IWR6843AOPEVM: IWR6843AOPEVM which additional boards required ?

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST, DCA1000EVM

Hello,

I am professor  in a french university. I proposed to my student to explore the IWR6843AOPEVM board  for custom application (The idea of the project is to make body/objects detection and  speed measuring for robotics applications.)

I already bought this board but I am not sure if I need other boards for development.

I saw two other boards :

1) DC1000EVM for getting realtime value

2) MMWAVEICBOOST for debug

My question is does I really need those additional boards (I have limited budget)  for my student project, do you have advices ?

Many thanks for your help,

    Hello,

    1. The DCA1000EVM is for getting the raw ADC data from the device over LVDS that then is brought to a host PC via Ethernet. Based on your description of the project you described I would hold off getting this EVM. If you get to point where you need to pipe out the raw ADC data then this EVM is the only option.

    2. The MMWAVEICBOOST I would recommend because it gives you access to the XDS110 debugger. Additionally this EVM has a launchpad compatible headers underneath, so you can get access to the pins of the radar device. Overall, if you are developing the ability to debug both SW and HW is key, so I would say this is a must have.

    Best regards,
