IWR6843ISK: No data on Vital sign measurements Demo

Hello, 

Can you share with us your switch configurations? You must switch the device into functional mode after flashing and toggle the NRST button.

Have you gotten your setup to successfully run the Out of the Box Demo? 

Regards,

Luke

Hi,

Please my switch configurations for the EVM and MMWAVEICBOOST board in functional mode. Yes, the EVM works with the Out of the Box Demo without the MMWAVEICBOOST board. I tried to run the standalone EVM with the vital sign binary, but the labs doesn't recognize it. In the case of vital sign demo, The EVM must be connected to MMWAVEICBOOST board?

Thanks

The switch settings you have listed are for using the EVM in standalone mode. When using the EVM combined with the MMWAVEICBOOOST the settings should be changed to:

S1.1: OFF

S1.2: OFF

S1.3: OFF

S1.4: OFF

S1.5: ON

S1.6: N/A

The demo will run on the EVM by itself (standalone) however, the MMWAVE ICBOOST carrier board is required for running the visualizer (GUI). Can you please elaborate what you mean by it not being recognized when running standalone? What behavior do you see?

Hi,

I also tried in EVM+MMWAVE ICBOOST mode the sent S1 settings (S1.1: OFF, S1.2: OFF, S1.3: OFF, S1.4: OFF, S1.5: ON, S1.6: N/A) and no data on the Gui demo.

In standalone mode and with the flashed bin "out_of_box_6843_isk.bin", the mmWave_Demo_Visualizer 3.6.0 shows the results and it's ok. But by flashing the EVM standalone with "vital_signs_demo_68xx.bin" and trying to get results from the VitalSignsRadar_Demo.exe GUI, the peripherical ports are not recognized

These are the correct settings for the IWR6843ISK EVM. Please also confirm that you have the correct settings for the MMWAVE ICBOOST board as seen in the image below.

Additionally, once the correct settings have been applied for functional mode press the nReset button on the ICBOOST to ensure proper SOP mode is latched.

This is expected. The user guide for that demo notes that the ICBOOST board is required for the GUI.

Hi,

The settings switch of IC boost is correct, the SOP is also OK. I press the NRST button after each configuration change.

As I said in the first message, when running VitalSignsRadar_Demo.exe with EVM+ICBOOST, I get the following messages :

"QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for on_buttonBox_accepted()"

That could be the root cause? no?

Another cause: the version compatiblity !! Please check my versioning:

mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_12_1; XDS110; IWR6843ISK ES2

Thanks for your support
