DCA1000EVM: Capturing AWR1642BOOST raw data continuously for the SRR demo

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, , AWR1642BOOST

Is it possible to capture the raw data (continuously) of the SRR demo and then post process it ? Currently the DCA1000 can be controlled only through mmwave radarstudio. Some  discussions are available in the sensors forum    https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/757194   to utilize the DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua file for controlling the AWR1642 BOOST alongwith the DCA1000 but not in detail.

    Ashish,

    You can make the follow changes to the SRR demo to enable LVDS streaming.

    In the "common" folder in "srr_config_consts.h": remove comment at line 95 for 

    #define USE_LVDS_INTERFACE_FOR_OBJECT_DATA_TX

    In the "mss" folder in "mss_main.c": comment out line 1056 for

    //sessionCfg.u.swCfg.headerMode = CBUFF_HeaderMode_NONE;

    Then rebuild the demo in CCS and generate a new application binary.

    Currently, the only way to control the DCA1000EVM is in mmWave Studio. However, there are plans to release an application that will enable control of the DCA1000EVM without needed mmWave Studio. However, I cannot provide a release timeframe at this time.

    In the meantime, you can also configure your AWR1642BOOST using the SRR chirp configuration and capture the raw data that way.

    Regards,
    Kyle

    Thanks for the answer Kyle. But, I am still not clear that by enabling the LVDS streaming and following the changes to the SRR demo how will it be possible to gather continuous raw data using DCA1000. How to control the DCA1000 without mmwavestudio in this configuration.

    Ashish,

    As I stated in my previous post, "Currently, the only way to control the DCA1000EVM is in mmWave Studio. However, there are plans to release an application that will enable control of the DCA1000EVM without needed mmWave Studio. However, I cannot provide a release timeframe at this time."
