IWR1642BOOST: ppl lab,Is it possible to start radar via CANFD sending configuration file?

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843

I have changed sending data to canfd sending,and now I want to change the start radar to CANFD start as well.

Now I'm using out_of_box_demo in mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_3_2,and SDK version is 2.0.0.4.

The receiving function of CANFD has been tested and can be used normally.

Modifying the cli.c in the SDK does not work.Even if the UART_read() is deleted, the radar can still be activated.

I can't find the UART_read()  anywhere else.So I don't know where I should make changes.

What modifications do I need to make if I want to activate the radar via CANFD?

Thank you

  • Hello,

    In order to use a modified CLI.c, you will need to recompile that folder in the SDK using the included makefile. Have you done this? There are instructions can be found below.

    Also, that toolbox and SDK is quite old and no longer supported. I suggest moving to the recent releases (SDK3.5), but people counting is only supported on IWR6843 for the new labs.

  • Why is there no feedback after compilation?No success and no errors are shown.

    I tried again, and the SDK still didn't apply my changes.

    The environment variable MMWAVE_SDK_DEVICE had been compiled first.

    The commands I used are as follow:

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_02_00_00_04\packages\ti\utils\cli>mingw32-make

    Is the command correct?

    Thank you

  • Hello, 

    Please use the following procedure to recompile SDK libraries

    1. Setup the build environment
      1. Create command prompt at <mmwave_sdk_<ver> install path>\packages\scripts\windows folder
        1. Cd C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\scripts\windows
      2. Run setenv.bat
        1. Setenv.bat
    2. To build the whole demo
      1. Change directory to the SDK demo to build
        1. e.g. Cd C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr68xx\mmw
      2. gmake clean
      3. gmake all
    3. To build just the Drivers
      1. Change directory to the SDK driver
        1. e.g. cd C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\utils\cli
      2. gmake clean
      3. gmake all.
