AWR1642BOOST: About log analysis of mmWave Demo Visualizer

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

I would like to analyze the mmWave Demo Visualizer logs according to the information in the following URL, but I don't know what I should enter in <DEVICE_COM_PORT> and <DEVICE_DATA_PORT> in the "python demo.py --command_port=<DEVICE_COM_PORT> --data_port=<DEVICE_DATA_PORT> --visualizer_data_loc=visualizer_data.dat."

https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/985107/awr1642boost-mmwave-demo-visualiser-captured-data

Can you tell us about it?

Best Regards,

Suguru Kato

  • Hi,

    The "DEVICE_COM_PORT" refers to the Application/User COM port described in the mmWave SDK UG.

    The "DEVICE_DATA_PORT" refers to the Data port described in the mmWave SDK UG.

    Please note that there are also python scripts provided in the mmWave SDK to parse recorded data.

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\parser_scripts\mmw_demo_example_script.py

    Thank you

  • Hi Cesar,

    I read the mmWave SDK UG and tried it with COM port numbers (COM3 and COM4 in my environment), but it did not work because the output json file is empty.

    Do I need to have the device connected when I run the script? Or is it wrong what I enter in <DEVICE_COM_PORT> and <DEVICE_DATA_PORT>?

    Also, I would like to try the python scripts provided with the mmWave SDK and would appreciate it if you could tell me where I can download them.

    Thank you,

  • Hi,

    First, are you able to record the data?

    Second, please use the python scripts provided in the SDK release.

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\parser_scripts\mmw_demo_example_script.py

    The python script that was mention in the thread have been developed by the forum community before the SDK python scripts wer released. So, today, they are obsolete.

    Thank you

  • Hi,

    Sorry, I could not find out how to obtain the following script. It would be helpful if you could let me know from where I can obtain it.

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\parser_scripts\mmw_demo_example_script.py

    Thank you,

  • Please install the mmWave SDK 3.5 from this link.

    https://www.ti.com/tool/MMWAVE-SDK?keyMatch=MMWAVE%20SDK

    After installing it, please read the User Guide which has a lot of useful information

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\docs\mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf

    Thank you
