IWR1443: UART output data format and python reference

Part Number: IWR1443

Hi,

two questions:

[] I am looking for the document about the data format for the latest SDK. The link below shows the pdf docs in a table, but it indicates that this is in the SDK. I cannot find it there. Also we want to make sure that the format is for the latest SDK.

[] Is there a reference python script you can send that handles this format as a reference, again for the latest SDK?

  • Hi,

    on the UART output data format I can see the IWR16xx doxygen at

    C:\TI\mmwave_sdk_01_01_00_02\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw\docs\doxygen\html\index.html

    and the dataformat brief description there. If there is any additional information for the OOB demo please let me know.

    Additionally it would be great if we had a reference python script that can read the output stream.

    Regards,

  • Hi Gunter,

    The data format for 14xx is same with the 16xx. You can refer this document: file:///C:/ti/mmwave_sdk_01_01_00_02/packages/ti/demo/xwr14xx/mmw/docs/doxygen/html/index.html

    Also, you can refer the mmWave Visulizer's code to decode to data.

    Then, import to GUI Composer, and you can see how this GUI decode the data.

  • Hi Wesley,

    thanks, I see the js code for the Visualizer in the GuiComposer. But I can't find exactly the place where the Byte stream from the UART is being read. Can you point me to the right section?

    Are you aware of a simple Python script? I have heard mention of it in the BU.

    Thanks!

  • Hi Gunter,

    I sent you offline a python script to decode the UART byte stream. This is still work-in-progress and we may publish it later when ready.

    Best Regards,
