    I also had the compile error and then runtime errors with GPIO configuration. Turns out Acc changed a bunch of the true/false returns for their API and that broke a lot of Sparkfun's code. My fork with the fixes can be found here: https://github.com/jaywilhelm/A111_Pulsed_Radar_Breakout

      Thanks! Gotta love those breaking changes :S

      I pushed an update to the GitHub repo which should enact similar fixes. It's working well with SDK 1.4.0.

    It seems that Acc published a new SDK version (1.5.2). The files from the GitHub repo don't seem to work anymore. Unfortunatly I don't have enought experience to modify them myself Does anyone have a workig version of the examplefiles for the SDK 1.5.2?

    Looks like we have another new version of the SDK: 1.4.0. It really is a shame Acc doesn't let you download older versions.

    But here is the error. I am not sure exactly what to provide for *gpio_mem. A memory map?

    Compiling acc_board_rpi_sparkx.c

      Thanks for the heads up! We've pushed an update to the GitHub repo -- updating the board definition file. Should resolve those issues and get you up-and-running with SDK 1.4.0.

    When I downloaded the SDK from acconeer website, it was using v1.3.9 instead of v1.3.5. This broke the sparkx addon files. I made a fork with updates in all 6 files of Software/sparkx-sdk-addon/ folder to support v1.3.9: https://github.com/jkumaran/A111_Pulsed_Radar_Breakout This fixed the problem and I was able to observe the radar results.

      Hi, it seems like there is yet a new version of the SDK (currently 1.3.11). I am getting makefile "no rule to make target" errors using the sparkx addon files. I was wondering if you have the old 1.3.9 SDK or have any idea how to update the sparkx addon files to make it work? Thank you very much in advance!!

        I've pushed some updates to the GitHub repo -- it should make all examples compatible with v1.3.11 of the SDK.

          Hi jimblom, thanks for your reply. I was able to use the updated files from the GitHub repo to successfully build it against SDK 1.3.11. However, when I try to run the example files, I get an "illegal instruction" error. I am using Raspberry Pi 1 B, perhaps this is too old? Thanks in advance for your help! I very much appreciate it.
