AWR1243BOOST: ROS driver for AWR1243BOOST and how to run it in the ROS workspace

Part Number: AWR1243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243

Hi,

I have studied some related documents about AWR1243BOOST recently. And I hope to collect data from it for further application in the ROS workspace.

I know there is a related document about ROS driver setup guide, but it for TI mmWave 1443 or 1642 EVM.

(http://dev.ti.com/tirex/content/mmwave_training_1_6_1/labs/lab0006-ros-driver/lab0006_ros_driver_pjt/TI_mmWave_ROS_Driver_Setup_Guide.pdf)

I wonder is there any ROS driver for AWR1243BOOST or any document about how to run AWR1243BOOST in the ROS workspace.

Or if you have any other suggestion, please tell me.

Thank you very much.

    Hello Fang,

    AWR1243 has RF-front end only without any user space to run application. You need to have external MCU to control AWR1243 over SPI and then capture Raw ADC data from the device over CSI-2/LVDS and then process it.

    We don't have any standard SW package for AWR1243 and ROS. But still, you want to invest in ROS then you need to check if ROS can fulfill the requirement what an external MCU requires to control and capture data from AWR1243 device.

    Regards,

    Thank you.

    I have another question. From the demonstration video, it shows the detection result in 3D point cloud.

    (www.youtube.com/watch

    How can I genarate 3D point cloud data using only one AWR1243BOOST?

    I have captured the raw data from sensor using the TSW1400 board, but the result is just in 2D.

    Hello Fang,
    That demo on YouTube is based on Cascade setup which will be available on ti.com by year end. So till that time you need to live with 2D plot only provided by mmWave Studio.
    Else you can write your own script to process captured data and plot in 2D/3D.
