    Hi Madan,


    The IWR1443 Vital Signs lab currently only supports IWR1443 ES2.0 (and corresponding mmWave SDK 1.2.0.5). It will be ported to ES3.0 (and corresponding mmWave SDK 2.1.0.4) in one of the future Industrial Toolbox releases (specific release date is not available at this time).

    Here are the steps we will likely follow to port the current IWR1443 Vital Signs lab to mmWave SDK 2.1.0.4 for IWR1443 ES3.0.  You are welcome to try it yourself in the meantime if desired.

    1. Compare the latest 1443 OOB demo lab projectspec which supports mmWave SDK 2.1.0.4 to the projectspec in the previous version of that lab from Industrial Toolbox v2.5.2 (which supported mmWave SDK 1.2.0.5) and then make the same type of changes to current Vital Signs projectspec

    2. Compare the 1443 OOB demo source code from mmWave SDK 2.1.0.4 to the source code in mmWave SDK 1.2.0.5 and then make the same type of changes to current IWR1443 Vital Signs source code as needed

    3. Import the newly created IWR1443 Vital Signs Lab projectspec and build the project

    Please note the following important differences between IWR1443 ES2.0 and ES3.0:

    1. Single MetaImage binary: IWR1443 ES3.0 requires flashing a single MetaImage binary as compared to the two binaries flashed on ES2.0 (RadarSS and MSS firmware). This is taken care of in the postbuildsteps in the above referenced projectspec for the IWR1443 OOB demo. Make sure that you merge the required projectspec changes correctly. This is also discussed in this post
    2. Low Power Mode mandatory: As mentioned in SDK 2.1.0.4 user guide, It is mandatory to enable ADC low power mode for IWR1443 ES3.0. Make sure to add the following line in the profile configuration. lowPower 0 1. Please refer to this post for more details.
