4.2 Getting the Version

Users can navigate to Help → About to get the app version that is currently running on the browser. To get the SDK version that is running on the connected mmWave sensor device, send the version CLI command to the device via user UART port or Status Tab as shown below:

mmwDemo:/>version
Platform                : AWR294X
RF F/W Version          : 02.04.05.03.22.04.20
RF F/W Patch            : 02.04.06.10.22.09.15
mmWaveLink Version      : 02.04.06.06
Die ID Val0 : 2313257
Die ID Val1 : 34
Die ID Val2 = 6, Die ID Val3 = 496
ProcChain               : DDM
mmWave SDK Version      : 04.04.00.00

The SDK version is shown only when the mmWave sensor device is properly connected to this app using the serial/COM port and a functional demo is running on the target. Checking the version is a good troubleshooting mechanism to determine whether the mmWave device is up and running (see below).
