TX and RX channels synchronization of ADALM-PLUTO with MATLAB toolbox for MIMO radar application

Category: Hardware

Hi,

I am developing MIMO radar on ADALM-PLUTO with AD transceiver toolbox for MATLAB. I want to synchronize the TX and RX channels, so when i start the measurement i always getting data from the beginning of the chirp, not at some random point of it.

As far as i know i should use the TDD. Only example of use of it I found, was with an external trigger, but i don't have access to raspberry pi (only STM32 MPU) to create external pulses. Thus i think that i should use internal trigger for the TDD, but I am not sure how to achieve it. Is there a way to reroute the trigger signal to the internal source that is triggered on the MATLAB command? Or i should create my own IP in HDL to handle it? Will even this MATLAB toolbox keep working on modified HDL? Does any of you were able to achieve something similar to that?
