IWR1443BOOST: Gesture Recognition Demo/Code

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443, , MMWAVE-SDK

Hi!

I would like to ask if your Gesture Demo for IWR1443 is still available? It seems that this link does not exist anymore.. Only the AWR16xx Multi Gesture Demo is accessible...

I would also like to run the IWR1443BOOST on MatLab especifically for gesture recognition, I hope you can give me some guide. Waiting for your reply.

Regards,

Arlie

  • Hi Arlie,

    The IWR1443BOOST Twirl Gesture Demo is available in Industrial Toolbox version 3.6.2, after which it was deprecated and removed in later versions. Instructions to access prior versions are provided on the ReadMe page which you can access from Toolbox navigation pane. I have also provided a direct link to toolbox 3.6.2 below.

    Industrial Toolbox version 3.6.2 

    Note that this demo is based on SDK 1.2 and runs on IWR1443 ES2.0 which was the non-production device. You will need to port it to ES3.0 (and MMWAVE-SDK 2.1) yourself if you have the latest IWR1443BOOST EVM. Please refer to the following thread for high level directions on migrating an IWR1443 demo from SDK 1.2 to SDK 2.1

    Thanks

  • Hi Nitin,

    Thank you for answering. I can now access the Industrial Toolbox version 3.6.2 where the Gesture Demo for IWR1443 is available. 

    I am a little bit confused on how I will port it to ES3.0 (and MMWAVE-SDK 2.1)... In Industrial Toolbox ver. 3.6.2, the Gesture Recognition Swipe demo shows that I need to flash both the RadarSS and MSS, but it failed. Can you pls clarify?

    Thank you!

    Regards,

    "I am a little bit confused on how I will port it to ES3.0 (and MMWAVE-SDK 2.1)... In Industrial Toolbox ver. 3.6.2, the Gesture Recognition Swipe demo shows that I need to flash both the RadarSS and MSS, but it failed. Can you pls clarify?"

    [TI]: This demo is based on SDK 1.2 and meant for the pre-production IWR1443 device (ES2 i.e. Engineering Sample 2). ES2 required flashing the RadarSS firmware and Application image separately as documented in the demo user guide.

    Moving to the production device (ES3), these images were combined into a single MetaImage during the image generation steps. ES3 ROM bootloader only accepts the single combined MetaImage. Flashing separate RadarSS and application images causes the bootloader to error out which is what you are seeing.

    Besides other software changes required for moving to SDK 2.1, part of the porting process to ES3 includes changing the final image generating steps to generate a single combined MetaImage. This is demonstrated in the demo projects for ES3 and also noted in the thread I linked in my previous response.

    I would re-iterate my suggestion to go over the instructions provided in the thread to understand how to port these demos to SDK 2.1 for IWR1443 ES3 device.

    Regards
