IWR1443BOOST: ROS Point Cloud Demo is supported or not

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443, MMWAVEICBOOST, IWR6843ISK, IWR6843AOPEVM, IWR1843BOOST, IWR6843

Hi,

I got a question for ROS Point Cloud Demo in Industrial ToolBox v4.8.0.
According to the top Table of Labs, the demo is supported IWR1443 ES3.0.

On the other hand, User's Guide of the demo "Required and Supported mmWave Evaluation Modules(EVM)" shows
https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/content/mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_8_0/labs/robotics/ros_driver/docs/TI_mmWave_ROS_Driver_Users_Guide.html#required-and-supported-mmwave-evaluation-modules-evm-

MMWAVEICBOOST + IWR6843ISK
or
IWR6843AOPEVM
or
IWR1843BOOST (but no bin file is listed)

And Release Notes of the demo says 

  • Currently tested for the IWR6843 EVM and IWR6843AOPEVM only

https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/content/mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_8_0/labs/robotics/ros_driver/docs/TI_mmWave_ROS_Driver_Release_Notes.html#limitations

They are inconsistent each other.
Which one is correct?

Thanks and regards,
Koichiro Tashiro

  • Thank you for pointing this out and apologies if this caused confusion. All of the ROS demos use the corresponding device's out of box demo. So, 1843, 6843, 1642 and 1443 will work with all ROS demos. However, only 6843 and 1843 will be tested and supported with Safety Bubble and Autonomous Robotics demos.

    The bin file for 1843 is the out of box demo bin supported in the toolbox.
