2.2 Design Considerations

This reference design showcases the usage of Diagnostic and Monitoring feature. Diagnostic tests are implemented through Safety Diagnostic Library (SDL) whereas Monitoring features are enabled on RadarSS through mmWaveLink library. Few sets of Diagnostic tests are destructive which might cause device soft and or warm reset, so within this reference design those tests are part of Secondary Bootloader (SBL). This way main application flow doesn't get hampered due to these destructive Diagnostic tests execution. Apart from these DIAG tests, remaining DIAG are executed on MSS as well DSS core during the application initialization. Further details of implementation are available in Section 2.4.2
