You can take a look at the site for the mmWave DevPack here: www.ti.com/.../MMWAVE-DEVPACK

The DevPack is not the same as the AWR1642. The DevPack does not have any mmwave sensor device onboard. The DevPack is required when using an AWR EVM with mmWave Studio. The link provided above provides all the relevant information.

Thank you! So if we want to develop with mmwave radar we need a DEVPACK and a mmwave radar also? (like the AWR1642). I mean, is the developer pack is useless if we don't have a radar for it?

Hi,

You need the AWR1642BOOST (www.ti.com/.../AWR1642BOOST) which is the EVM for the AWR1642 Radar chip. In addition, if you require access to the raw ADC data, you may want the DCA1000 EVM (www.ti.com/.../DCA1000EVM) which allows you to capture the RAW ADC data to a host PC for offline processing.

The DCA1000 EVM replaces the MMWAVE DEVPACK, and you will not normally require the DEVPACK any more.

Best Regards,
Anand
