Other TI board families and demos are not automatically compatible. ## Current continuous and camera downloads These integrated packages include generic browser-camera support and human-reviewed label import. New firmware physical acceptance is pending. Preserve old folders for rollback. - **Viewer v0.9.0-preview.5**: [ZIP](/downloads/Radar_Studio_Chromebook_v0.9.0-preview.5_public.zip) · [SHA-256 file](/downloads/Radar_Studio_Chromebook_v0.9.0-preview.5_public.zip.sha256). 18473814 bytes; SHA-256 `09707d681cf87fdb07a739694e0e89be6959b6043c13be2262114806170242b3`. - **Python host trainer v0.1.0-preview.3**: [ZIP](/downloads/Original_Radar_Host_Training_Tools_v0.1.0-preview.3.zip) · [SHA-256 file](/downloads/Original_Radar_Host_Training_Tools_v0.1.0-preview.3.zip.sha256). 29477 bytes; SHA-256 `60bfa91b1b450f3991f4cdc289bebe1614df4aed072169942d9019bf08d05257`. - **Sensing firmware 0.3.2-rc1 source and BIN**: [ZIP](/downloads/Original_Radar_Sensing_0.3.2-rc1_continuous.zip) · [SHA-256 file](/downloads/Original_Radar_Sensing_0.3.2-rc1_continuous.zip.sha256). 911448 bytes; SHA-256 `c07e36e8ec375de34662d994ce16906f82fd999faf42f2d4271004bb549f5165`. [Versioned firmware BIN](/downloads/original_radar_sensing_0.3.2-rc1_87589b2c32638ae119334c72.bin) · [BIN checksum](/downloads/original_radar_sensing_0.3.2-rc1_87589b2c32638ae119334c72.bin.sha256). Flash only the distinct 0.3.2-rc1 candidate when preparing continuous-mode hardware checks. Viewer and trainer ZIPs are not firmware. Exact [viewer source](https://github.com/MASTER246C/radar-studio-chromebook/commit/c7eab6b4c86149955db7b6cff969f113aeea25f1) and [recorder/firmware/training source](https://github.com/MASTER246C/iwr6843aop-activity-recorder/commit/89908a504633fbfd44f264b2431f8aa834a4a6c2). A third-party pose model is included; no trained radar model or participant recordings are supplied. Read [CAMERA_WORKFLOW.md](CAMERA_WORKFLOW.md). ## Historical corrected project downloads These complete packages are supplied directly by this hosted edition. Verify the checksum and extract the whole folder before using a local copy. The matching [viewer v0.9.0-preview.3](https://github.com/MASTER246C/radar-studio-chromebook/releases/tag/v0.9.0-preview.3) and [trainer v0.1.0-preview.2](https://github.com/MASTER246C/iwr6843aop-activity-recorder/releases/tag/original-training-v0.1.0-preview.2) GitHub prereleases are public; their downloads match these files byte-for-byte. The linked source commits identify the exact packaged code. Earlier GitHub archives retain their historical versions. | Package | Download and checksum | Exact source | |---|---|---| | Radar Studio **v0.9.0-preview.3** — complete browser viewer, 396733 bytes | [Viewer ZIP](/downloads/Radar_Studio_Chromebook_v0.9.0-preview.3_public.zip) · [SHA-256 file](/downloads/Radar_Studio_Chromebook_v0.9.0-preview.3_public.zip.sha256) | [Viewer commit a0ac8880](https://github.com/MASTER246C/radar-studio-chromebook/commit/a0ac8880ed806bc1ad29633597cb0e0dcf8ba28b) | | Original radar host training tools **v0.1.0-preview.2** — Python host software, 22097 bytes | [Training ZIP](/downloads/Original_Radar_Host_Training_Tools_v0.1.0-preview.2.zip) · [SHA-256 file](/downloads/Original_Radar_Host_Training_Tools_v0.1.0-preview.2.zip.sha256) | [Recorder commit fbec6dfd](https://github.com/MASTER246C/iwr6843aop-activity-recorder/commit/fbec6dfd3583cacd2e5bf8b655966efd396b6e44) | Viewer ZIP SHA-256: `5a9230c360e0f98d0929747ee36bb4767de7df23a2edd0af3da06c49bcd8b1e3`. Training ZIP SHA-256: `b2cb7648377f3bf7686b694d665f18072b887d1b6bc29ccc990d2a42d6eee9ca`. The viewer extracts into `radar-studio/`; follow its QUICKSTART for the optional local server. The trainer extracts into `original_training/` and requires Python 3.10+ standard library only. **Neither ZIP is firmware to flash.** Python is not needed to open the hosted browser viewer. No participant recordings or trained weights are supplied. The trainer fixes continuity checks across adjacent windows; the viewer fixes ambiguous offline event labels and preserves the initial no-RF receipt checkpoint. For firmware and previous archives, use the separate [original sensing 0.3.1-rc1 GitHub prerelease](https://github.com/MASTER246C/iwr6843aop-activity-recorder/releases/tag/sensing-v0.3.1-rc1), [historical viewer preview.2](https://github.com/MASTER246C/radar-studio-chromebook/releases/tag/v0.9.0-preview.2), or [historical trainer preview.1](https://github.com/MASTER246C/iwr6843aop-activity-recorder/releases/tag/original-training-v0.1.0-preview.1). The older viewer/trainer archives do not include these correctness fixes. Firmware build identity, BIN checksum, licenses and prior release assets are unchanged. ## Original dual-UART preview Viewer v0.9.0-preview.3 matches original-radar-v2 firmware **0.3.1-rc1 / build abb27b48c1bdb956c0de704b**. The separately supplied firmware BIN is 344836 bytes, SHA-256 `668476d4130f659cef4c1fea3b8eb436d5025f20853dc30ca83380f9bd38a6bf`. Do not use old one-port firmware with this workflow. Enhanced control is 115200; Standard data is 921600. First verify control status/ACK and no-RF nonce pairing. Read [ORIGINAL_RADAR.md](ORIGINAL_RADAR.md) before any separately authorized 1–5 second bring-up. The original tracker is independent experimental host code. It does not copy or fall back to a TI demo tracker. The TI workflows below remain separate options for matching TI firmware only. ## Choose what you are trying to do ### Run Radar Studio with firmware already working For the hosted route, [Open Radar Studio](https://radar-studio.master246c.chatgpt.site) in normal **desktop or ChromeOS Chrome with Web Serial**. No Linux/Python server is needed. For a version-pinned local route, use the complete release folder and Python 3's local file server. In either case, select the workflow for the firmware already on your board and its exact matching configuration. The original JSON firmware has its own status/self-test gate; do not send it a TI `.cfg`. Recordings are processed in-browser and saved by explicit local download, with no automatic dataset submission. The existing source-available/no-resale software license and third-party notices are unchanged. - [Radar Studio releases](https://github.com/MASTER246C/radar-studio-chromebook/releases): download the named viewer ZIP and extract the whole folder. - [Chromebook Linux setup](https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?hl=en): normal Linux development environment, not Developer Mode. - [Chrome Web Serial documentation](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/serial): browser/secure-context requirements and serial access. - [Step-by-step launch](https://github.com/MASTER246C/radar-studio-chromebook/blob/main/QUICKSTART.md): run `sh start-local.sh`, leave Terminal open, then open `http://localhost:8000` in normal ChromeOS Chrome. The viewer itself needs **no TI SDK, CCS, compiler, UniFlash, Node.js, pip packages or TI Python visualizer**. For the optional local route, Python serves files only; Chrome owns the USB serial connection in either route. If the radar is already configured and streaming, listening does not require resending a config. Updating the viewer does not require reflashing. ### Obtain TI firmware, configurations or reference software Use [TI Radar Toolbox downloads](https://www.ti.com/tool/download/RADAR-TOOLBOX). The verified package is **4.00.00.05**, distributed as `radar_toolbox_4_00_00_05.zip`. Extract it locally. The paths below were checked against that archive's actual entries, not inferred from filenames or older guides. TI's package is large and covers many devices. Obtain only from TI and follow its license. **The public Radar Studio repository does not redistribute TI firmware, SDKs, configurations or Python sources.** The project license grants no rights in them. Keep your existing known-working BIN/config pair; a newer package is not automatically a compatible replacement. ## Exact paths inside Radar Toolbox 4.00.00.05 Paths below are relative to the extracted `radar_toolbox_4_00_00_05` folder. Linux paths are case-sensitive. Use `/` on Linux or the equivalent `\` on Windows. ### 3D people tracking Folder: ```text source/ti/examples/Industrial_and_Personal_Electronics/People_Tracking/3D_People_Tracking/ ``` Inside that folder: - Firmware: `prebuilt_binaries/3D_people_track_6843_demo.bin` - AOP default config: `chirp_configs/AOP_6m_default.cfg` - Other AOP profiles: `chirp_configs/AOP_6m_staticRetention.cfg`, `chirp_configs/AOP_9m_default.cfg`, `chirp_configs/AOP_9m_sensitive.cfg` - Guide: `docs/3d_people_tracking_user_guide.html` [Official 3D People Tracking guide](https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/content/radar_toolbox_4_00_00_05/source/ti/examples/Industrial_and_Personal_Electronics/People_Tracking/3D_People_Tracking/docs/3d_people_tracking_user_guide.html). Some guide text retains older `68xx` names/shorter directories; the archive paths above identify the actual 4.00.00.05 files. Select the AOP profile for the exact demo and mounting setup, not ISK/ODS by guesswork. ### Vital signs with people tracking Folder: ```text source/ti/examples/Industrial_and_Personal_Electronics/Vital_Signs/Vital_Signs_With_People_Tracking/ ``` Inside that folder: - AOP firmware: `prebuilt_binaries/vital_signs_tracking_6843AOP_demo.bin` - AOP configs: `chirp_configs/vital_signs_AOP_2m.cfg` and `chirp_configs/vital_signs_AOP_6m.cfg` - Guide: `docs/vital_signs_with_people_tracking_user_guide.html` [Official Vital Signs With People Tracking guide](https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/content/radar_toolbox_4_00_00_05/source/ti/examples/Industrial_and_Personal_Electronics/Vital_Signs/Vital_Signs_With_People_Tracking/docs/vital_signs_with_people_tracking_user_guide.html). If the online guide will not load, open the named HTML file from your extracted Toolbox. The separate `6843ISK` firmware in this folder is not the AOP selection. These paths establish file identity, not validation of every profile in Radar Studio. Firmware `.bin` files are executable images, **not raw radar recordings**. `.cfg` files contain device commands. The viewer's presentation selector cannot change flashed firmware. ## Optional TI reference visualizer For comparison with TI's desktop workflow, Toolbox 4.00.00.05 contains: - `tools/visualizers/Applications_Visualizer/Industrial_Visualizer/gui_main.py` - `tools/visualizers/Applications_Visualizer/requirements.txt` Follow that TI component's own setup instructions. Those Python dependencies are for TI's visualizer, not Radar Studio. Close either visualizer before opening the same ports in the other. ## Flash existing TI firmware: separate, optional workflow - [TI UniFlash downloads](https://www.ti.com/tool/download/UNIFLASH): select the **Linux Installer** for a compatible Linux host or **Windows Installer** for Windows. Version 9.7.0 was listed when checked. Installing UniFlash is separate from flashing. - [IWR6843AOPEVM board page](https://www.ti.com/tool/IWR6843AOPEVM). - [TI 60GHz mmWave Sensor EVMs guide, SWRU546](https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/SWRU546): **section 4 covers xWR6843AOPEVM Rev G**, including switches, modular mode and PC connection. Match your actual board/revision and carrier arrangement. Follow the board and chosen demo's official flashing instructions. Keep normal run mode separate from flashing mode; reset as the guide requires. Release ports from other apps before switching tools. ChromeOS Linux/Crostini is not established here as a TI-validated UniFlash platform; do not infer compatibility solely from the existence of a Linux installer. This guide does not instruct you to flash merely to run/update the viewer. ## Windows-only driver help If the standalone board's CP210x interfaces need Windows drivers, use [Silicon Labs CP210x VCP drivers](https://www.silabs.com/software-and-tools/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers), choosing the driver for your Windows version. This is **not** an instruction to install a Windows driver on ChromeOS. Do not use third-party driver bundles. ## Build custom radar firmware: developer tools only - [TI mmWave SDK downloads](https://www.ti.com/tool/download/MMWAVE-SDK) - [TI Code Composer Studio](https://www.ti.com/tool/CCSTUDIO) - The chosen demo's developer guide and project files for the required ARM/DSP compiler, SDK and other dependency versions Match the demo's documented build versions; do not substitute the newest SDK/compiler without checking compatibility. The official SDK page currently lists 03.06.02.00-LTS, while the referenced people-tracking guide names the 3.5.x line. That difference is a reason to follow the exact project's requirements, not a direction to install both. Building new firmware is distinct from using prebuilt firmware or running this JavaScript viewer. For extending Radar Studio itself, see [DEVELOPING.md](https://github.com/MASTER246C/radar-studio-chromebook/blob/main/DEVELOPING.md). Optional synthetic tests use Node.js/Python; no TI firmware compiler is needed for browser-code changes.
