IWR1642BOOST: How to disabling CFAR in source code

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Hi,


I am using SDK 2.0.0.4 out of box demo. I am working on a use case which requires as much radar information as possible.
For this purpose I do not want CFAR data to be filtered out by device. I know that I can disable CFAR from "mmWave Demo Visualizer"/ or using .cfg file, but I want to do this inside the mss/dss source code.
I will really appreciate if you could provide me a way to disable CFAR inside source code.


Thanks in advance

    Hello Vikas,

    If you want as much radar information as possible a solution would be to to enable and capture the heatmaps. However, please note that the mmWave demo only supports 5fps or less update rate if the heatmap is enabled (due to UART limitations). If you would like to more data, a DCA1000 would enable streaming and capture of raw data to a PC without memory or update rate limitation: www.ti.com/.../dca1000evm
