AWR1642: About mmWave Sensing Estimator for AWR1642

Hi Nomo,

Right now, we don't have a tool/script for generating a cfg file. You need to parse the JSON file or read the values from the sensing estimator output window and generate the equivalent mmWaveLink API calls. Please be aware of the following considerations:

1. The Sensing Estimator generates parameters only for the ProfileCfg (rlSetProfileCfg) and FrameCfg (rlSetFrameCfg) mmWaveLink APIs i.e. it doesn't generate values for the complete set of API calls needed to initialize and configure the sensor (for example ADCconfig, Channel config etc). Please look at the mmWaveLink API doxygen documentation (C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_01_00_00_05\packages\ti\control\mmwavelink\docs\doxygen\html\index.html) and the OOB demo for a sample implementation of the configuration API calls required.
2. The mmWave Sensing Estimator generates values according to the capabilities of the selected device (14xx or 16xx) i.e. what is possible with the device, while the mmWave SDK Demo has been tested/supports only a small sub-set of configurations. This means that not all configurations generated using the mmWave Sensing Estimator will work with the SDK demos. The SDK demos show only one possible processing chain and do not claim to be a processing chain which can process all possible use-cases. In other words, the configurations generated using the Sensing estimator are a Super-set of what is supported by the SDK demos.
