IWR6843AOPEVM: IWR6843AOPEVM: Missing header files RadarScan.h and mmWaveCLI.h for ROS Driver in the installed Industrial package(4.4.1)

Teodor Janez Podobnik

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK

Following the setup guide for IWR6843AOPEVM on the official TI site, I installed industrial Toolbox(version 4.4.1).

After moving the ti_mmwave_rospkg package as instructed(moving the folder in the .zip) in the <catkin_workspace>/src, catkin_make failed, due to missing header files RadarScan.h and mmWaveCLI.h in the package ti_mmwave_rospkg. My guess is, they should have been in the ti_mmwave_rospkg/include folder, but they are not.

Any help?

Hi Teodor

Can you confirm you have installed the mmWave-SDK 3.4 in your C:\ti folder?

Following ROS setup on the module I should have installed ROS package from

https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AC6pKB9hdX.bUVq9BRtxKQ__VLyFKFf__LATEST

But due to updating the website(my assumption) I found the Download All button a few directories up in the Industrial Toolbox. (also suggested in one of the questions on your forum):

https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AJoMGA2ID9pCPWEKPi16wg__VLyFKFf__LATEST

Following the Setup guide further, I moved(from the installed file) ti_mmwave_rospkg into <catkin_workspace>/src directory.

Calling catkin_make(like suggested in setup) produces an error that RadarScan.h header file is missing, because it is included in one of the files.

Looking further I also found out there is mmWaveCLI.h header file missing, because it was included in one of the files but was not in the include directory of ti_mmwave_rospkg where it supposed to be.

There might be some other files missing which I am not aware of.
