AWR1642BOOST: mmw Demo with embedded configuration (w/o CLI) - but still want to use PLOT tab of Demo Visualizer

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

Hi,

I followed the instructions in this e2e thread (  ) in order to bypass the CLI and have an embedded configuration of the RF front-end. This seems to work, as I get the terminal output on the DATA UART port (seeing the magic word etc., so I suppose the data is correct), if using TeraTerm for example.

Is it still possible to visualize the data using the PLOT tab of Demo Visualizer? What needs to be done to enable this?

Background is that I would like to have the same or slightly different configuration on several AWR1642BOOST EVMs by flashing them with the same or different FE configs and let them work by themselves. I do not want to have the need to connect a Laptop to download the configs to the device on every reset of the device.

But on the other hand I would still like to have the opportunity to connect to any of the EVMs and check it is proper function by looking at the PLOT tab, seeing objects etc.

Many thanks and best regards,

Gregor

    Hello Gregor,
    Current Visualizer version tightly coupled with CLI configurations. It initializes its units (plot, summary tables etc.) based on CLI commands itself then it'll ready to listen object data from other COM port.

    If you want to run Visualuzer with No-CLI version of APP then you need to modify the Visualizer source code so that it can listen object data without any CLI commands.

    mmWave-Demo Visualizer provides an option where you can import source code to your TI GUI composer workspace. Go to Help->Download and Clone Visualizer option at mmwave-Demo Visualizer webpage.

    Hi Jiten,

    thanks for Your inputs. I will check out the java source code of mmWave Demo Visualizer and see, if I can only trigger the functions need to get the plots running with embedded FE configuration.

    I just hope, that there is no synchronization necessary between GUI plot display and actual data going over the serial port. Basically automatically detecting and handling the data starting from the magic word on ...

    Thanks and best regards,

    Gregor
