IWR1443BOOST: mmwave-STUDIO and mmwave-SDK

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-STUDIO, MMWAVE-SDK,
  1. Questions about mmwave-STUDIO

   ・The TI website states that DAC1000EVM or MMWAVE-DCP-EVM is required as a condition for direct connection to the mmwave-STUDIO mmwave sensor module.  

    Can mmwave-STUDIO be used without these EVMs?

   ・Is DAC1000EVM or MMWAVE-DCP-EVM necessary for applications that do not require streaming transmission?

  1. Questions about mmwave-SDK

   ・If mmwave-SDK is connected to the cloud demo, will mmwave-SDK be automatically executed?

   ・Can it be used offline?

  1. Questions about IWR1443BOOST

   ・Will external commands be obtained from the SPI line or UART line?

   ・Will external detection condition settings be obtained from the SPI line or the UART line?

   ・Is the detection data (distance, etc.) obtained from the UART line?

Thanks with Best Regards

  • Hello.

    Questions about mmwave-STUDIO

    1)  The use of at least one of the mentioned EVM's is required to use mmWave Studio

    2)  The DCA1000 is used for data collection as it utilizes ethernet to send large amounts of raw adc data from the device to your computer.  However, if you wish to stream data without the DCA1000, you can utilize the UART and SPI pins to stream data over from the device.

    Questions about mmwave-SDK

    1)  I'm not sure what you are asking, do you mean if you are running the out of box demo on the device, and connect with the demo visualizer online, will it execute immediately?  If so, the demo will execute as soon as you switch the board into functional mode and send a configuration that includes the sensor start command.

    2)  If you wish to utilize the visualizer offline, we recommend you use the Industrial visualizer found in <toolbox_install>/tools/visualizers/Industrial_Visualizer/.

    Questions about IWR1443BOOST

    1/2)  These are all configuration commands that are sent to the device over UART

    3)  Data from the device will be sent over in packets in Type, Length, Value(TLV) packets over UART.

    Sincerely,
