TDA3: D3 RVP & Demo Visualizer

Part Number: TDA3

Hi,

I got the D3 RVP development kit. Connected the board to PC and able to launch the TI Demo Visualizer (Web based App). Got the errors in the console on i2c. I seriously have no clue what error means and why there is errors out of the box. Attached is the screenshot of the Visualizer showing the errors. Please enlighten me as i am brand new to this platform.

Thanks,

--Khai

  • Hi Khai,

    We have seen this issue in the past where the I2C times out. Have you provided separate power supplies for the RVP board and the radar front end?

    Thanks and Regards,

  • Thank you for the suggestion. You spotted right on. Didn't know I have to power the radar module. The i2c errors went away now.

    I have a follow up question though. Can we use the Demo Visualizer with the D3 Engineering RVP platform? After the I2C errors fixed, I tried fiddling around with the UI config and sent it down to the board. Didn't see anything happened (ie: the plots didn't show any activities). One thing i noticed was that in config, there is no selection for the xWR1243 radar module which I purchased from D3 together with the RVP.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Khai,

    The Demo Visualizer is not meant to work with the D3 RVP platform. The configuration is compiled in to the file vision_sdk\apps\src\rtos\radar\src\common\chains_common_sample_ar12xx_config.c

    Thanks and Regards,
