AWR1642BOOST-ODS: Extract Heatmap from OOB firmware

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST-ODS
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM

Hi,

I am working on extracting the range velocity heatmap and range-azimuth heat map from the OOB demo. I learned from some previous posts in this forum that the OOB demo is not made for ODS version radar. However, I do not really need the calculated distance, I just need the FFTed heatmap and azimuth information. Would you suggest me a way that I can go alone? Can I achieve this goal without changing the firmware? Or maybe I could use the object detection firmware for the ODS board? Currently, I've built a connection via USB and plotted the position data. 

Best,

Song

    Hi,

    In order to achieve this, some changes are needed. It is not possible to get this information out of the box.

    It may be easier for you to collect raw data using the DCA1000 capture card and process the data in matlab.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply. I do have the DCA1000EVM. But I want the rang-azimuth heatmap and range-elev heatmap which are provided by ODS demo.

    If I use the DCA1000EVM, i will have to calculate these heatmaps from raw data. But the ODS demo did not have a document explaining how they were calculated w/1642ODS radar placement. OOD demo documents did explain that but the OOD demo does not support AWR1642ODS.

    Best,
