Hello,
will the CCS PROJECTS from AWR1642 to AWR1843 work? or you have to program the whole thing again for AWR1843.
Best regards.

It is not clear if you are asking about CCS project files or demo source code that CCS project files apply to.
An application written for AWR1642 will run on AWR1843 without recompiling as long as the adjustment is made in the chirp config file to use Tx antennas 1 and 3 verses antennas 1 and 2 on the 1642. If you want to port/rebuild the application from 1642->1843, two things must change:
1) the pinmux statements that configure UART, SPI, CAN, etc. These are usually done in the MSS, and should be wrapped in #ifdef SOC_XWR18XX ... #endif statements.
2) SOC_XWR18XX will need to be defined for both MSS and DSS builds instead of SOC_XWR16XX.
CCS projectspec files written for AWR1642 can easily be modified for AWR1843. Please compare the .projectspec files located in C:\ti\mmwave_automotive_toolbox_2_9_1\labs\lab0003_occupancy_detection\src to see what changes. Note that this lab has been modified to build correctly using the projectspecs for AWR1642, AWR1843 or IWR6843. The Automotive Toolbox is available for download from the TI Resource Explorer, either from CCS->View->Resource Explorer or here: http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AFeCagqbt7.hu2lHOXE4eA__AocYeEd__LATEST
