IWR6843ISK: Problems with CLI and Visualizer

Nguyen Van Khoi

Part Number: IWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM, IWR6843,

I'm a newbie to this. I have some questions for u guys. Pls help me to figure out these:
1. i don't know what is the point that we need DCA1000EVM? when IWR6843 has an DSP C67x itself?
2. When i got mmWave SDK, what i can't do with this? I just see i call an CLI function to serve 1 Port as Configuration Input and another port as Output Data? Can't we take 1 fixed configuration send to IWR6843ISK and capture that data?
3.

    Hello,

    The DCA1000 is for the exporting of raw data. What we call raw data is the the unfilter, unprocess, dumped ADC data that requires very high speeds for transfer. UART/USB does not support the speed needed, so a second EVM is needed (DCA1000) to support transfer over Ethernet cable.

    This data is only useful for those looking to do radar processing algorithm development, and is very much not recommended for those new to radar.

    The kind of data you are probably looking for is point cloud data that shows objects detected by the radar sensor. All you need is the radar sensor EVM for this, and running one of the demos found in the Radar Toolbox on TI Developer Zone.

    Follow the guide linked to get started with outputting data after sending a configuration.

    Best Regards,
