AWR2944EVM: [Visualizer] display on "3D Plot" under "HECR + CAN-FD"

Part Number: AWR2944EVM

Tool/software:

Hi TI,

Can't using visualizer to display on 3D-Plot (HECR FW under CAN) 

Radar Board: AWR2944EVM Rev D.

Radar Toolbox: radar_toolbox_3.10.0.5

Demo: High end Corner Radar

Interface: CAN-FD

Can you setup by step describe about using Visualizer to display?

Thanks.

  • Hi Chen,

    Can you confirm if you are able to build AWR294x HECR demo with streaming of Object data over CAN enabled? I hope you are using the makefile build system to rebuild the application.

  • Hi Samhitha,

    you are using the makefile build system to rebuild the application.

    >>> YES, Did

    Using PCAN-View to check , it's working well.


    Please help to list step by step,

    "How to using Visualizer under CAN-FD interface"

    Thanks.

  • Hi HankChen,

    Choose the interface to be CAN-FD and click connect. Once the connection is established, you should see the below logs -

    Next click on Start without Send Configuration.

    Note: Open the visualizer and connect before running the application in CCS.

  • Hi Samhitha,

    will occurs error when second step: click on Start without Send configuration.


    Please help to check.
    Thanks.

  • HankChen,

    Seems like you have clicked on "Start and Send Configuration" instead of "Start without Send Configuration". Click on "Start without Send Configuration".

  • Hi Samhitha,

    nothing to shown..


    Note: Open the visualizer and connect before running the application in CCS. 
    >>> Open Visualizer directly, not in CCS

  • HankChen,

    Note: Open the visualizer and connect before running the application in CCS. 

    I meant to establish the connection in visualizer before running HECR demo using CCS.

    Are you running the HECR demo in CCS or you have flashed the demo? If you are using CCS, can you halt the core and see if there is any assert?

    Regards,

    Samhitha

  • Hi Samhitha,

    Already flashed the demo FW to AWR2944EVM

    and

    Using PCAN-Viewer checked, it's working well.

  • HankChen,

    In that case, after connecting to the visualizer and once the setup is ready, you can click on NRST button on EVM to reset the device. In HECR, since CLI is bypassed, Sensor starts immediately and tries to send the message over CAN. If CAN messages are not received through Visualizer or PCAN-View before next frame object data is available, the HECR application will hit an assert.

    If you followed the above-mentioned steps and still not able to see any plots, you can compare the CAN configuration in PCAN-View and the visualizer.

    The below screenshot shows the CAN configuration in visualizer - C:\ti\radar_toolbox_<ver>\tools\visualizers\Automotive_Visualiser\interfaces\canfd.py.

  • Hi Samhitha,

    canfd.py. setup same as your side
    (and it works on object detection mode, I think it's correct setup)

    I try a lot times NRST button after setup ready

    seems not work

    can you try it at your side?

    Thanks.

  • Hi HankChen,

    can you try it at your side?

    I have tested it at my end and it works well.

    In that case, compare the CAN configuration in PCAN-View and the visualizer. For this you can click on "..." button beside sampling point to check the bit timing configuration. The values that you have used in PCAN-View should match with the canfd.py configuration.

  • Hi Samhitha,

    I've also tested it on my end, and it works now. It turned out to be a loose connection on the cable to the CAN adapter.
    Thanks for your help.
