AWR1642BOOST-ODS: Can driver vital signs demo run on AWR1642BOOST-ODS?

Genius 13655 points
Part Number: AWR1642BOOST-ODS

Hello Champs,

Can the C:\ti\mmwave_automotive_toolbox_2_9_1\labs\lab0001-driver-vital-signs demo run on  AWR1642BOOST-ODS board?

Thanks.

  • Hi Shine,

    The developer's guide and release notes for the lab only specify the AWR1642BOOST EVM to be compatible, so I doubt the lab would ever have been tested for ODS. Still, I will forward this question to the rest of the team and get back to you.

    Regards,

  • Hi Shine,

    [EDIT]: The following statement is incomplete.

    I have just confirmed this with my team, the vital signs lab is not supported on AWR1642 ODS.

    [EDIT]: Apparently the vital signs lab only uses 1TX and 1RX, so the difference in antenna pattern in the ODS EVM is irrelevant. It should be possible to run the lab on ODS. I am not sure if this has ever been tested though.

  • Hi Aayush,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Customer failed to run the vital sign lab on AWR1642BOOST-ODS, he followed the Getting Started Guide and clicked the Start button in VitalSignsRadar_Demo.exe, then there is no output. 

    So I am not sure if the vital signs demo doesn't support AWR1642BOOST-ODS board or the customer didn't follow the steps correctly.

    Below is the log:
