Compiler/AWR1642BOOST: Driver Vital Signs

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

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Dear sir or madam,

I use AWR1642 and I want to connect that to TCU (telematic control unit) of car. How can I do that? can i just use port on CAN Interface Connector on EVM, or are there other ways? 

second question:

where can i see the output of EVM, when the breathing rate and heart rate show in GUI zero? Can i find it in gui-source (matlabScripts) or another place?

Thanks in advance, I appreciate you.

best regards

Alireza

  • Hello Alireza,

    TCU may have CAN interface which you can connect with AWR1642BOOST CAN connector. 

    Existing Vital sign demo uses UART interface to send the output to PC. For your case you need to modify the application to replace this interface with CAN to send the output data over CAN and capture using TCU.

    You can refer other TI-Rex application to replace the UART interface with CAN

    GUI source code is provided with the Vital sign application package either in matlab or C++ which you can use to modify as needed. Refer that source code which display the breathing/heartbeat status to screen.

  • Hi Jitendra,

    thank you very much for your answer, i appreciate you.

    For my case you need to modify the application to replace this interface with CAN, where should i change the code? should i modify the code in mmwave_output.h or in the dss_main.c or another place?

    second question:

    Where is source code which display the breathing/heartbeat status to screen? is that in dss_main.c or another place?

    best regards

  • Hello Alireza,

    DSS generates the output list and send it to MSS over mailbox, where it reads the HSRAM memory for output result and send it to over UART.

    dss_main.c -> MmwDemo_dssSendProcessOutputToMSS()

    mss_main.c -> MmwDemo_mboxReadTask(): Case MMWDEMO_DSS2MSS_DETOBJ_READY
