Part Number: SK-TDA4VM

xWRLx432 I am currently evaluating the possibility of using it on SK-TDA4VM.

Can you provide more information about its compatibility and suitability for this platform?

Hi Vic,

The SK-TDA4VM supports ROS and we have done some testing with some radar devices through ROS like this: https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/robotics-sdk/08_06_01/AM68A/docs/source/docs/radar_driver_node.html.

I come more from the TDA4VM-side of things, so let me see if I can get a comment from the radar-side to see if there is a similar ROS driver for xWRLx432.

Regards,

Takuma

Hello,

The xWRL6432 is supported with the ROS1 driver implemented for mmWave Sensors. Follow the instructions for getting the ROS driver, flashing it, and compiling it, then go back to the Jacinto Robotics SDK

Hi Fabiana Jaimes

This is very valuable information.

I have also referred to other sources.

TI mmWave ROS Driver Users Guide

I am looking for sensor-related components, devices other than mmWave.

Sensor fusion is currently a topic of interest for me on the SK-TDA4VM.

Hi Vic,

To clarify, is the request for a sensor fusion demo using a different sensor than the mmWave radars? I do not think we have such demo available out-of-box.

However, a list of available demos for the Jacinto/Sitara processors can be found here: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AAkmgPumnb6pg20NWtipWA__com.ti.Jacinto%20EdgeAI%20Demos__PfvSod2__LATEST.

Hi Fabiana Jaimes

No demo is needed. I want to use TI mmwave for development.

Sensor fusion itself is a broad topic, and I have referred to relevant TI documents. I would like to know if TI has other sensors. Currently, only mmwave has data.

Hi Vic,

if it is sensors in general, I would recommend looking at TI’s sensor page for what sensors are available: https://www.ti.com/sensors/overview.html

If there is a particular sensor that you are interested in, I would recommend creating another thread specific to that sensor, so a new thread will be created and notify the team that works on the sensor of interest.
