Tool/software:
Hi,
I'm new to mmWave radars and trying to evaluate low power modes using the following prebuilt binary:
C:\ti\radar_toolbox_3_10_00_05\source\ti\examples\Fundamentals\xWR6843_Low_Power_Modes\prebuilt_binaries\out_of_box_6843_aop_lp.bin
and config:
sensorStop

dfeDataOutputMode 1
channelCfg 15 5 0
adcCfg 2 1
adcbufCfg -1 0 1 1 1
lowPower 1 1

But I don't notice any difference in power consumption.
My goal is to compare power usage on the IWR6843ISK board between the standard out_of_box_6843_isk.bin
and the low power AOP binary.
My questions:
-
Can I load and run
out_of_box_6843_aop_lp.bin
on the ISK board and expect meaningful results? -
If not, is there an equivalent low power demo specifically for the ISK?
-
Would porting/modifying the AOP low power source code be the right approach for ISK?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
