bus on EVM

4. IWR1443: Configure the correct parameters on the CAN bus

Please mark this thread as answered if this resolves your query otherwise get back if you have more questions on this topic.

Thanks

Thanks Nitin,

I came to this conclusion. I was taking a look at the can test source file.
