AWR1843BOOST: Porting zone occupancy demo from IWR1443 to AWR1843 or IWR1642

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, IWR1642, IWR1443, AWR1843, SYSBIOS

As the title says, could someone please provide me some info on how to port Zone occupancy demo from 14xx to 16xx or 18xx?

    Hi,

    A demo that runs on IWR1443 is implemented on the hardware accelerator and the ARM R4F. This demo can't run on IWR1642 or AWR1642 directly because these devices do not include a hardware accelerator. The demo would have to be implemented on these devices.

    On the other hand, AWR1843 includes a hardware accelerator. So, the demo should run with minor changes related to the memory map.

    I will write an FAQ on this topic next week and will forward to you

    thank you

    Hi Cesar,

    I guessed it should be like that. Thanks very much for quick answer. Waiting for your email, don't forget me :)

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    First you will need to modify the CCS project spec to build the demo for awr1843 platform.

    Next, you need to replace all the references to "SOC_XWR14XX_MSS_HWA_MEM_SIZE" with "SOC_XWR18XX_MSS_HWA_MEM_SIZE"

    Could you try and check if you are able to build the code?

    thank you

    Hi,

    It failed to build. I've tried changing sdk, xdc, and sysbios versions compared to the default ones too, I've always got some errors. I will try to work through them, and post here if i succeed. 

    Thanks,

    Dear Cesar,

    Your suggestions do help me build the project. But the binary that i get doesn't work on AWR1843. SDK 1.xxx doesnt work for AWR1843. When i change the sdk to 3.xxx there are too many incomaptibilities, and i have no idea what to use. 

    Do you have any advice, or should i just give up on this?

    Regards,

    Aleksa

    Hi,

    I checked with the team that developed the zone occupancy demo on 14xx.

    This demo is special because it does not implement an new processing chain on the target. It uses the mmWave SDK OOB demo and it just implements a special gui.

    The team has ported this gui to the 6843 device. The new lab was renamed to "Area scanner" but the functionality is the same.

    mmwave_industrial_toolbox_3_6_1__win\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_3_6_1\labs\lab0021_area_scanner_68xx

    The 6843 device is similar to 1843 except that it runs at 60GHz instead of 77GHz.

    So, if you would like to run the zone occupancy demo on AWR1843, I think the easiest path is as follows:

    1) install sdk 3.02 if not already installed

    2) run the oob demo for AWR1843

    3) Understand the gui in "mmwave_industrial_toolbox_3_6_1__win\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_3_6_1\labs\lab0021_area_scanner_68xx\gui\mmw_area_scanner.m"

    4) Run this gui with AWR1843 OOB demo

    Hope this helps

    thank you

    Cesar
