3 AWR2188 External Processor Software Configuration

To help users better understand the boot process and configuration of AWR2188, this chapter takes M0 as an example of an external processor to introduce the software configuration of the external processor for AWR2188 in SPI (SOP = 001) mode. Figure 3-1 gives the software execution sequence after AWR2188 powers on and boots.

AWR2188 Software Execution FlowFigure 3-1 AWR2188 Software Execution Flow

The functions in the figure are executed in the external processor, controlling various functions in AWR2188 by calling the interface functions in the mmWaveLink framework. The firmware package and execution code running on AWR2188 are all contained in the DFP (Device Firmware Package, which contains firmware, and code required to be executed by the RSS and MSS systems).
