IWRL6432: Range Doppler Heatmap output over UART

Part Number: IWRL6432

Hi,

We are trying to output a range doppler heatmap over UART, but it seems like this is not supported in the 5.02.00.02 SDK. Looking through the demo code it seems like all of the information that can be sent over UART is stored in the DPC_ObjectDetection_ExecuteResult struct, but this struct does not seem to contain an element for the range doppler heatmap.

My question is whether getting the DPC to output a range doppler heatmap is possible with this version of the SDK and if so how would one go about getting that information out?

  • Hello, 

    Sorry for the delayed response here. 

    The presence and motion detection demo in this version of the SDK does not store a range-doppler heatmap as an alternate processing chain is used. We do have a dopplerproc DPU (<MMWAVE_SDK5_INSTALL_DIR>/source/datapath/dpu/dopplerproc) which can output a range-doppler heatmap but we do not currently have an full demo which integrates this DPU. A full demo which integrates this DPU and would support range-doppler heatmap output is expected in the next SDK release. 

    For the time being, you can refer to the dopplerproc DPU example code at <MMWAVE_SDK5_INSTALL_DIR>/examples/datapath/dopplerproc. 

    Best Regards,

    Josh

  • Thanks for the response Josh,

    Do you know when the next SDK released is planned for?

  • Hi, 

    The next SDK (5.3) should be released very soon. It is planned for this month.

    Best Regards,
