AWR1642BOOST: TI Cloud Agent with Drive PX

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

Hi all,

We recently received NVIDIA Drive PX and intend to use the mmwave AWR1642 radar with it. I tried installing the TI cloud agent in order to run the Visualizer on Chrome but could not install it as the architecture was not supported (Drive PX has ARM Cortex processor). So is there any support for ARM cortex processors for the TI Cloud Agent or is there any other way to do so ? 

Thanks

    Hello Amol,
    In the demo application basically the PC is sending the configuration over the UART and receiving the object data over another UART port, intended for a demo only. If you want to use an external processor to do this instead you can send the same configuration over the UART of the processor and receive the object data as well. You will have to use the UART drivers provided by the processor you are using.

    Hi Vivek,

    Thank you for the reply. However, I intend to use the demo in the same exact way as we do on any x86 architecture PC i.e Running the project on the Code Composer Studio / Eclipse and then initializing the COM ports on the Visualizer and using the Visualizer to analyze the data. But when I tried installing the TI Cloud Agent I get an error suggesting wrong architecture. Is there any support of TI Cloud Agent for the ARM Architecture ? If not then is there any other way using which I can access the data of the radar? I know I can use the UART port directly. I wrote a c++ script that reads the UART messages but they are still in the raw format. Could you suggest some documentation that precisely describes reading from the UART port directly and obtaining outputs as we see on the Visualizer ?


    Thanks

    Hello,

    For Visualizer support on ARM, I need to get confirmation from concern team.

    Please refer doxygen document available at 'ti/demo/xwr16xx/mmw/docs/doxygen/html/index.html' for UART data format sent by mmw demo app to Host.

    Search for 'output information sent to host' in the same document.

    In the source code that is being done in 'xwr16xx\mmw\dss\dss_main.c : MmwDemo_dssSendProcessOutputToMSS' function.

    Hope this info will help you to implement your Visualizer equivalent app on Driver PX HW.

    Regards,
