IWR1642BOOST: Getting Started in Linux Environment on Nvidia Jetson Nano

Hi Celine

The demos on Resource explorer are meant for use on a windows machine using CCSTUDIO.

Hi, so there is any way I can run the drivers vital signs lab on the Nvidia because I was informed that I could. Thanks

Hi Celine

Please clarify.

AG

Hi, I want to collect vital sign measurements on the iwr1642 using the nvidia nano jetson. How can I do this?

Hi Celine

Software for Vital Signs Lab is run on IWR1642BOOST EVM with output on .exe visualizer on a PC. You will need to implement custom interface with your IWR1642 in order to provide the output you desire.

Hi, Thanks. So are there any resources for implementing custom interface or how to get started on that?

Also I see there is a download link for CCS for linux. How come the demos are only meant for windows if there is CCS on linux?

Hi Celine

One can use CCSTUDIO for linux but the visualizers are all in .exe format.

You can interface using UART, SPI, etc. interfaces from your NVIDIA host to the IWR1642 Sensor.

Can you provide some resources for getting started? Thanks

Also I am getting the following error when trying to execute the mmwave sdk file:

 ./mmwave_sdk_02_00_00_04-Linux-x86-Install.bin: 1: ./mmwave_sdk_02_00_00_04-Linux-x86-Install.bin: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

How do I fix this?

Additionally, in the user guide for iwr1642 it talks about lvds interfacing over the 60-pin connector, is this how to interface using UART? If so how do you use the 60-pin connector to connect to the NVIDIA nano?

Thanks Celine

Please see the IWR1642BOOST layout and design files, the schematic shows the 20 pin BP/LP connectors you can use for these interfaces. 

The demos by default send data out through UART but can be to send data through other interfaces depending on application need.

I'm not familiar with NVIDIA Host interfacing guidelines and cannot comment further.
