IWR1642BOOST: IWR1642BOOST： IWR1642Boost Matlab

Hi Eli,

This is not an issue with only having Matlab runtime, but ensure you are using version 9.2 (2017a). 

Have you been able to run the out of box demo with your device? Which version of Windows do you have? Please try running the GUI in administrator mode to ensure the connection issue is not due to permissions on your local machine.

Justin

Hi Eli, 

I have/(had) the same problem. I believe it is because you have loaded the code and try to run it from the CCS in debug mode. The Code Composer Studio takes over the emulator's com ports. To confirm load the software with uniflash and run the application. I think many people had the same issue. It may well be something else though.

I have windows 10 and how do I put the GUI in administrator mode? I was able to run the 1.2 SDK demo out of the box. I still can't get the people counter visualizer setup to see the ports on my computer. If it was a permissions issue on my computer, how would I know?

Thanks again  

I loaded the code using uniflash and it still can't see my ports on my computer.

Hi Eli,

I want to confirm some basics quickly:
1. After flashing, you should have a jumper on SOP0, and no jumper on SOP1 and SOP2
2. If your device says ES2.0 on the sticker, make sure you are using the newest version of the mmWave Industrial toolbox. Otherwise, use version 2.3.0
3. Have you been able to run other demos with your device? The Out of Box demo is good to check.

Justin

Yes I have the older toolbox, 2.3 and I only have the jumper on the SOP0. I have been able to run other demos on the board and connect to it such as the ros visualizer.

Hi Eli,

What version of Matlab runtime do you have? We only support 9.2 (2017a). We cannot guarantee the demo will work properly with different versions.

I am running the 9.2 matlab runtime. I followed all the steps on the lab guide.

Hi Eli,

Based on your discussion about GUI not identifying the correct comports.
Can you please provide a snapshot of the Windows Device manager COM port list.

This will help us identify two things.
1. Are the com ports correctly recognized by windows
2. Are the drivers correctly being associated with the comports.


Thank you,
Vaibhav

Closing Thread as problem is resolved externally.

Justin,

As an answer to your question I do run the application as an administrator. So 

1. how is the problem resolved "externaly"

2. I have an ES2.0 board to which it connects properly but I get no detections even if I move in front of it. I have kindly asked you to elaborate a bit more about the parameters in the config file that suppress the static objects. Can you please do that?

Is this problem resolved in any way? I had exactly the same issue in a separate thread and it did not go anywhere. The issue is with an ES1.0 board.

Hi Eli. Vaibhav
If the problem has been resolved can you please post the solution. I do have the same problem. Your help is appreciated.

Hi Adrian,

We are intending to release a GUI that will allow the user to manually enter the COM Port number, instead of relying on the autodetect feature which does not work on some machines.

Justin
