AWR1443BOOST: area scanner

Part Number: AWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, AWR1443

Hi,
I have the AWR1443Boost silicon revision 3.0.

I need to connect the radar to the pelvis of a subject and scan the environment during its ambulatory motion.

To have a first test run with the radar I was able to flash the demo binary file to the board (SDK version 2.1) but I am not able to flash anything else (it gives me the error: following binary is not suitable for the board), although I download it precisely for the xwr14xx board).

Which toolbox version do I need?

Additionally, is there any tool that may help me program the correct binary to flash to the device?

I hope I was clear enough.

Thank you kindly,

Max

Hi,

For flashing the device please use the Uniflash tool

https://www.ti.com/tool/UNIFLASH

The mmWave SDK demo binary is the only binary demo available for AWR1443.

Based on your other thread I think you were trying to run the area scanner gui on the board,

Let me assign this thread to the team that supports this demo

Thank you

Cesar

Hi,

To get started, I would recommend you just begin with the Out of Box Demo for the xWR1443 devices out of the mmWave Industrial Toolbox 4.12.1

Hi,
I already started "playing" with it. What I need now is the possibility to upload other binary files.

Thank you,

Hi,

As Cesar mentioned, Uniflash would be used to upload whatever binary that you may create. However, I do not believe that their is an existing lab in the Toolboxes that is more suited to your use case which is compatible for the xWR1443 device. This is why I recommend that you work with the Out of Box Demo. The Area Scanner Lab mentioned in the title of this post is only compatible with the xWR6843 device, as mentioned in the lab's user guide and release notes.

Best Regards,
Alec
