Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , MATHLIB
Hello,
I am looking to integrate the mmWave sensor into an existing CANopen network on a robot. The sensor will be used to detect objects in proximity to the sensor. I've read through some of the white-papers and have come to the conclusion that I want to buy one sensor and test it in the lab. Then, if the sensor works in the application environment as expected, it will be installed in many more robots.
This is my first time working with TI products, and I am not very experienced in compiling and running software on a MCU, so I am looking to clarify my understanding of the available products/software that TI has available and how to use them for my project. Thank you in advance for help.
Right now I am trying to decide which board to purchase: IWR1642BOOST EVM or the non-EVM IWR1642. What I think I need is to implement something like the mmWave demo, add digital signal processing so that x,y coordinates are calculated using the DSS, and have the MSS talk on the CANopen network. So, what advantages can EVM give over the non-EVM board in this project?
Another question is about the mmWave SDK. There are two components, the mmWave suite and the demos. The SDK user manual however references the EVM board all the time. Am i correct in assuming that the mmWave suite, when used with the proper externals (TI RTOS, XDC Tools, CCS, TI ARM and C674X compiler, DSPLib and Mathlib), will allow me to compile an image file to be used with the non-EVM board?
