AWR1642BOOST: How to implement my own algorithms in AWR1642Boost and AWR1443Boost ?

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1443BOOST, DCA1000EVM

Currently I am suing the ti_mmwave_ros package in ROS to play around with AWR1443Boost and AWR1642Boost. How can I implement my own signal process algorithms on these evms ?

    Hello,

    The ROS Point Cloud Visualizer relies on the mmWave SDK mmw (out-of-box) demo firmware running on the mmWave EVM. The mmWave SDK is provided at the following link and can be used for developing and building custom firmware and algorithms on the mmWave devices. Please note which SDK version to use with which devices.

    www.ti.com/.../MMWAVE-SDK

    The mmw demo is described in the mmWave SDK user guide and can be used as a potential starting point for custom firmware. The ROS visualizer should be able to visualize the detected object data coming from the device as long as the output UART data format is kept the same.

    Aside from the mmWave SDK mmw demo, there are also many other examples/demos on the TI Resource Explorer. The output format of these are different and thus are not compatible with the ROS visualizer but each demo typically has its own custom GUI/visualizer. The links for the Industrial and Automotive examples are as follows.

    mmWave Industrial Toolbox:
    dev.ti.com/.../

    mmWave Automotive Toolbox:
    dev.ti.com/.../

    There are also several mmWave TI Designs for different applications which can be found by clicking on the various tabs from the following website for Industrial:
    www.ti.com/.../applications.html

    Or this website for Automotive:
    www.ti.com/.../applications.html

    If you are looking to develop custom algorithms that process the raw Radar ADC data then you may want to obtain a DCA1000EVM data capture card which allows for the raw Radar ADC data capture from the mmWave sensor EVMs.

    Please reply if you have more questions.

    Regards,
    John
