EOL related instructions

CAN device connection

Select a device

After the device is connected to the computer, select品牌->设备型号->通道in turn (select which channel to open or all open, the number starts from 0)

Device index is used to distinguish multiple devices of the same model can be connected to the computer

Device information is used to read the SN, number of channels and other information of the device. When it is readable, click to display the pop-up window.

Set communication parameters

Start the connection

Click: Open, Initialize, Start

Click More to enter the can communication test main page. The window above will show whether the device is turned on and started successfully.

CAN communication test

Functions of this page:

• Supports the transmission and reception of data of more than two channels

• Support mask configuration

• Supports the conversion of received data into string output (can be specified to convert can channel and canid to convert)

• Send messages manually

• Two-color display of message sending and receiving, with time stamp

• Provide buttons to enter other menus

• The manual sending window can automatically add commonly used crc values ​​to the end of the numerical value. Click the corresponding crc button to automatically calculate the crc values ​​of the data and add them to the end of the data.

• Supports regular sending and fixed sending (if the number of frames is not filled in, the number of sending is unlimited, the minimum period is 1ms, even if 0 is written)

• Curve chart function, check to forward data to chart curve display

Data recharge function

The data refilling function requires setting the data refilling format, usually the file in txt format or csv format is required.

For example, in the above log data, we need to send can id data of 0x154 and 0x116, so we need to set:

• After the can id is divided into each row of fields in a space, the index where the can id is located should be: 1
• The index at which the data starts should be: 3
• The inter-frame interval represents the time required to wait for each frame sent.
• The special waiting can id specifies the waiting time after the specific can id is sent (it can be set without setting)
• Special waiting data is to specify the waiting time for this data to be encountered ms (can not be set)
• The special waiting data index is specified, the index where the data is located (can not be set, the default is 0)

EOL debug page

Functions of this page:

• Provide buttons to enter or exit EOL mode and restart device buttons
• Provides writing and reading of various types of tables, as well as corresponding progress display
• Provides message transmission return value display
• Provide information reading and writing test page, antenna calibration page, rcs calibration page after entering EOL mode
• The button to enter the following page

Information Reading and Write Page

Functions of this page:

• Implement version, SN, and mountID read and write tests
• DTC detection
• VCAN Testing

Antenna calibration page to obtain 2D data

Functions of this page:

• Set the relevant parameters of the target simulator rts
• Set the relevant parameters for horizontal rotation of the rotary table
• Set up the relevant parameters for up and down heading of the turntable
• Simulate sending turntable information to radar and requesting 2DFFT data
• Generate 2DFFT data csv

The Add Configuration Button is an incremental addition. If you need to reconfigure, you need to clear the configuration first.

When only 2D data in one direction is needed, the conditions in other directions are empty will not be used

RCS calibration depends on the target

Functions of this page:

• Set threshold
• Continuously obtain target data
• By refreshing the display filter settings, filtering out the targets of the specified conditions to facilitate observation and statistics
• Statistical target settings, further filter target output to statistics list

Prerequisite: Add a condition to the threshold list before you can start looking at the target

SHELL debugging

• Shell debugging supports console font color switching
• Support copy and paste (after copying, use the right mouse button to paste)
• Support TAB key completion command
• Support up and down keys to view history commands
• Enter key to execute command

Network debugging

Currently, network debugging provides two network devices to provide debugging functions: RTS, PLC

RTS Network

RTS uses UDP communication, which distinguishes the sending and receiving ports , so in the client network, that is, the PC network, two monitoring needs to be enabled for receiving messages sent by RTS, and one for sending and controlling RTS.

RTS network requires two ports: client port (send port) and server port (receive port)

The communication IP is set to the local area network IP address of the machine (on the same subnet as RTS)

Set the working mode to客户端

Click the启动button, after the startup is successful, you can see the RTS control button on the More->EOL debug page

PLC network

Firmware upgrade

Click on固件选择

• Select bin file

Click启动升级and reset the radar ( can enter EOL mode, click to restart the device, and perform soft reset )

Successful upgrade:

When the page is closed during the upgrade process, the tool will exit the upgrade process

Other tools

Curve Chart

The function of curve chart enters

The required input method for curve chart is: $1 2 3;

• Start with $
• end with ;
• The middle numbers are separated by空格
• 1: represents the value of channel 0 at the current time
• 2: Represents the value of channel 1 at the current time
• 3: Represents the value of channel 2 at the current time

The following interfaces can be used in the C program code to realize the drawing and display of multi-channel data:

 /**
 * @brief 格式化时间
 *
 * @param t 时间
 * @param ch 通道号
 * @param size 通道数
 */
void Show_Elapsed_Time ( uint32_t t , uint32_t ch , uint32_t size )
{
  static char time_ms [ 64 ] = { 0 };
  if ( 1 == size )
  {
    EMBARC_PRINTF ( "$%u;rn" , t );
  }
  else
  {
    if ( ch == 0 )
    {
      sprintf ( time_ms , "$%u" , t );
    }
    else
    {
      sprintf ( time_ms + strlen ( time_ms ), " %u" , t );
      if ( ch == size - 1 )
      {
        sprintf ( time_ms + strlen ( time_ms ), ";rn" );
        EMBARC_PRINTF ( time_ms );
      }
    }
  }
}

/* 使用 */
uint32_t S = RTC_TO_MS ( rtc_count ());

track_read ( bb -> track ); //需要测量的时间，通道0中显示

uint32_t E = RTC_TO_MS ( rtc_count ());
Show_Elapsed_Time ( E - S , 0 , 2 );
S = RTC_TO_MS ( rtc_count ());

xxx (); //需要测量的时间，通道1中显示

E = RTC_TO_MS ( rtc_count ());
Show_Elapsed_Time ( E - S , 1 , 2 );
S = RTC_TO_MS ( rtc_count ());

xxx (); //需要测量的时间，通道2中显示

E = RTC_TO_MS ( rtc_count ());
Show_Elapsed_Time ( E - S , 2 , 3 );

Data channel selection

• vcom represents a virtual channel and represents data from non-serial devices (data flow forwarding can be performed by checking the curve chart)
• Non-vcom means data using serial port

Tool update function

When a new software version is released, the software will be reminded to update every time it is started
