AWR2944EVM: Does MMWAVE-MCUPLUS-SDK have radar use case support

Part Number: AWR2944EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR2944, MMWAVE-MCUPLUS-SDK

Tool/software:

thinking about using the EVM for the AWR2944.

Does the MMWAVE-MCUPLUS-SDK have radar chip use case support?
Can it be used to build BIOS/DSP apps?
Does it have issues like the vision and radar sdks (abndoned)?

thanks

  • Hello,

    Yes, the SDK has support for the radar chip.

    No, all SDK apps are freeRTOS.

    No, this SDK has current support it is not "abandoned."

  • Thanks Gabriel-

    Can you tell me...

    -I have an interest in loading the config and capture from on the EVM itself - I expect these are now what is supported with FreeRTOS?

    -Also, is there example code to allow setup/capture and accessing the acquisition buffer using the DSP directly, without the need to read the stored file(s)?

    Thanks again for helping me understand this

  • Hello,

    Yes there is a DDM example in the SDK here that you can use

    C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_00_01\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_00_01\ti\demo\awr294x\mmw\awr2944_mmw_demoDDM.appimage

    In order to capture there is a visualizer available to use.

    https://dev.ti.com/gallery/view/mmwave/mmWave_Demo_Visualizer/ver/4.7.0/

    If you want to capture the actual .bin file you will need to data capture with the DCA1000.

    I am not quite sure what you mean by acquisition buffer but there are many driver examples present in the SDK that you could use to help your example. The following is where these examples are.

    C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_07_00_01\mcu_plus_sdk_awr294x_10_00_00_07\examples\drivers

    Best,
