AWR6843AOPEVM: DSP demo for this evm

Hi, thank you for your reply

I need to have the all point cloud, without group picking base on snr and do clustering by other algorithm like k means ( some modified one of it)  but as number of points increase the CPU load increase and in some situation especially when there is tall building with reflective facades( I am not sure about "facades" word what I mean is the face of building) the number of point increases and SOC stop sending any information even I could not connect it again until I power cycle it ( I believe it maybe  because of the stack (unlikely) or because of  MCU limitation which delay in calculation  cusec RTOS stop everything and enter in error).

I will check the Area scanner ( I did not pay attention to it thank you for point to this), what I want is like demo code there be a CLI I cloud configure the sensor RF front end and get the 
whole point cloud I do my calculation ( JPDA tracker and clustering ) in other MCU.

again (very very very very)*e^(e^(inf!)) ... thank you for your reply.

Hi, Thank you for reply 

yes , I'm working on that I trying to find the flow inside the code( I mean I know what is the logic and flow of software(code) but I'm trying to find it in code) just please don't close the question in case of a question about the code change because it will take a while.

very very very thank you!

Hi, 

Understood, will leave this thread open for additional queries you may have.

Hi 

I just could check the code and I finished it I figure out these things:

/*************************Things I Figure Out*************************************************************************************************************************

1: the "static void MmwDemo_transmitProcessedOutput" is the function of task which is responsible to send the data to USART  with polling mode ( line1352 of code mss_main in area scanner ).

2: unlike the demo code have two type of object 1 : static object. 2 : dynamic object

2': static objects are in cartesian (x y z) which is easy to understand by human and easy to represent.

2'': dynamic  objects  are in spherical and it make sense because later code will pass this objects to gtracker ( it is code by TI which implement EKF(extended kalman filter ) and some method for association in EKF we need to have objects in  spherical  because the model is base on this detail are in document name is "Tracking radar targets with multiple reflection points") .

3: It have CLI code and code use this to get the configuration for tracking and RF front.

/**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

/**************************The Problem *********************************************************************************************************************************

so base on the above I have everything I want but there is a problem in cfg file (screenshot below)

we send the boundary boxes (bins) and more we have static detection cfg I do not know each parameter meaning I mean from 'TRACKING COMMANDS' to end of 'STATIC DETECTION COMMANDS' is mystery for me.

/**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

/***************************My Questions******************************************************************************************************************************** 

__Is this parameter effect the static and dynamic objects data (in other word do they effect sensor detection)?

__Where could I find the  meaning of each parameter from mystery part?

__And how could I bypass the tracker ? because after that I will have pure unaffected point cloud that I need?

/************************End Of My Questions***************************************************************************************************************************

 excuse me for writing detail (and that long story) I did because of two reason  first : show how much I'm intermediated in this and second :if anyone like me read this to understand the whole story.

Thank you for your replies 'Alec' and 'Vaibhav' they was very helpful and just solved half of my problem.  

I will research this problem  but if anyone know about this question PLEASE help about them thank you. 

An update I compiled the area scanner code from the Industrial toolbox with CCS but when I upload it to AWR6843AOP its not working.

I upload the precompiled binary and it works. I did attach the code and binary that I get from compiling this lab in CCS.

I tired just upload the mss binary (as I do for other mmwave sensor) but I upload(to internet not to sensor) dss binary too.(In other word I just give mss binary to uniflash)

I did not change anything in code I just import it and compile it.  I upload a screenshot about software I use the CCS version is 11.

binary.rar is binary file and whole code is the code I have it in my CCS workspace.

Hi,

Just to confirm, did you build the DSS project before building the MSS project? When using the DSP, the final binary is formed in a post-build step which combines both the DSS and MSS binaries, so the DSS project must be built beforehand.

Hi, Thank you for reply

Yes I did I upload video in here that show the step I take.

I don't have debugger for this EVM and I do not know where the code is stuck.

My COM ports are like this:

Hi,

There may be an issue with Area Scanner in the mmWave Industrial Toolbox 4.9.0, could you please try with Industrial Toolbox 4.8.0? Functionality should be the same.

Best Regards,
Alec

Hi,

Sure I will try it and write the result here.

Thank you Alec.

Hi,

Additionally, we have just made a post regarding this issue for Industrial Toolbox 4.9.0 and how to fix it, so feel free to take a look at the following post if that solution is preferable.

Hi,

Yes that was the problem I can  get data from EVM easily now.

Thank you very much you are a life saver!

Hi ,again just a small question do you know any document that describe demo code? I mean the lines of code things happens? I could not find the gtracker in code.

Hi, Thank you for reply

I just had brief view to the code you suggest they are complicated and just if it possible give me time to figure it out. for Gtrack document I read that it has very good documented  but nothing about code even no flowchart for that. something in TI codes is missing and it is logic diagram (flowchart like) for demo there is one and it is very useful even there is a video that talk about the SDK (I have not seen it yet) but the document (that first html page) was very good.

just if it is possible keep this thread open I really need that. Thank you.
