MMWCAS-RF-EVM: Alternative to MMWCAS-DSP-EVM

Part Number: MMWCAS-RF-EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWCAS-DSP-EVM,

I recently was able to MMCWAS-RF-EVM, but I realized that another evaluation board, the MMWCAS-DSP-EVM is needed to send data to a PC. However, this other evaluation board is currently not in stock for the time being. As the project I am using the evaluation board for is quite time sensitive, are there any recommended alternatives to the MMWCAS-DSP-EVM board that are readily available, or are there any other methods that can be done to directly connect the the MMWCAS-RF-EVM directly to a PC? Thanks! 

  • Hi Daniel,

    Unfortunately, there is no direct alternate solution for this at the moment.

    One way to achieve your use case would be to design your own custom setup that comprises of a host with CSI2-RX capabilities for 4-chip data reception. AM273x EVM can be used to capture CSI data over 2 channels and you can have your custom setup with 2 such hosts. There is a CSI data capture example for a single chip 2243 within the mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_03_00_01. You can use this as a reference to get started. You should be able to also write a routine to stream out the same data via ethernet. You can refer to the EVM schematics to see what kind of connections might be required.

    Please note that this is a personal suggestion (which we have not tried on our end) and would require a lot of effort from your end. Support on the same will also be limited.

  • Hi thanks for the help. Is there an ETA for when the MMWCAS-DSP-EVM will be in stock?

  • Hi Daniel,

    We are hoping it should be available at end of Q1 this year tentatively. But it would be subject to change and hence I cannot say for sure.
