MMWAVE-SDK: mmwave-SDK source confirmation

Part Number: MMWAVE-SDK

Hello Sir,

A Japanese customer bought TI evaluation board.
He wants to develop app by himself. He has some questions about the mmwave software.
Could you please clarify these issue?

The questions are as below.

1. I downloaded mmwave SDK a few days ago.
We are discussing the software development of C #. Is there any part that can be used from mmwave SDK?

If there are parts and codes that can be embezzled, please tell me the corresponding catalog directory.

(Especially the communication part)
(in terms of function, we hope to carry out serial communication as in the attached photo (data. PNG) to obtain distance, speed, peakval, the coordinate values of x, y, z)

2. In 3.3.1 of mmwave SDK user guide, CFG_ Port and data_ Port of two ports are set.

When we make our own application, do we need to set the serial port of 2 ports.

(attached photos: com 2 port.png, com_ 2port.png)

(in addition, in the software of the buyer, it is difficult to understand because the processing content is not clear. However, if we select the small and medium number of the 4 ports of COM, it seems that we can carry out serial communication.)

Thanks for your support.
Regards,

  • Hi,

    Really sorry for the delay in my response, here are the answers:

    1. None of the software offerings for mmwave devices have been tested/designed for development with C#. 

    The main concern would be that there isn't a C# VM for our device. Our software offering uses TI's ARM and C6000 C compilers to compile the C source code for the device (for the ARM and C6000 cores respectively), along with some linker files specific to our device to tell the linker where to place things in memory.

    2. These ports are only needed for the out of box demo application, in general, there is no need to use UART. Depending on the application, a single UART port, or even CAN could be used for communication. The out of box demo application uses one UART port for commands, and one to export the data. This is why it uses two ports.
