AWR1642BOOST: Getting Started/ Data Capture

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM, AWR1642

Hi,

I've recently been given a AWR1642BOOST board to explore and eventually develop a basic anti-collision with it as part of an undergraduate research project.

I want to start by collecting raw data from it and after looking around the forums I see a lot of people saying they used the DCA1000EVM board for this. What I'm wondering is do I need this board for raw data capture and why do I need it? Also, are there any other boards I would need for this?

I also understand there is an MCU on this board, what resources do I need to start programming this? Is there a good IDE to use with this board? 

Thank you!

    Hi

    Please download the mmwave SDK 2.0.0.4 and run the oob demo. There is a lot of information provided in the mmwave sdk user's guide and the demo documentation.

    www.ti.com/.../mmwave-sdk


    The AWR1642 includes both an R4F ARM MCU and a DSP.

    Algorithms are usually implemented on the DSP. Code development on ARM and DSP is supported through code composer IDE

    Do you really need to collect raw data if you can process this data on the DSP?

    If you need to collect raw data, then you would need a DCA1000 card. This is the only additional board needed

    thank you
