Is it common for the AR1443EVM-010 to have XAR1243 chips on them instead of XAR1443 chips?

Hi Zhon,

This was common for xWR1443 ES1.0 Silicon for less so for ES2.0 Silicon. Differences between the two are described in the errata sheet: www.ti.com/.../swrz074a.pdf

Would the latest vitalsigns gui work for the boards that has the XAR1243 chip?

Hi Zhon,

Apologies for the delay. Did you have any luck with this?

I don't believe it will since the binaries are only compatible for ES2.0 Silicon.

Zhon,

There actually was an earlier (beta) version of the Vital Signs project that worked with the pre-release ES1.0 silicon so to answer your question, yes, the vital signs project could still work on both hardware platforms. I believe you guys now have 2.0 silicon (EVMs) in-house so you can now use the latest vital signs projects that Akash mentioned as well.

Regards,

Chris
