AWR1642BOOST: Conecting AWR1642BOOST to another microprocessor

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

Hi,

I'am working now on project where I want to conect  AWR1642 boost to drone flight controller. I want to send data from SSR lab demo via UART, however the AWR1642 board have two COM ports and  I do not know how to choose one for data port. Is it possible to comunicate with another microcontroller via USB on board, or only with PC?

Best regrds ,

Damian

    Hi Damian,

    The two COM ports have names "XDS110 Class Application/User UART" and "XDS110 Class Auxiliary Data Port". The former is the port used for configuration and the latter is the one used for sending data out from the AWR1642BOOST.

    You can connect these to a microcontroller instead of a PC, provided the microcontroller supports communication over USB-UART.

    The microcontroller supporst comunication over USB_UART. But should I set this microcontoller? Should it be set as a normal UART comunicatonin, or as comunication device as a HOST?

    Hi Damian,

    The AWR1642BOOST will be a USB device exposing two USB-UARTs. The microcontroller will need to act as a USB host. If this is not possible, then you cannot connect the AWR1642BOOST to the microcontroller over USB-UART.

    Best Regards,
