AWR1642: short range radar

Part Number: AWR1642

Hi team, 

I ran the short range radar example on the AWR1642boost board. While the interface was opening, I selected the reload box and the interface started working automatically. When I select the reload box I wonder, does it work with "basicCfg" or "advFrameCfg" settings?

Another question I have is, what do the boxes I see on the interface indicate when I run the srrdemo_16xx_mss project? What does the dot or box indicate?

  • Hi salim AYTAR,
    I hope that you are loading the application via ccs and by reload it means that you are reloading the code on the code composer studio window. So currently in the short range radar example, if you go to line number 111 under src\common\srr_config_consts.h
    you can notice that it defines both Short range as well as ultra short range, which signifies that it is working in advanced frame configuration(  #define SUBFRAME_CONF_SRR_USRR ).

    That is why every time you reload the code, it will give you the same configuration as these are statically set. You can use the alternate defines in the subsequent lines to be able to use other modes, which can be utilized for basic configuration. After doing the change, you will have to rebuild the code, then flash it and you will be able observe the output.
    Hope this answers some of your doubts. Do let me know if you have any other queries.
    Regards,

  • Thank you for your reply Saswat,

    When I edit it as USSR or SRR and run it, I see dots and squares outside the dots and boxes I want to see in the interface. I think there is a part of the code that I need to edit, but my edits did not work. I would appreciate it if you could let me know where I need to edit.

    Another question I have is, when I run the sample code, do the squares I see on the interface specifically symbolize an object, for example a car, human, dog, etc.?
    What do I need to do just to be able to symbolize people with squares?

  • Hi salim,
    Could you please share the portion of code you edited and what you have modified?
    To answer, the second question, the use case of classification you are looking at is not available currently.
    For more specific use case you can look at adding intelligence to the system by utilizing the fusion of camera and radar, which might be able to achieve your use case.
