AWR2243-2X-CAS-EVM: How should I use the interface circled in the diagram to transmit the raw ADC data externally?

Part Number: AWR2243-2X-CAS-EVM

Hi,

I am developing the AWR2243-2X-CAS-EVM board, and I want to use the interface circled in the figure to transmit raw ADC data externally. How should I configure it? 

Thanks!

  • Hello, we have received your case and the investigation will take some time. Thank you for your patience.

  • Hi,
    The ports circled in the picture should be the network ports on the board. I am using the UDP example located in the folder [C:\ti\mcu_plus_sdk_am273x_08_05_00_24\examples\networking\lwip\enet_cpsw_udpserver] to develop for the board.
    After using an Ethernet converter as an intermediary and properly connecting the network ports, the serial output has been continuously showing "Waiting for network UP ...".
    The target configuration I am using is the AM273x.ccxml that comes with the [am273x_mmw_cascade_demo_mss] project, because I am unable to connect using the target configuration that comes with the [enet_cpsw_udpserver_am273x-evm_r5fss0-0_freertos_ti-arm-clang] project.And I am using the default syscfg configuration.

    I'm not sure if something wasn't configured correctly, and I look forward to your reply.

  • What you have circled is the ethernet module of the device.
    The AM273 does not support a gigabit ethernet:

    ADC data requires a much higher throughput than 100 Mbps, so this is not feasible on the device.

  • Does the 2243 cascade board come with a storage module? I want to use the storage module to temporarily store data and then gradually transmit it via the network port. Or could you recommend a feasible method for data transmission? For example, CAN or LVDS?

    Thank you very much.

  • Does the 2243 cascade board come with a storage module?

    No, 2 chip cascade doesn't have any storage card. You can stream the ADC data over LVDS. One of the example is available in the SDK - C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_01_02\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_01_02\ti\utils\test\cascade.
