IWR6843LEVM: guiMonitor is not recognized as a CLI command

Part Number: IWR6843LEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR6843

When I send the config b"guiMonitor -1 1 1 0 0 0 1\n' to chip using the UART command port, i meet this issue, the reponse is 'guiMonitor is not recognized as a CLI command', but other commands can be set successfully, I want to know if this command is supported on IWR6843LEVM? 

By the way, i want to get the output data using UART data port (baudrate is 921600)? how can i control the output data format? 

  • Hi,

    Can you provide a little more information on your setup such as which binary you flashed the device with, which SDK/toolbox version you are using to get that binary?

    The data output format is structured coming from the device. Please see this guide for details on the format/structure of the data: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?a=VLyFKFf__4.10.0&node=A__ADnbI7zK9bSRgZqeAxprvQ__radar_toolbox__1AslXXD__LATEST

  • Hi Tim, 

    Thanks for your support.

    Sorry, the link you gived me shows '403 Forbidden'

    The flushed image of my chip is 'radar_toolbox_1_10_00_13\source\ti\examples\InCabin_Sensing\AWR6843_CPD_with_Classification\prebuilt_binaries\occupancy_detection_3d_68xx.bin', the SDK version is v3.6, and my chip is IWR6843LEVM.

    I have reflushed my chip today using the new image 'radar_toolbox_1_10_00_13\source\ti\examples\Out_Of_Box_Demo\prebuilt_binaries\out_of_box_6843_isk.bin', now the guiMonitor command is supported successfully.

    But I encountered a new problem, when I set different parameters for guiMonitor, the data format obtained through the UART data serial port is also different, now I need to parse the output data format, is there a reference document? I just find the header struct definition at 'ti/mmwave_sdk_03_06_00_00-LTS/packages/ti/demo/xwr68xx/mmw/docs/doxygen/html/struct_mmw_demo__output__message__header__t.html', thank you.

  • Hi,

    The AWR6843_CPD_with_Classification demo was not created by our industrial team - it is meant for AWR parts not IWR parts which you are using. Please continue to use the OOB demo or other IWR demos.

    Please look at radar_toolbox_1_10_00_13\docs\software_guides\Understanding_UART_Data_Output_Format for more information about the data streaming from the device.

    Regards,

    Tim

  • Hi Tim,

    Thanks for your support, I  can't find a demo of CPD_with_Classification for IWR6843LEVM in the 'radar_toolbox_1_10_00_13\source\ti\examples\InCabin_Sensing\' directory, the demos are all for AWR6843, do you have the demo for IWR6843LEVM about CPD_with_Classification? 

  • Hi Dave,

    No I don't have a demo for the IWR device for that lab. In theory with some small modifications you could take the source code and get the demo working on the IWR device with the guiMonitor flag enabled.

  • Hi Tim,

    Got it, thanks for the tip, I will try it.
