AWR1243: Connection to TDA2x over CSI2

Part Number: AWR1243

Hi,

We have a requirement to connect TWO AWR1243 to TDA2x processor. The CSI2 data port from AWR12x cannot be directly connected to TDA2x as it doesnt have any CSI2 ports.

Our available options now include converting CSI2 to USB3.0  and then to PCIe. As TDA2x has two PCIe ports, we will be able to connect two of AWR12x to TDA2x comfortably. I have three questions regarding this, as  below:

1. Is there a simpler way to connect two of AWR1243 to TDA2x processor directly in a simpler way.

2. By going for CSI2>USB3.0>PCIe, we have two protocol stacks. Does the TI RTOS running on ARM of TDA2x has the drivers and support to do t his for radar data?

3. Other than data rate, is there anything that I have to look for, to avoid any surprises in this configuration?

Another option we looked into is the "CSI2>FPD link>VIN port" . We donot prefer this option due to the cost factor.

Any help on this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
