CCS/IWR1443BOOST: Compiling People counting and tracking lab for IWR1443BOOST

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443, IWR6843, IWR1843BOOST, IWR1642BOOST, MMWAVEICBOOST, IWR6843ISK

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

Is it possible to compile the following lab
http://dev.ti.com/tirex/content/mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_0_0/labs/people_counting/16xx_people_counting/docs/pplcount_user_guide.html
for the IWR1443BOOST EVM ? If not so, It is because the IWR1443BOOST has not DSP integrated, that is a mandatory component for the tracking or detection part ?

Best Regards,

    Hello

    We see that you have posted multiple question for compiling demos  of one platform to another.

    eg. :  https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/p/908253/3356682  

    At this point we would like to know the motivation of trying to run the demo on IWR1443. Please help us understand the needs of your application and targeted performance criteria.

    Some features for the IWR6843 based demo utilizes the DSP core of the device.  Please see the details in the TIDEP-1000 Ti design.

    Thank you,

    Vaibhav

    Hi Vaibhav,

    Yeah, I'm flooding a lit bit the forum with my questions :).

    I'm trying to build an application that will be able to detect, classify and track different drones instead of people.

    To do so, I'd like to start with the people counting and tracking lab. I have two devices, a IWR1642BOOST and a IWR1443BOOST but I think that I will get a IWR1843BOOST EVM instead of the last one since It hasn't the DSP.

    Finally I will compare among them 3 devices:

    1. IWR1642BOOST EVM
    2. IWR1843BOOST EVM
    3. IWR6843ISK + MMWAVEICBOOST

    to highlight what will change using devices with different frequencies or with different number of RX antennas.


    Regards,
    Angelo

    Hi Angelo,

    We haven't studied tracking drones, so we cannot commit to good performance for any of the demos in that use case. The DSP is required to run the signal chain (point cloud generation) in the people counting demos, so you would not be able to port that to IWR1443. 

    Why are you using the 77GHz devices? Typically those are restricted to automotive, so I am unsure if those will be allowed for drone tracking. (Especially if not on the drone). 

    Regards,
    Justin

    Hi Justin, thanks :)

    I'm using also the 77 GHz because I'd like to highlight the performance differences between the devices with 77GHz and 64GHz frequencies in my Master Thesis.
    It wouldn't be a commercial implementation. I think that It would be fine, wouldn't it ?

    Regards,
    Angelo

    You shouldn't have any regulatory issues, but typically we keep the most up to date industrial demos on 60 GHz.
