Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642, IWR6843, , IWR1443

Hello, I have buy iwr1443boost and i ran vital sign demo on board and it worked. I found python code that upload configure file on ti radar and receive data in real-time and process data in real- time and show vital sign result. the code was written for iwr6843 and iwr1642 and it did not work for iwr1443. i checked the data structure and noticed that iwr1443 data structure is different from iwr1642 and iwr6843 but i check matlab gui file that is in iwr1443 folder and the vital sign bytes where same and it was 128 byte but in table of data structure there is different between boards. my first question is about data structure of output data of boards. are they different?

my second question is about tlv type. in code that i mentioned tlv type is 2 for range-profile data and 6 for vital sign but when i ran code on iwr1443. i did not get any of these number and i searched a lot but i did not find any thing about tlv type value please help me.

Hi Mohammed,

The only supported vital signs demo is the Vital Signs with People Tracking demo for xWR6843 devices. This code does not work on xWR1642 or xWR1443. The labs which worked on xWR1642 and xWR1443 are deprecated and no longer supported by TI.

Thanks,

Angie

unfortunately,I realize this after i buy boards.it is not possible for me to buy new board (xwr6843) and i buy these boards for vital sign detection. i just need pre-built binary file of vital sign for xwr1642 that work like version 2.9.1 or 2.5. i will be so pleasant if you share these files with me.

thanks

Do you know about the problem with the forum below? I faced a similar problem, but I don't know if it's a software or hardware problem. The forum does not mention how to solve the problem.

please help me at least in this problem.

Hello Angie

I follow the recommendation guide and the result be the below picture. i ran vital sign demo on code composer with dss_main and mss_main and it worked

but when i want run other code in python to get data it showed the me error. when someone is not in front of the board heart rate is not zero in debug mode but breathing rate is zero and i think this a bug of program. my question is how can i make dss.bin and mss.bin file to same file in pre_build bianry folder and upload on board?

Please follow our ccs debug guide.

The binary will appear in the "debug" folder of the mss project in your workspace. The final binary built combines the dss and mss binaries (see project spec post build steps for details). See image below

Thank you,
