IWR6843ISK-ODS: Lab 68xx_ods_point_cloud_demo seems to have wrong source files - Industrial Toolbox 4.2.x

Hello,

If I download the latest Industrial Toolbox 4.2.0 and open file "mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_2_1/labs/out_of_box_demo/68xx_ods_point_cloud_demo/src/mss/mmw_cli.c", line 1143 reads:

sprintf(&demoBanner[0],
1142 "******************************************\n" \
1143 "xWR64xx MMW Demo %02d.%02d.%02d.%02d\n" \
1144 "******************************************\n",

I assume it needs to be xwr68xx ODS. When I build the bin file and try to use it, the point cloud data does not make much sense, but it all works OK if I use pre-built bin file.

Where can I find the source code for the ODS point cloud demo? I'd like to be able to build it. The source code that is currently located there does not seem to be for the ODS antenna design.

Viktoria,

The source files are correct. The CLI prompt says 64xx because this demo uses only the HWA + R4F for processing (DSP is not used). The name 64xx is reserved for future devices which will not have the DSP core.

1. Please try building the demo with the provided projectspecs and make sure you get it working before moving onto developing your own makefile. You will need CCS 8.3 running on a Windows machine.

2. The ODS demo includes projectspecs for both ES1 and ES2 versions of the IWR6843 device (and these are not compatible i.e. the demo built for ES2 cannot run on ES1 device and vice-versa) so make sure you are using the correct projectspec for your device version.

Thanks
