IWRL6432BOOST: Only one frame of Doppler Range Heat Map is sent after enabling Doppler Range Heat Map in guiMonitor settings

Part Number: IWRL6432BOOST

Tool/software:

Setup Information:

  • Hardware: IWRL6432BOOST

  • SDK Version: MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_05_03_00

  • Firmware Image Used:
    MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_05_03_00\examples\mmw_demo\mmwave_demo\prebuilt_binaries\xwrL64xx-evm\mmwave_demo.release.appimage

  • CFG Base Profile:
    C:\ti\MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_05_03_00\examples\mmw_demo\mmwave_demo\profiles\xwrL64xx-evm\parking_5m.cfg

Symptom:

After loading the modified CFG file, only the first frame of Range Doppler Heat Map is received, then no more data is sent.

  • This behavior occurred after modifying guiMonitor to guiMonitor 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0

Expected Behavior:

  • Continuous Range Doppler Heat Map data streaming after frame start, not just a single frame.

Question:

  • Is there any limitation or additional setting required to enable continuous Range Doppler Heat Map transmission?
  • Could the baudRate or sigProcChainCfg affect continuous streaming?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
