IWR1443BOOST: Visualizer for OutOfBox Demo

h_s

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443

I am running TI's python based mmWave visualizer from the toolbox:

ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_11_0\labs\People_Counting\visualizer\mmWave_People_Counting_GUI.exe

I have flashed following binary on my device: ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_11_0\labs\Out_Of_Box_Demo\prebuilt_binaries\xwr14xx_mmw_demo.bin

In the GUI, I have selected following profile: ti\mmwave_sdk_02_01_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr14xx\mmw\profiles\profile_2d.cfg

I see following error:

b'\rmmwDemo:/>sensorStart\n'
b'Debug: Init Calibration Status = 0x7fe\n'
gui_threads.py:170: RuntimeWarning: divide by zero encountered in log2

failed to read OOB SDK3.x TLV
unpack requires a bytes object of length 16
unpack requires a bytes object of length 8

Is there some configuration I am missing here?

I do not have permissions to install TI gallery app "mmWave Demo Visualizer"

Thanks!

Hi,

Looks like you are using the People Counting GUI. This gui is incompatible with the Out of Box Demo. For IWR1443BOOST please use the mmWave Demo Visualizer.

Can you elaborate what you mean by you do not have permissions to install? If you are unable to install the offline application you can use the browser version which I linked.

You should be prompted to select the visualizer version. In your case, you should select the second option "For mmWave SDK 2.x (xWR14xx, xWR16xx)". For more information regarding the visualizer please see the mmWave Demo Visualizer User's Guide.

Regards,

Josh

Based on what I understand so far, the mmWave Demo Visualizer needs a one time browser setup. I do not have the permissions to install browser extension.

Is there a separate application that I can install offline?

Hi,

You are correct. The browser version of the mmWave Demo Visualizer requires a browser extension. There is also another version of the mmWave Demo Visualizer that can be run offline. To install the application, navigate to https://dev.ti.com/gallery/ and search for "mmWave_Demo_Visualizer." Be sure to select version 2.1.0 which is required for the IWR1443 out of box demo.

Regards,

Josh

I did install it. The README.md mentions running a launcher.exe but I do not see it getting generated.

Hi,

Are you on a Windows machine?

During installation you can select to create a desktop shortcut which can be used to launch the application. Alternatively, you can run launcher.exe. Please confirm you are checking the correct location for the .exe. It should be located in C:\Users\<yourUserName>\guicomposer\runtime\gcruntime.v6\mmWave_Demo_Visualizer.

Regards,

Josh

I do not see option for shortcut creation. I ran gcruntime-6.1.1-windows-installer.exe

Also I do not see mmWave_Demo_Visualizer folder being created. I am on windows machine
