Hi,

Is there a way to check if the binary for the out of the box demo is flashed onto to the IWR devices? I am trying to find a automated way to flash the binary if its not available on the board. Something like below

isFlashed = checkIfDemoFlashed

if ~isFlashed

flashBinary(cfgPort);

end

I am aware of version command, but if I just use version numbers, is there a possibility that it gives false outcome, if any other binary has the same version number of SDK

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Why are you wanting to check to see if the demo is flashed? Are you wanted to check over CLI / using a GUI or would you like to check by looking at the memory location where the flash is stored?

Thanks,

Angie

Hi Gayatri,

We do not currently have a specific CLI command support to check for the binary but one can be easily added to your image. You would need to add a function to the CLI file which when prompted by a cli command return that the OOB demo is flashed.

Is this something you would be interested in adding?

Thank you,

Angie

Hi Angie,

I would like to try adding a function to CLI file to this. Could you give me some pointers or references on how to do this.

Thanks

Hi Gayatri.

This is something we are actually implementing currently and will be released in the next toolbox. We have a guide on how to add CLI commands, so if you follow that general format you can add a CLI command to do this as well. Check out the developer's guide for code; I've linked it here. Here is a code snippet of my method as well you are free to modify it to fit your needs.

Can you let me know if the next version of mmwave SDK will contain this CLI command and if so when is the tentative release date of the SDK?

It is in the works of being added to the industrial toolbox, but we cannot give a release date.

Sincerely,
