AWR1843BOOST: Software required for operation

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843

I made a millimeter wave radar board referring to AWR1843BOOST.
I don't think it's a problem with the hardware, but
I have a question about software that I don't understand.
Do I need to install any additional software to make it work like AWR1843BOOST?

Hello yousuke,

If the hardware is alright, then there is no additional software that is required for making it work like AWR1843.

sorry i misunderstood the question.

Is it necessary to write or set something to each IC to make it work exactly like AWR1843BOOST?
Of course, the parts used are the same as AWR1843BOOST.

Hello Yousuke,

No there is nothing to be set as such, you can use the drivers provided by the mmwave sdk and check if the demo and other functionalities are working right in the examples, as you have mentioned you have used the same parts as AWR1843.
The behavior could be cross verified with the actual EVM as well, to see if it is working as well.

Thank you for your reply.
I will ask about this later
to open a USB port in another thread
You mentioned that the XDS firmware needs to be flashed, but since the XDS firmware and other software are already written from the beginning, does that mean there is no problem?

Hello Yousuke,

As long as the XDS and other firmware is flashed, then there will be no issues.
