AWR1642BOOST-ODS: Problem with receiving the 2d point cloud data from AWR1642BOOST-ODS

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST-ODS
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

Hello everyone, 

I am trying to run this repo in order to replicate the "patient monitoring" experiment.

This experiment basically utilizes AWR1642 radar to detect patient's point cloud data.  

But, I meet a difficulty is that the .cfg file they provided in the repo is not written appropriately. This mistake makes me fail to run the program. 

To solve this problem, I change the .cfg file to the one which is provided in another repo called "radar_lab". I use this cfg file because I run this repo successfully with it. So, I assume that it may also work with the patient monitoring repo. 

The program ran successfully. However, there's nothing showing up in the grid below. 

Additionally, sometimes the command window will pop up with an error message called "TLV header error".

 

I assume that the program in the repo is correct. The only thing that went wrong is the cfg file.

I have read through the document in the Mmwave SDK and made some adjustments to it. But things still didn't get better. 

My question is that, which parameter in the cfg file below can I adjust to get the correct 2D point cloud data from the radar? 

Or, the problem is not even related to the cfg file?  

The cfg file below is the one I'm using.
