AWR2243: AWR2243

Part Number: AWR2243


I am currently going to use the AWR2243 chip and I am seeking help with the following issues:
How is this chip configured?Including which softwares are required? which are the relevant documents that provide configuration of chip register tables? Looking forward to everyone's answers, thank you.

  • Hello,

    To configure the AWR2243 chip, you will need to use the TI mmWave SDK and the TI Code Composer Studio (CCS) software. The mmWave SDK includes the necessary drivers, libraries, and example code to get started with the AWR2243 chip.

  • hello, how can I use FPGA to config awr2243 by SPI interface ? the datasheet don't have the registers mamery map table.

    I can just config awr2243 by SPI interface ,is it? how to  program by HDL language?

  • Hello,

    To configure the AWR2243 radar sensor using an FPGA and SPI interface, you can follow these general steps:

    1. Understand the SPI Protocol: First, you need to understand the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol, which is a synchronous serial communication interface. This involves understanding the timing, data format, and control signals used in SPI communication.

    2. Interface the FPGA with AWR2243: Connect the SPI interface pins of the AWR2243 to the corresponding pins on the FPGA. You may need to refer to the AWR2243 datasheet to identify the SPI pins and their functions.

    3. Write HDL Code: Using a Hardware Description Language (HDL) such as Verilog or VHDL, you can write the code to control the SPI interface on the FPGA. This code will handle the SPI communication protocol and the specific commands required to configure the AWR2243.

    4. Implement SPI Communication: In your HDL code, implement the SPI communication protocol to send the necessary configuration commands to the AWR2243. This involves managing the clock, data, and control signals according to the SPI protocol.

    5. Test and Debug: Once the HDL code is written, you can simulate and test the SPI communication between the FPGA and AWR2243. This involves verifying that the correct configuration commands are being sent and received by the AWR2243.

    6. Verify Configuration: After successful communication, you can verify that the AWR2243 has been configured as intended by checking its behavior or using any available diagnostic tools.

    It's important to note that without a memory map table in the AWR2243 datasheet,

    Overall, using an FPGA to configure the AWR2243 via SPI interface involves understanding the SPI protocol, writing HDL code to implement the protocol, and verifying the successful configuration of the radar sensor.
