The AWR1243 device communicates with the host radar processor over the following main interfaces:
- Reference Clock – Reference clock available for host processor after device wakeup
- Control – 4-port standard SPI (peripheral) for
host control along with HOST INTR pin for
async events.. All radio control commands (and
response) flow through this interface.
- Data – High-speed serial port following the MIPI CSI2 format. Four data and one clock lane (all differential). Data from different receive channels can be multiplexed on a single data lane to optimize board routing. This is a unidirectional interface used for data transfer only.
- Reset – Active-low reset for device wakeup from host
- Out-of-band interrupt
- Error – Used for notifying the host in case the radio controller detects a fault
