AWR1243BOOST: what is HS_Debug_x port on AWR1243 for?

Part Number: AWR1243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243, AWR1642

What are the HS_Debug ports for? Since its a LVDS interface can it be used to extract raw ADC data?

Also found a reference at Table4.1 (SWRS188_AWR1243_Data Sheet Page12). What are the Analog Tests 1,2,3,4, AnaMux, VSense, GPADC,? Table 3.1 (page 4) indicates no GPADCs but Table4.1 and Block Diagram references them. Table 3.1 needs updating?

Can you

Hello Jeffrey,
Yes, for debug or lab purpose the HS_debug port (LVDS) can be used to get the ADC data out.
The AWR1243 does not provide GPADCs , we will correct the table 4.1 in the Data Sheet. Thanks for pointing this out.

Regards,
Vivek

Vivek,
Do you have supporting Documentation (app note) on how to use the debug port? Can all HS_ADC be accessed and is it the same format as the CSI interface?
Both Block Diagrams (page 2, 27) should remove the GPADC block.
Thank you.

Hello Jeffrey,
You can refer to the AWR1642 datasheet for the format and electric characteristics of the LVDS interface ( refer section 5.10.4 of the following document www.ti.com/.../awr1642.pdf).
Only difference being there are 4 data lanes in the AWR1243 while only 2 data lanes in the AWR1642, rest of it is the same.

Vivek
