AWR6843AOPEVM: Getting started

Johan Rasmusson

Part Number: AWR6843AOPEVM

Hi, I have just acquired an AWR6843AOPEVM and I am wondering if there is a Quick Guide to get started or some examples that can be used to get a quick and first assesment of the equipment. Or if you could help me how I get this product up and running and change parameters in the setup. 

At the moment I do not get very far with the quick start guide at the product page www.ti.com/.../spruj05.pdf and the QR code in this quick start guide to demos and examples is broken.

 

Best regards 

Johan

    Hey Johan,

    Thanks for reaching out regarding getting started with the AWR6843AOPEVM. First of all, I would recommend downloading the MMWAVE-SDK if you haven't already as it will be vital for software evaluation and development. After installing the package, you can navigate to the docs folder in the top-level package directory, open up the mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf, and go to the Getting Started section to see how to run the mmWave Demo. There's plenty of other useful information in this document as well, so feel free to take a look through it.

    Alternatively, you can also take a look at the Radar Toolbox Out-of-Box User Guide which walks through how to evaluate the Out-of-Box Demo/mmWave Demo and how to build and debug the project from source. I would also like to note that the Radar Toolbox is a great resource to explore for primarily end applications but also documentation and tools.

    Hopefully this gives you a better starting point, but let me know if you have any other questions.

    Regards,

    Kristien

    Thank you Kristien, it was very useful and we managed to get the AWR6843AOPEVM up and running with a demo GUI for AWR6443AOP. Now we want to continue with some additional test with parameters that are not supported by the GUI (as higher Frame Rate). Could you provide guidance on how this can be done and additionally we would like to capture and store the radar output to a txt file or other suitable format for post-test analysis. It would be great if this could be done by a Python script or other similar programming language (Java, C++ or other). 

    Best regards
