Part Number: LAUNCHXL2-570LC43
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243, AWR1243BOOST, LAUNCHXL2-TMS57012

I have Two TI boards in my institution, AWR1243 and  LAUNCHXL2-570LC43. The query is related whether I can integrate these two boards and use it as Long range radar Applications. If I can integrate then how to do it. Its been 3 years that we have bought the board and still no one is able to work on it. I kindly request you to give the suggestion whether is it possible to integrate it or not.

    HI Pradeepth,

    AWR1243 is RF front end only board, it senses the scene and gives you raw ADC data over CSI-2/LVDS interface. Now you need capable external processor connected to AWR1243 which first configures the device over SPI and read ADC data over CSI-2 or LVDS interface.

    So effectively you need at least SPI and CSI/LVDS interface on a selected external processor. I'm afraid that the selected Hercules board doesn't have CSI/LVDS to capture the data although you can use this board to configure the device over SPI.

    mmWave DFP provides a reference application where it configures AWR1243 device from PC over SPI using on-board USB-SPI converter (FTDI).

    Please refer FAQ (Q1) to find more detail about this.

    Regards,

    Hi Jitendra

    Can you tell me the board that I can work with AWR1243 Booster for Long range radar applications.

    Hi Pradeepth,

    You can use TDA2x/3x development board which can connect with AWR1243BOOST.

    Hi Pradeepth,

    AWR1243BOOST uses a standard boosterpack header definition. Please review its user guide and then review the schematic for LAUNCHXL2-TMS57012 or LAUNCHXL2-570LC43 to identify the connections.

    The CSI/LVDS connections are on a separate header on the AWR1243BOOST.
