IWR6843AOP: IWR6843AOP

Part Number: IWR6843AOP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843

Tool/software:

We are planning to interface the IWR6843AOP radar sensor directly with the Raspberry Pi 5, instead of using its default CC2642 MCU we are planning to use raspberry pi processor. We would like to know if this setup is possible, and if so, how we can achieve it. we’d like to understand how to install firmware and run the 3D people counting.bin file on the Raspberry Pi 5.

    If you are using the IWR6843AOP, you will be running the 3d people counting binary on the radar device itself and send the data out via a serial interface like UART or SPI(the demo uses UART).  As long as you have a UART connection on the Raspberry PI, you can write a parsing script to read the UART data and extract the processed radar data(like the point cloud and tracks).  Its a matter of what you want the Raspberry Pi to do as most of the actual processing is done on the radar device itself.

    here we are only integrating radar module to raspberry pi by creating separate circuit board, and we are not including its Arm m4 MCU(As per evolution board) ,instead of MCU we will be using raspberry pi processor. and .bin file will storing inside MCU.  considering these is it that simple ?

    Hello.

    I understand, this was not clear to me before.  The IWR6843 has an integrated MCU so it is not like you can exclude the arm core.  What you could do is just have the on-chip processing route the ADC data over SPI to the Raspberry Pi so that you can do your offline processing.
