Ensure you select the correct driver for your operating system. · Terminal program such as Tera Term https://teratermproject.github.io/index-en.html · D3 Visualizer: See your downloads on the D3 Web Store. · Optional · Uniflash: https://www.ti.com/tool/UNIFLASH (To load firmware to the sensor). 4.0 Interfaces 4.1 J403 USB Connector J403 is a USB-C connector. The USB data and power signals are employed following the typical USB pinout. Power can be supplied via this connector. 0.5 A is the required current maximum. The WARN LED will illuminate if the sensor is starved of voltage. 4.2 LEDs The three LEDs are WARN, 3V3, and 5V0. · D403, "WARN" (Red) illuminates if the sensor is starved of voltage. · D402, "3V3" (Yellow/Green) illuminates if 3.3 V power is active. · D401, "5V0" (Yellow/Green) illuminates if 5.0 V power is present. 5.0 Verifying Data Output with the RS-L6432V With this procedure you can observe data output from the sensor. 1. Power the sensor via the USB-C cable. 2. Verify that the 3V3 and 5V0 LEDs are lit on the sensor. If they are not, power cycle the board. 3. If you are using a custom data output format, use Tera Term to view the output from the sensor, and stop here. 4. If you are using standard data output format, get the D3 Visualizer, P/N 2000127 from your downloads on the D3 Web Store and unzip into a folder, and continue on below. 5. Start the visualizer and set the radar sensor serial ports as below, substituting your "Ch A" serial port in both places (same port).

Setting the D3 Visualizer Serial Ports 6. Select Chirp file as "chirps\l6432\TrackingClassification_MidBw.cfg" by browsing into the chirps folder from the visualizer. Other versions will use a different Chirp file. 7. Click Start. 8. Observe the output and observe the dynamic returns displayed as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. D3 Visualizer Data Display 6.0 Running Demos Provided by Texas Instruments With the D3 RS-Lx432V sensor, you can also run demos provided by Texas Instruments. Texas Instruments demos can be found within TI's resource explorer (https://dev.ti.com/tirex). Navigate to mmWave radar sensors -> Embedded Software -> Radar Toolbox X.Y.Z.W -> Getting Started with the xWRL6432. Please note that the to keep the D3 RS-Lx432V sensor size small, the antenna geometry is different from that on the TI evaluation kit. To account for this, you must alter the configuration file to be used. Replace any existing antGeometryCfg command with the revised version below: % Correct D3 RS-L6432S and RS-L6432V antGeometryCfg 0 3 1 2 0 1 0 2 1 1 0 0 2.418 2.418 If this command is not already part of the configuration file, insert this line after the frameCfg command and before the guiMonitor command in the file.

Out Of Box Demo Identical to what's described in this guide. 2. Human vs. Non-human Classification Point cloud returns, clustering and tracking, with human classification. 3. In-cabin Life Presence Detection Demo Detects automotive cabin occupancy, for example to detect children left behind. 4. In-cabin Intruder Detection Demo Detects people outside a vehicle who are reaching inside. 5. Truck Bed Monitoring Demo Detects someone reaching into the bed of a pickup truck. 6. Radar Doorbell Detects someone approaching the door. 7. Indoor Occupancy Monitoring Detects people inside a room. 8. Onlooker Detection Detects someone approaching an office worker from behind. All of these demos use the binary that is supplied with your RS-L6432V, but use different chirp configurations and visualizers. To support deployable functionality, D3 can provide support to improve and tune the available algorithms, and also can design and implement algorithms from scratch.

Use this procedure only if necessary. This procedure programs the device and tests the Serial/UART connection. There are separate instructions below for two cases, (a) your unit has the secondary bootloader programmed or (b) your unit does not have the secondary bootloader programmed on it. 7.1 Application Programming with Secondary Bootloader You can use these steps to program the application image. Use these instructions if you already have the secondary bootloader programmed (you see a countdown at bootup). The Secondary Bootloader (SBL) allows simplified application programming and field reprogramming without manipulating I/Os to control the boot mode of the radar chip. To program the application, use Tera Term to communicate with the bootloader already programmed onto the sensor. 1. Connect to the sensor's COM port with Tera Term. 2. When the sensor powers up, you will see the output in Figure 3. Figure 3. Secondary Bootloader Startup 1. When you see the countdown, "10 9 8 ...", hit "p" or "P" to instruct the SBL to accept an application image download. 2. When you see "CCCCC", in the Tera Term menu, select Transfer->XMODEM->Send. 3. Select the application image file specified in the assembly BOM in the dialog. 4. Ensure that you select the "1K" option checkbox as shown in Figure 4.
