Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843AOP, IWR6843ISK
I would like to modify the software project for Long Range People detection, which runs on hardware that uses a 3-element antenna (3 elements on each antenna pin) to run on an IWR6843AOPEVM, that has a single element per pin. The reason for wanting to start with the Long Range People detection design is that it much more closely resembles the SDK project in terms of its Cartesian outputs and architecture than some of the other reference designs.
How can I go about modifying that? Surely some parts of the DSP design have to be changed. Or can I use part of the SDK design's DSP/DPC/DPU in combination with the SDK MSS?
Here is our goal: We have a host demo that uses the detection outputs from the SDK (out-of-box design) from an IWR6843AOP sensor. We want to use the same format, but add tracking. Initially I modified the Overhead People Counting demo to do this by converting spherical outputs to Cartesian. But the format of all the header information, SNR and noise is also significantly different. The Long Range People Counting architecture seems much better for doing the tracking because it is based on the SDK.
Thank you.
