AWR6843AOPEVM: How to connect AWR6843EVM and DCA1000EVM

Hi Junehee,
    Could you please elaborate what you mean by antenna characteristics exactly?

• However, I would recommend start evaluation the device with running Out-of-Box demo in demo visualizer. For running OOB, please refer to following documents
  
  1. EVM User guide
  2. mmwave_sdk_user_guide (Present in latest SDK - mmwave_sdk_03_06_02_00-LTS)
  
  
  
• Yes, you can use mmWaveStudio 02.01.01.00. For using mmWave studio please additionally refer to the below documents present in docs folder of mmwave studio.
  
  1.mmwave_studio_user_guide
  2.DCA1000_Quick_Start_Guide
  
  
  
• There are already existing e2e's which will help you with the evaluation. I am attaching few below :
  (+) [FAQ] IWR6843 Antenna-on-Package (AoP) Frequently Asked Questions - Sensors forum - Sensors - TI E2E support forums
  (+) [FAQ] Queries related to mmWave Demo Visualizer - Sensors forum - Sensors - TI E2E support forums
  (+) AWR6843ISK: Demo Visualizer (Point Cloud data) using 6843ISK, DCA1000EVM, and mmWaveICBoost. - Sensors forum - Sensors - TI E2E support forums
  
  

I want to connect AWR6843AOPEVM and DCA1000EVM to check 1D FFT, 2D FFT.

In this case, which document should I check to know how to use it?

Hi Junehee,
    You need to use mmwave studio for collecting Raw data with AWR6843AoP EVM and DCA1000EVM and post process it. Please refer to the following documents.
    1.AWR6843AoP EVM user guide (for switch settings and setup information.)
    2.mmwave_studio_user_guide
    3.DCA1000_Quick_Start_Guide
    4.ICD (Interface Control Document)

You will be able to find some training videos related to 6843AoP EVM and DCA1000 in the following link :  mmWave radar sensors  | TI.com

Hi

I have AWR6843AOPEVM "F" version.

The user manual says it is based on G version. 

I think F version cannot be directly connected to DCA1000EVM. 

*Question
- How to connect F version directly to DCA1000EVM
- How to purchase G version

Thanks.

Hi Junehee,
    Yes you are right. AWR6843AoP Rev F version requires an MMWAVEICBOOST along with DCA1000 for raw data capture. Please follow the attached document for switch settings and connections for raw data capture. Please let me know if you face any difficulties with the setup.
   AWR6843AoP Rev G EVM can be purchased directly from ti.com.
