Hello,

First of all, I want to express my immense admiration for the work you've done on your repository. It's truly impressive!

Your contribution to the community is invaluable, and I am particularly inspired by the level of detail and expertise evident in your work. It's a cool job indeed!!!

I am currently working with MMWCAS-RF-EVM + MMWCAS-DSP-EVM, and I hope you'll forgive me for potentially asking what might seem like a simple question to an expert like you. Your insights would be incredibly helpful to me.

I am curious to know if it's possible to display data in real time in a stream with this setup. I am eagerly looking forward to your guidance and advice on this matter. Your expertise in this field is something I deeply respect, and any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your time and for sharing your knowledge with the community.

Hi @mereschenko ! Thank you for the nice words! 😄 I'm not sure if expert is correct in defining my knowledge of the topic but I do have some experience working this the MMWCAS evaluation boards (in the frame of my Master's Thesis).

There are no examples provided by TI for real-time data recording with the MMWCAS to my knowledge. From my understanding, the firmware delivered by default with the DSP board does not support real-time data recording (if it does, it hasn't been documented). Hence, to achieve real-time recording, a firmware capable of data streaming should be developed (it could be for streaming directly point clouds or raw ADC data depending on the end goal)
