IWRL6432BOOST: Fall Detection Demo

Jacob Wyrick

Part Number: IWRL6432BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843, IWR6843AOP, IWR6843ISK, IWR6843AOPEVM

Tool/software:

Hi team - I see in the related E2E post that there is not fall detection demo planned for IWRL6432BOOST, but the resource explorer says there is a fall detection demo coming soon. Can you advise which is true?

https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AMCLMqrTRHPoBXbGw9PqxA__radar_toolbox__1AslXXD__LATEST

If it is coming soon, when will it be available?

If it is not planned, should we use the IWR6843 as recommended in the related thread?

Thanks,

Jacob

Hi Jacob,

The work had been deprioritized for a while, truthfully, the note mentioning 'coming soon' should have been removed but this was missed. However, this is a bit of a coincidence now because we do actually have a fall detection example for IWRL6432BOOST planned in the next toolbox release which can be expected next month.

Regards,

Josh

Hi Prasad,

No problem. For IWR6843 devkits, for Vital Signs with People Tracking both IWR6843ISK and IWR6843AOP are supported. For fall detection (6843), the example mentions this note on device support:
"This experiment was tested with the 3D People Tracking demo, as detailed above. While the results were taken using an IWR6843AOPEVM antenna, this experiment is compatible with all antenna patterns for the IWR6843 device. If using a different board, an corresponding configuration file for that board should be used."

Best regards,

Josh

Hi Josh,

Hi,

We got one of https://www.ti.com/tool/IWR6843AOPEVM,

Unfortunately links for this new dev kit are way fuzzier. It didn’t lead me anywhere regarding vitals and fall detection. So, I searched internet to find a way to make it work. Found following Sources-

https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/1089854/iwr6843aopevm-example-proj…

and

https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/1062211/iwr6843aopevm-fall-detecti…

Even when I found the mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_12_1 tried to load examples from it . Still do not see anything showing up in –

labs\Vital_Signs\68xx_vital_signs\gui\gui_exe\ VitalSignsRadar_Demo.exe

I made sure to load the prebuilt firmware from –

labs\Vital_Signs\68xx_vital_signs\prebuilt_binaries

After that I again tried this new board IWR6843AOPEVM, with radar_toolbox_3_20_00_04.

Here my observation still same as IWRL6432BOOST, observed point clouds showing in the industrial visualizer still no vitals. Here used following –

Binary:

radar_toolbox_3_20_00_04\source\ti\examples\Industrial_and_Personal_Electronics\Vital_Signs\Vital_Signs_With_People_Tracking\prebuilt_binaries\ vital_signs_tracking_6843AOP_demo.bin

Config:

radar_toolbox_3_20_00_04\source\ti\examples\Industrial_and_Personal_Electronics\Vital_Signs\Vital_Signs_With_People_Tracking\chirp_configs\ vital_signs_AOP_2m.cfg

Visualizer:

radar_toolbox_3_20_00_04\tools\visualizers\Applications_Visualizer\Industrial_Visualizer

Any help to make it work will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
