Dear TI Support Team,
I need your help to understand, how I can use the AWR2243BOOST for real-time system?
DCA1000 or TDAX is required to collect raw data and then further process based on system requirement but are there any other options to do the same specially for cascading setup.
I am looking at using AWR2243 for real-time detection platform.
Also, how can test the AWR2243 without DCA1000 or TDAX board ?
Best regards,
DM
Hi,
In order to use the AWR2243 for a real-time demo, a host is needed to process the data.
We provide a real time demo for AWR2243+AM273x.
Please download the mmwave SDK 4.x and review the information about the demo
AM273x MCU+ SDK: Introduction
C:\ti\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_00_01\ti\demo\am273x\mmw
Thank you
Cesar
I see, so with this could i now see the demo of awr2243 in mmw_visualizer?
ALSO LPEASE HELP ME WHY i AM NOT ABLE TO FLASH/ERASE awr2243boost WITH uniflash
it shows nothing here !
I am following this thread for flashing AWR2243BOOOST: e2e.ti.com/.../awr2243boost-flashed-without-connecting-the-board-to-the-mmwave-studio
But do I still need DCA as host ? or I can use the windows PC as host? I am not sure about this as I am new to this EVM.
Thank you for fast response!
Best regards,
DM
Hi,
To use the mmWaveLink_SFlash_FW_Example in the dfp, both the AWR2243BOOST and DCA1000EVM is needed.
Are the board jumpers are set in SOP 5 when trying to erase sFlash with Uniflash?

Please note that you will need an AM273x EVM in order to run the AWR2243 demo. You will not be able to do it with the DCA1000 board
thank you
Cesar
so do you mean this https://www.ti.com/tool/TMDS273GPEVM by AM273x EVM? but how can just use the awr2243boost to test without any other host ? just on the evaluation board to see the raw data.
Best regards,
DM
Yes,
With AWR2243BOOST and DCA1000 it is only possible to capture raw data. It is not possible to run a real time demo
thank you

Hi,
The AWR2243 is a front-end only device, and will require either an external processor - DCA1000EVM (for data capture) or AM273xEVM (real time demo).

Hi,
Could you try selecting AWR1243BOOST in the Uniflash tool instead? Please refer to this thread: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/1067552/awr2243boost-how-to-identify-awr2243-es2-0-device

Hi,
For real-time demo, an AM273x EVM (linked above) should be used with the AWR2243BOOST.
