Prerequisites:

  1. Download latest SDK package of MMWAVE-L-SDK.
  2. Download latest XDS110 drivers. This is bundled with Code Composer Studio (CCS).

Steps for getting started:

  • Step 1: Connect the EVM to the micro USB port. Users do not need to connect to the barrel jack.
  • Step 2: Navigate to the MMWAVE-L-SDK download location and run the Low Power Radar Visualizer. The visualizer is located in <MMWAVE_L_SDK_5_INSTALL_DIR>\tools\visualizer\Low_power_visualizer_5.x.x.x\visualizer.exe
  • Step 3: Connect the EVM to the PC via USB. Users do not need to connect to the barrel jack.
  • Step 4 (Optional): Program a non-default firmware / app-image.
    1. Navigate to the Flash tab.
    2. AUTO detect COM ports (press refresh icon) and select device COM port (if not already selected).
    3. Follow the subsequent steps shown in the Visualizer.
  • Step 5: Configure Device
    1. Navigate to the Configuration Dashboard tab.
    2. AUTO detect COM ports (press refresh icon) and select device COM port (if not already selected).
    3. Select preset configuration under Configuration Selection.
    4. Click on Send Selected Config.
  • Step 5: Plots tab displays point cloud information.
