7.3.2 Processor Subsystem

Figure 7-5 shows the block diagram for customer programmable processor subsystems in the device. At a high level there are two customer programmable subsystems. Left hand side shows the DSP Subsystem which contains TI's high performance C66x DSP, HWA 2.1, a high-bandwidth interconnect for high performance (128-bit, 150MHz), and associated peripherals – six EDMAs for data transfer,Aurora and LVDS interface for Measurement data output, L3 Radar data cube memory, ADC buffers, CRC engine, and data handshake memory (additional memory provided on interconnect).

For more information, see the TMS320C66x DSP CorePac User Guide

The right side of the diagram shows the Main subsystem (MSS). The Main subsystem, as the name suggests, is the primary controller of the device and controls all the device peripherals and house-keeping activities of the device. The Main subsystem contains a Cortex-R5F (MSS R5F) processor and associated peripherals and housekeeping components such as EDMAs, CRC, and peripherals (I2C, UART, SPIs, CAN-FD, EPWM, and others) connected to the primary interconnect through the Peripheral Central Resource (PCR interconnect).

The Radio Processing Subsystem or the BIST Subsystem (RSS) is responsible for initializing and calibrating the Analog/RF modules. RSS periodically monitors the Analog/RF functionality such that all the Analog/RF modules work in their defined limits.

General-Purpose ADC (GPADC), Fast Fourier Transformation engine (FFT engine) and other modules are provided to monitor the signal from different points in the transmitter and receiver chains. Digital front-end filters (DFE), Ramp Generation module and Analog/DFE registers, which are mainly under the control of BSS, can be indirectly controlled through the API calls from the Main Subsystem.

The device also integrates one two-lane CSI2 receiver interfaces in the radio processing subsystem. The prime functionality of this interface is the Hardware in loop (HIL) functionality, that can be used to perform the radar operations feeding the captured data from outside into the device without involving the RF subsystem.

Refer to the Device TRM (Technical Reference Manual) for MSS Cortex-R5F and DSP C66x memory map.
