IWR6843AOPEVM: How much code is run on the eval kit?

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843AOP

I have been using the IWR6843AOP for some weeks and there is something I do not understand yet from it. I have ran the Demo Visualizer as well as multiple labs when connected to my laptop. In order to run any of these or a similar experiment would I always need the kit to be connected to a pc or is it possible to run something without a pc?

Also, is the source code that is inside the radar available anywhere? I can only find the labs and the python visualizer source code.

Thank you for your time,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

The device will run regardless of its connection with a PC, but we always suggest connecting with a PC to see the output. As far as I know, all the main processing that gets done in the labs is run on the radar device. We do this intentionally to show what performance would look like in production.

The source code is available in the industrial toolbox here. Follow the instructions in the developers guide here for an example of how to flash/modify the src code.

Best,

Nate
