IWR6843AOPEVM: Utilize the xwr68xx_mmw_demo.bin file from mmWave SDK 3.6.2 with IWR6843AOPEVM

Tool/software:

Hi,

Is it possible to utilize the xwr68xx_mmw_demo.bin file from mmwave_sdk_03_06_02_00-LTS\packages\ti\demo\xwr68xx\mmw with the IWR6843AOPEVM? Although it functions, I suspect that differences in antenna settings might cause issues if I use this binary without modifications.

Thanks

Regards

Hi Gayatri,

Sorry for the delayed response. The binary will work with the IWR6843AOP. Antenna configuration are present in the configuration file. You need to use the correct CLI related to antenna to make it work with IWR6843AOP. Below are the CLI which are specific to antenna geometry

antGeometry0 -1 -1 0 0 -3 -3 -2 -2 -1 -1 0 0
antGeometry1 -1 0 -1 0 -3 -2 -3 -2 -3 -2 -3 -2
antPhaseRot 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1

Hi,

I couldn't find an explanation of the above commands in the mmWave SDK 3.6 user guide. Is it supported for Out of the box demo?

Thanks
