IWR1443BOOST: Dumping raw data from mmwave.

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST

Hi,

I am using IWR1443BOOST.

Please tell me how to dump the raw data such as Angle Estimate, Range Estimate etc. Is there any option in CCS project to enable this?

Thanks.

  • Hi Rahul,

    The mmWave out of box demo sends the information you are looking for to the browser based GUI. You can circumvent the GUI and parse the packets yourself to get the data. The packets are detailed in the mmWave demo documents: mmwave_sdk<VER>/packages/ti/demo/xwr16xx/mmw/doc/doxygen/html

  • Hi Justin,

    Thanks for the guide.

    But what about the Traffic Monitoring lab? There is no CCS code for that. Neither getting data on browser based GUI. How can i get the raw data from that lab? Please elaborate the steps.

    Thanks.

  • Hi,
    Any update?
  • Hi Rahul,

    The Traffic monitoring demo sends data out in 2 parts. The first is the Data output header, which is 17 bytes in total.

    Bytes 0-7: Magic Word: 0x0102030405060708. 

    Bytes 8-11: Interframe processing cycles

    Bytes 12-15: Noise energy

    Byte 16: Number of detected objects

    After the Data output header, the detected object data is sent. You can download the source code to understand what the detected object data looks like. Start at mss_main.c line 421 to see the construction of the UART message. You also will need to look at dss_main.c line 690 to see the Data output header. View dss_data_path.h and radarProcess.h to see definitions of the structs used.

    Regards,
