AWR1243BOOST: Is there ready-made connection solution between AWR1243BOOST and TDAx or DRAx EVM?

Part Number: AWR1243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243

Hi all,

Currently, I have AWR1243BOOST and can develop it using VS and Matlab by connecting AWR1243BOOST+mmwavedevpack+TSW1400+PC together.

Obviously, it's too slow to be real-time processing.

Hence, I am looking for computing platform for processing data from AWR1243BOOST.

One recommendation is to use MSP43x launchpad. But it seems that MSP43x has no DSP cores, so it has only limited computing power.

I prefer to use the SOC TDAx or DRAx, which is targeted to automotive application according to TI's announcement.

Is there ready-made connection solution between AWR1243BOOST and TDAx or DRAx EVM currently? Just like that the mmwave-devpack can be used to connect AWR1243BOOST with TSW1400.

With TDAx or DRAx plus AWRxxxx, we can have both radar data and video data to implement cooler things. 

Designing a kind of custom board like that is too long time for algorithm developer.

Regards,

Feng

    Hello Feng,

    Please refer to below post on interfacing the AWR1243 with the TDA3x
    e2e.ti.com/.../657535

    I guess this is the information you need.

    Thanks,

    Hi Raghu,

    It's possible to design a custom board to interface AWR1243 with TDAx.
    However, what I want is ready-made interfacing board which is currently available on market. I want to use this kind of interfacing board to connect AWR1243BOOST with TDAx EVM.
    After searching on TI website, I can't find it. For now, this kind of interfacing board doesn't seem to exist.

    But actually I made a mistake. The reason I want to connect AWR1243 with TDAx is that I prefer to use TDAx to process the RAW data from AWR1243. However, typically TDAx seems to be central processing unit on automobile, it maybe be mounted in the center of car, away from the front bump. LRR radar seems to be mounted on the front bump. It's impracticable or not suitable to route RAW data through CSI2 for so long distance.
    All radar raw data should be processed in radar. Radar just outputs processed data to central processing unit through CAN.

    It seems to be reasonable why there is no interfacing board between AWR1243BOOST and TDAx EVM on market.

    Hello Feng,

    There is no standard offering of such a ready made platform.

    Please check "D3 Engineering "  and check if you can find any platform that suits your need.

    Thanks,
