Syntax

mmWaveRadarSetup

Description

mmWaveRadarSetup launches an interactive hardware setup interface that helps you to install the third-party tools and drivers required for integrating the platform software for Texas Instruments® (TI) mmWave radar sensors and also guides you through registering, configuring, and connecting to your hardware. You can choose one of these workflows in the second screen of Hardware Setup and the steps to complete the setup varies based on this choice:

  • Setup to read detections

  • Setup to read ADC data (IQ data)

  • Setup for modeling and deploying applications that use detections

The required third-party tools and drivers are listed in the below table (follow the instructions in Install Third-Party Software screen of Hardware Setup to download and install them).
