IWR1642BOOST: Get Started with IWR1642 BOOST evm

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK,

Hello,

This si Fady Aziz, Fraunhofer IPA, Germany.

I am now trying to get started with the IWR 1642 BOOST and I am lost with searching too much the last two days.

I have followed the steps here in this video:

ti.com/StartIWR1642

It is now connected correctly and I can see it in Com ports in Windows,

Then after that I have tried to use this link:

dev.ti.com/mmWaveDemoVisualizer

It is always giving me this message

I have made all teh steps that i can make and unistalled the anti-virus totally from my PC without the problem being solved

I have also received an advice from Customer Support to install CCS v7 and then import the project from there. I have installed but couldn't import and didn't understant what to import.

I have some issues and questions:

1- I need to solve the problem of the online GUI

2- Is there any normal GUI I can install on my PC and run the kit.

3- Is there anyway to connect the sensor through MATLAB?

4- All the demos I have fiund were for IWR 1443 Is there any demos available for IWR 1642 ?

5- Can the demos work for both sensors? I have studied the hardware differences between both radar systems.

Thank You,

Fady Aziz

  • Hi Fady,

    When did you get your IWR1642BOOST? Also what version of mmWave-SDK are you using?

    There is no error message listed in your post above.

    Current demos on TI-REX for IWR1642BOOST are People Counting, Traffic Monitoring, Short Range Radar, High Accuracy, and all of the labs in the Automotive Toolbox.

  • Hi Akash,

    ThanK You for your reply.
    I have received it from some weeks but I have started to operate on it from two days.

    The error message is :
    TI Cloud Agent Installation
    Could not launch TI Cloud Agent : Failed to start TICloudAgent . Please perform the actions listed below and try your operation again.

    I have installed it and tried many times but it is not solved yet.

    I hope you can help me more.

    Thank You,
    Fady

  • Hi Akash,

    I could finally resolve this problem.

    However, my questions from 2-5 are not answered in my first message.

    Thank You,

  • 2- Is there any normal GUI I can install on my PC and run the kit.
    The Standard Visualizer is available for offline use through the GUI Composer Runtime Program.

    3- Is there anyway to connect the sensor through MATLAB?
    Yes, You'll need to use the Serial() function to establish a UART connection.

    4- All the demos I have fiund were for IWR 1443 Is there any demos available for IWR 1642 ?
    Current demos on TI-REX for IWR1642BOOST are People Counting, Traffic Monitoring, Short Range Radar, High Accuracy, and all of the labs in the Automotive Toolbox.


    5- Can the demos work for both sensors? I have studied the hardware differences between both radar systems.
    Unfortunately only the currently listed demos are available for their particular devices.
