TI mmWave sensor是高集成度的毫米波雷达传感器SOC,在开发过程中,SDK及TI DEMO均使用灵活的UART接口发送CLI命令进行射频参数配置及相关算法参数的配置。对于量产及或者有固化参数的产品而言,将参数固化在代码中会是一项明确的需求。本文介绍一种可以快速将CFG文件参数固化到应用代码中的实现方式,同时支持原有串口的CLI配置,无需修改SDK驱动层代码,可方便快捷的完成参数的固化。

本文的测试环境如下:

  • 此方法适用器件型号:I/AWR1443, I/AWR1642, I/AWR1843, I/AWR6843
  • 本文测试软件版本:mmWave SDK 3.5.0.4
  • 本文测试硬件平台:IWR6843ISK EVM

1. 运行SDK  mmWave sensor demo的流程及对外接口说明

在现有的TI mmWave SDK及TOOLBOX相关的示例代码中,均使用两个串口进行参数的配置及数据的获取,EVM板载的TM4C MCU是一个板载XDS110仿真器,仿真器自带两路串口,可以直接完成SDK DEMO中的参数配置及数据输出。在客制化产品中,可以使用外部的2个USB<->UART桥接线缆进行调试,两个串口的默认使用情况如下:

配置命令口:Application/User Uart: Configuration port 115200bps: UART_RX/TX port <-> USB-UART cable <-> PC

数据口:Auxilliary Data Port: Data port 921600bps: MSS_LOGGER-> USB-UART cable -> PC

mmWave sensor的启动配置流程

2.  修改CLI参数以调整mmWave sensor 的配置参数

以SDK内的Out of Box demo为例,将BIN文件(比如:.\mmwave_sdk_<ver>\packages\ti\demo\xwr68xx\mmw\xwr68xx_mmw_demo.bin)烧写至板卡后,启动后,需要通过GUI下发CFG配置(比如:.\mmwave_sdk_<ver>\packages\ti\demo\xwr68xx\mmw\profiles\profile_2d.cfg),成功将配置加载后,IWR6843雷达芯片及开始射频发波及目标探测的工作。CFG文件各项配置具体信息在mmWave SDK user’s guide中有详细描述(文档路径:.\mmwave_sdk_<ver>\docs\mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf),通过CLI参数的配置,可灵活修改雷达的RF参数及信号处理的参数,方便调试工作的进行。

对于Toolbox内的demo,则需要同时参考SDK user’s Guide 及toolbox内的demo guide,其配置文件有SDK通用的部分,也有属于此demo独有的配置命令,包含SDK参数、目标检测层的参数、追踪器层的参数,示例如下(.\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_9_0\labs\people_counting\68xx_3D_people_counting\chirp_configs\AOP_6m_default.cfg):

3. 固化CLI参数以实现芯片上电后自动加载配置

固化配置参数有几种操作方式,如SDK文档描述(file:///C:/ti/mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04/packages/ti/demo/xwr68xx/mmw/docs/doxygen/html/index.html#bypassCLI),用户可以将CFG文件中每一条都使用对应的函数调用替换。这种方式比较底层,代码的改动量较大,但是可以节省一部分代码空间。实现方法可参考Toolbox中提供的一个hard-coded chirp configurations的参考示例代码,位于:.\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_9_0\labs\out_of_box_demo\68xx_mmwave_sdk_hcc

本文所介绍的CLI参数固化方式将保留原有的CLI串口调试的接口,同时将现有的CFG参数以CLI的格式配置进去,可视化程度高,实现更为简单,实现方式如下。

  • 在c 增加头文件

#include <ti/utils/cli/include/cli_internal.h>

  • 在c中增加外部结构体的定义。

extern CLI_MCB     gCLI;

  • 在c中,增加如下外部函数定义。

extern void MmwDemo_Bypass_CLI (void);

  • 在c的"void MmwDemo_initTask(UArg arg0, UArg arg1)"函数中,在CLI_OPEN之后,调用” MmwDemo_Bypass_CLI”函数。

MmwDemo_Bypass_CLI();

  • 在C中增加如下配置命令及代码。

#define CLI_BYPASS 1

#define MAX_RADAR_CMD               30

5. 附加说明

在部分的demo(比如3D people counting demo)中,会出现堆栈溢出导致上电后,initTask中,bypasscli配置失败的情况,此时只需要需要适当增加此task的stacksize为4*1024,即可完成参数的配置。

    /* Initialize the Task Parameters. */

    Task_Params_init(&taskParams);

    taskParams.stackSize = 4*1024;

    gMmwMssMCB.taskHandles.initTask = Task_create(MmwDemo_initTask, &taskParams, NULL);
