IWRL6432AOP: Custom Code Development

Part Number: IWRL6432AOP

Tool/software:

Hi, I am wanting to develop my own custom firmware for which I am just grabbing the point cloud data from the sensor and then pushing the data across UART if I am detecting some presence. I know I could use the TI OOB motion and presence detection, but for my use case I just need to grab the point cloud data and no other data needs to be computed. I was wondering how I would do so. Is there a library call to just grab the point cloud data? Also what is this point cloud data going to look like? Also I want to send my board into Low power between chirps. If I enable the Low Power in the config, is that what it is essentially doing. Thankyou!

  • Hello.

    I know I could use the TI OOB motion and presence detection, but for my use case I just need to grab the point cloud data and no other data needs to be computed. I was wondering how I would do so. Is there a library call to just grab the point cloud data?

    You will need to go through the full processing chain(range, doa, cfar) to get the pointcloud.  If you don't want to do motion and presence detection or tracking, you can disable those in the SW or via configuration.  You can also turn off all of the processed TLV outputs except for pointcloud via the guiMonitor cfg.  Just make the first parameter a 1 or a 2 based on the type of pointcloud you want and the remainder of the parameters as 0.

    Also what is this point cloud data going to look like?

    It will be a list of structs with the following information: x, y, z, velocity, snr, noise.

    Also I want to send my board into Low power between chirps. If I enable the Low Power in the config, is that what it is essentially doing.

    Yes.

    Sincerely,

    Santosh
