IWR6843AOPEVM: Request example codes for development

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843, IWRL6432

Hi TI,

While I compare the resources between IWR6843 and IWRL6432, I am not sure these features for IWR6843 resources are available:

  1. Presence Detection
    1. IWR6843
      • Have not found related code resources in radar_toolbox_2_00_00_06 or mmwave_sdk_03_06_02_00-LTS.
      • Question: should I use the source code from \radar_toolbox_2_00_00_06\source\ti\examples\Area_Scanner\src\6843 for this feature.
    2. IWRL6432
      • Source code: MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_04_00_01\examples\mmw_demo\motion_and_presence_detection\source
  2. Zone Detection
    1. IWR6843
      • Have not found related code resources in radar_toolbox_2_00_00_06 or mmwave_sdk_03_06_02_00-LTS.
      • Question: should I use the source code from \radar_toolbox_2_00_00_06\source\ti\examples\Area_Scanner\src\6843 for this feature.
    2. IWRL6432
  3. Vital Signs
    1. IWR6843
      • Source code: Have not found in radar_toolbox_2_00_00_06.
      • Binary: radar_toolbox_2_00_00_06\source\ti\examples\Medical\Vital_Signs_With_People_Tracking\prebuilt_binaries
      • Question: Is IWR6843 for Vital Signs shares the same source code for IWRL6432?
    2. IWRL6432
      • Guide: radar_toolbox_2_00_00_06/source/ti/examples/Medical/IWRL6432_Vital_Signs/docs/vital_signs_user_guide.html
      • Source code: radar_toolbox_2_00_00_06\source\ti\examples\Medical\IWRL6432_Vital_Signs\src\6432

  • IWRL6432 and IWR6843 both have zone and presence detection, but they're done differently as you've identified. Using Area Scanner for 6843 and presence & motion for 6432 is correct. The vital signs code for 6432 and 6843 is not the same. Please use the correct software for the hardware you have in-hand.

    Best,

    Hi Nate,

    After I check the content of vital_signs_ISK_6m.cfg in radar_toolbox_2_00_00_06\source\ti\examples\Medical\Vital_Signs_With_People_Tracking\chirp_configs, then I knew that the source code for IWR6843 is using the radar_toolbox_2_00_00_06\source\ti\examples\People_Tracking\3D_People_Tracking\src\6843.

    Thanks Nate.

    Regards,
