AWR1843: How to Flash Firmware on Custom Board based on AWR1843 without XDS.

Part Number: AWR1843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , TMDSEMU110-U

Hi,

I am working on developing a radar solution using AWR1843. For that I am referring to the reference design of the EVK (AWR1843BOOST).

As per my understanding of AWR1843BOOST, XDS110 (TM4C1294NCPDTT3) is used for JTAG and UART connections. I don't intend to use these connections & I want to safely remove the XDS from the circuit.

Kindly let me know the following:

a. Without XDS how would the firmware be flashed to AWR1843? Do I need an external debugger or can I send the firmware directly over UART? If external debugger is required which external debugger/flasher I need to buy?

b. Which pins from the AWR1843 are used for flashing the firmware (That I need to leave out open in my design). According to my understanding it should be TCK, TDI, TDO, TMS. Please confirm?
