MMWAVE-L-SDK: Is the Visualizer available under Linux?

Part Number: MMWAVE-L-SDK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWRL6844, IWRL6844

Tool/software:

Hi

I have just downloaded the shell script to install the latest MMWAVE L SDK (v 06.00.03.00) under linux and iÍ realized, that the visualizer tool is only available as an .exe file, which can not be run natively under linux.

So I tried using wine and bottles to get it running, but neither of them worked.

At least bottles gave me an output to a terminal, that it faces some permission issues:

wineserver: using server-side synchronization.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "visualizer.py", line 236, in <module>
File "visualizer.py", line 210, in setup_logging
File "os.py", line 225, in makedirs
PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access denied: 'Z:\\run\\user\\1001\\doc\\d308a8e
3\\logs'
[204] Failed to execute script 'visualizer' due to unhandled exception!

Looks like the visualizer is written in python.
Is there a way to get the scripts to have the visualizer for linux as well?

Thanks in advance and BR

    Hello, 

    Can you please let me know what device you are using? 

    Yes, unfortunately the visualizer shipped with the SDK currently only supports Windows OS. Let me check if there are any python scripts that are available to be shared and get back to you. 

    There is also a MATLAB based visualizer (here) which you can access by downloading the radar toolbox in case that would be of any help. 

    Best regards,

    Josh

    Hi Josh,

    I am working with the AWRL6844 EVM.

    Is the MATLAB based visualizer working with the basic OOB Demo aswell?

    Hey,

    Looks like this thread got picked up by a different engineer, so sorry for any confusion here. The MATLAB visualizer Josh linked only works with the AWRL6844 in-cabin demos - i.e., seat belt reminder, child presence detection, and intrusion detection. For the Out-of-Box/mmWave demo, you can run the Radar Toolbox Body and Chassis Visualizer directly from Python source code under <RTB_INSTALL_DIR>/tools/visualizers/Applications_Visualizer/Body_And_Chassis_Visualizer/gui_main.py. There are also supporting Python functions and files contained within <RTB_INSTALL_DIR>/tools/visualizers/Applications_Visualizer/common that you can take a look through as well.

    Let me know if this helps or if you need some more information!

    Regards,

    Kristien

    Hi Kristien,

    thanks so much for the fast reply!

    I have taken a look at the mentioned Body_And_Chassis_Visualizer and got it running (after dealing with a couple of dependency issues).

    In the device drop down menu of the GUI, there is no option for AWRL6844 though.
    As we are currently still struggling with flashing the 6844 device, I was not yet able to test, whether any of the other listed devices would be compatible.

    Nonetheless, this resolves this issue here and we will be creating a separate topic for our flashing issues.

    Thanks again and BR

    Hello,

    I'm glad I was able to help! Regarding the missing AWRL6844 option, do note that the xWRL6844 device option supports AWRL6844 and IWRL6844. If that option is missing completely from the Device selection, please ensure you are using the latest Radar Toolbox, 2.30.00.12.

    I'll keep an eye out for your post regarding the flashing issues.

    Cheers,

    Kristien
