Linux/AWR1642BOOST: Simultaneously running two xWR1x4x boards in ROS

Tool/software: Linux

Hi,

I'd like to do the following: Run two of the same boards (in this case two AWR1642BOOST boards) simultaneously in the ROS environment.

I'm running into the following problems when connecting both boards:

• When I connect the first AWR1642BOOST, I get the following output from: ll /dev/serial/by-id

This is what I would expect having a single board plugged in. The serial ID may change from board to board. For instance, the serial ID for the IWR1642BOOST is:

usb-Texas_Instruments_XDS110__02.03.00.12__Embed_with_CMSIS-DAP_R0051028-if0x

• When I connect the second board, I get the following output from: ll /dev/serial/by-id

As you can see, both boards have the exact same serial ID, and thus the first board (connected to /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1)  disappears from the list.

How can I use both boards at the same time? Do I need to remap the serial names assigned to each device? Or is there another method for uniquely identifying each board?
