IWR6843: Differences between demo in the SDK and OOB in the industrial toolbox

Part Number: IWR6843

Hi,

Is there a document about differences between between the demo project in the SDK and OOB in the industrial toolbox? It seems that their functions are exactly identical. 

In addition, which project in SDK or Industrial Toolbox would you experts recommend for a project in which:

1. HWA is used to generated produce cloud points;

2. DSP is used to run tracker and other algorithms;

3. Calibration support;

4. LVDS support

Cheers,

Tom

  • Hi Tom,

    There is no difference in code and build options between the demo project in SDK and the OOB demo in toolbox. In fact, the OOB demos in toolbox use the OOB demo source files directly from the SDK, and are meant only to provide CCS projects for the OOB demos (since SDK includes only makefiles).

    There is not one project which satisfies all the four requirements in itself but you can find examples where the point cloud is generated in HWA (e.g. the 68xx OOB demo - HWA version).

    Note that in our tracking demos (e.g. People Counting - all 3 variants, Traffic Monitoring, etc). The point cloud processing is split between HWA and DSP such that:

    1. Range processing (i.e. 1D FFT) is done on HWA
    2. Rest of the point cloud processing i.e. Doppler, CFAR, Angle of Arrival etc) is done on DSP
    3. Tracker is run on the Cortex R4F.

    LVDS streaming support: Besides the OOB demos, LVDS streaming should work in the following demos (using the same process and tools as used and documented in the OOB demo user guide):

    1. Long Range People Detection
    2. Traffic Monitoring

  • Hi Nitin,

    Very helpful reply and thanks a lot.
