AWR1843BOOST: Running demos on AWR1843

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843

Hello,

I recently acquired an AWR1843BOOST and trying to run demos on it. Specifically, I want to get the SDK out-of-box demo running on the board for now and test other advanced demos in the future.

I want to use the 3rd Tx, but since there is no "native" demo built for xWR18xx, I followed the demo tutorial from xWR14xx and used the demo built from it. Loading the binary build and connecting it to the web demo visualizer seemed all good, but when I clicked the "send config to device", there was no response and I couldn't see any output in the plot. Is there something I did wrong there?

Furthermore, which demos do you also recommend for me to test on the AWR1843? I didn't find any expect the medium range demo.

Thank you!

Best,

Jingning

    Hello Jingning,

    The latest SDK (3.2.0.4) supports the xWR1843. You can find the binary made for the 18xx in there. The 14xx binary will not work with the 18xx devices. 

    Regarding which demo you should test, this will depend on what you are trying to accomplish. You will need to be more specific.

    Regards,

    Adrian

    Hello Adrian,

    Thank you for your response. I have found the demo in the latest SDK and successfully run it. 

    Currently, I don't have a specific application to work on. I am implementing the DSP stack off-chip to gain a better understanding and improve upon that, if possible. The purpose of running more demos on AWR1843 is just to understand its compatibility because it's quite new. Also I want to look into how TI's demos utilize the different hardware configs (3rd Tx, larger RAM, FFT specialized hardware, etc).

    Hello Jingning,

    I would suggest taking a look at the Automotive Toolbox on the TI Resource Explorer.

    http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AHJY4qNCowO17wH-P2ICKQ

    Here you will be able to find an assortment of various demos available for mmWave sensors.

    Regards,
