Part Number: AWR1243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642, , MMWAVE-STUDIO, DCA1000EVM, AWR1243, AWR1443

I know for AWR1642 BOOST, when i first run AWR1642, or switch between demo/lab and capturing data, i needs do flashing mode first, then do functional mode at first time. Next as long as i do not change demo/lab or capturing data, i neen not do flashing mode, just power on evrytime is ok.

1/How about AWR1243BOOST for capturing data?

2/when i first ues AWR1243BOOST for capturing data, can I do dev mode directly, or need i must do flashing mode(SOP=101), and then do dev mode(SOP=011) ?
3/How about AWR1243P chip, also can i do dev mode directly?

Hello Liu,

A1: You can use the AWR1243BOOST along with the DCA1000EVM to capture the raw ADC data over LVDS interface using the MMWAVE-STUDIO.

A2: When using the AWR1243BOOST + DCA1000EVM , erase the flash and then use the setup in dev mode(SOP : 011) .

A3: Same as A2.

Thanks,
Raghu

so erasing the flash is a necessary step?
Why? AWR1642 BOOST/AWR1443 BOOST has AMR core and DSP, but AWR1243/AWR1243P do not. So i think, no need to erase the flash for AWR1243/AWR1243P. Esraing what?

Hello Liu,

The erase flash would be required if you are in the development mode(SOP:011) when using the mmWaveStudio. Please refer to the "AWR1243 Bootloader Flow (Rev. A)" for understanding the bootloader flow of the AWR1243 device.
