AWR1843AOP: mmWave Demo Visualizer not showing range-azimuth plot data

jovial

Part Number: AWR1843AOP

Hello,

When trying to use the demo visualizer for awr1843AOP, I am able to see all of the plots except for the range azimuth heatmap. The range azimuth heatmap plot is only a large green box which covers the entire plot scale, and does not change. I see this even if I reduce the number of fps to 1, and remove all the other plot types. This is using the AWR1843AOP demo firmware in SDK release 3.5.

Thanks,
jovial

Figured out my issue: at some point migrating SDK versions, there was a change in mss_main.c

#if defined(USE_2D_AOA_DPU)

tl[tlvIdx].type = MMWDEMO_OUTPUT_MSG_AZIMUT_ELEVATION_STATIC_HEAT_MAP;

#else

tl[tlvIdx].type = MMWDEMO_OUTPUT_MSG_AZIMUT_STATIC_HEAT_MAP;

#endif

This new TLV type was the cause of my problem.

Hello Jovial,

Glad you were able to figure that out on your own.
