AWR1642BOOST: AWR1642Boost, Capture data without other hardware

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

Hey,

I am using the AWR1642Boost 2.0 with sdk 2.0.

Is there any way to capture the raw data from the sensor without using hardware like the DCA1000? I have looked around on other forums and most of the refer to other hardware components or demo's from other sdk's combined with hardware. 

  • Hi,

    It would be possible for low number of ADC samples/chirps to do it by modifying the mmWave Demo.

    The idea is basically modifying the mmWave Demo to copy the ADC samples to L3 memory and transfer them to a Host through UART.

    The limitation would be the UART transfer bandwidth. If there is too much data, the UART bandwidth would not be sufficient to transfer the data in real time.

    If you are not interested in real time, then you could copy the data for one frame using CCS from L3 memory.

    All these options require to modify the mmWave SDK demo.

    Thank you
    Cesar
