Tool/software:
Radar team,
The IWRL6432BOOST has current sensors on board, INA228, that are connected through I2C.
Is there a way to access the values measured through one of the visualizer GUIs?
Thanks,
Darren
Hi Darren,
Thanks for your patience here. Both the SDK visualizer ({MMWAVE_SDK5_INSTALL_DIR}/tools/visualizer) and the Application Visualizer ({RADAR_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_DIR}/tools/visualizers/Applications_Visualizer) can display the values measured by the on board current sensors if the output is enabled by the configuration file (.cfg).
For the power measurements to be output, the Stats TLV must be enabled in the guiMonitor command in the .cfg file that is used.
guiMonitor 2 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0
It is also important to note the required switch settings on the EVM to enable I2C. For the IWRL6432BOOST EVM this would mean S1.6 should be in the 'OFF' position.
In the SDK Visualizer, the average power consumption is calculated and displayed as well as the power consumption per rail. These can both be found on the Plots tab.
In the Applications Visualizer, the average power consumption is displayed on the left side by the frame number and other stats.
Best Regards,
Josh
