Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM, AWR1843

Tool/software: Linux

Hello,

I have succesfully managed to run MRR demo inside

---  mmwave_automotive_toolbox\labs\lab0007_medium_range_radar with AWR1843BOOST

with

---- \labs\ lab0007-driver-Medium-range-radar\ gui\MRRvisualization\MRR_visualization.exe

Sensor is working nice but how can i use it with my C/C++ project in linux OS. Do you have any API that can i use ? If not can i read data from serial port ? How is the serial port data structured?

    Ibrahim,

    You can download the latest version of the mmWave SDK, version 3.1, for Linux. You can find it here: software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

    Just search for "Linux installer" on the page. Please also refer to the "Release Notes" on this page for specific instructions on using Linux with the mmWave SDK.

    Hello ,

    I have already download and install mmwave sdk for linux. But it is still not clear for me what to use to get any running sensor information.

    firstly i set environment with
    /mmwave_sdk_03_01_01_02/packages/scripts/unix/setenv.sh
    then a gmake clean and gmake at
    /mmwave_sdk_03_01_01_02/packages/ti/control/mmwavelink

    Everythings run well without error log. But there are'nt any runnable executable for pc.

    Inside
    /mmwave_sdk_03_01_01_02/packages/ti/
    --alg
    --common
    --control
    --datapath
    --demo
    --drivers
    --platform
    --utils

    to get sensor information which one and how should i use ?

    Ibrahim,

    The Visualizer for the Out-of-Box demo that is included in the SDK installation can be found here: dev.ti.com/.../

    It is recommended to run this visualizer using Google Chrome.

    Hello Kyle,

    I have already tried The Visualizer Demo and MRR demo gui. I manage to run them both. But how can i use them in my project if I cannot get sensor information ?

    How to connect radar ? Visualizer connects to sensor with ttyACM0 and ttyACM1 . When i monitor these ports. Data port "ttyACM1" sends bunch of binaries need to be converted.

    Are there only Out-of-Box demo , to use these sensor we need modifiable running sample code .

    Ibrahim,

    If you are looking to capture and analyze raw ADC data, you will need to use the DCA1000EVM. This device connects to your PC and captures raw binary ADC data that you can parse and analyze using MATLAB. You can configure the AWR1843 and DCA1000EVM using our mmWave Studio tool. Please keep in mind that mmWave Studio is only released for Windows.
