Today, let’s talk about how to quickly get started with a TI millimeter wave development board. . .

First look at the picture below

The most important parts are radar chip, reset button, dip switch and USB port.

For the radar chip part, TI's toolbox is divided into automotive and industrial, and there are different versions of the toolbox. The latest version often requires the latest version of the radar chip. When I went to TI's tour, he also talked about several versions, but as far as the 4 boards and 2 processing boards I bought myself are concerned, the versions available now are all the latest, and there is no problem with the precautions mentioned in the demo. However, I guess you may have to pay attention if you buy it privately from tb. Of course, the demos in previous versions of the toolbox may be more suitable for the project you want to complete. At this time, you need to pay attention to the version issue.

Reset button: To be honest, engineering students probably know that you should always restart before you decide. You need to press the reset button after uniflash, CCS, or after changing the DIP switch. You will often encounter many problems during the debugging process. You may press the button and the demo will run. Don't ask me. If you ask me, I will just remember the memory of not being able to debug the whole afternoon.

Dip switch problem: emphasis, emphasis, emphasis, emphasis . Don't run the demo and burn the program right away. The setting of the dip switch determines whether the development board is in functional mode, flash mode and a few special modes, as well as when it is connected to DCA1000 or industrial carrier board. These situations have different or the same dip switch settings. Therefore, userguide, userguide, userguide , there is a doc folder, which contains all the information about the dip switch settings.

USB port: AWR6843 has only one USB port and no power port. The USB cable is used to transmit data and provide power.

These two ports are connected to the DCA1000 and the industrial carrier board. The connection method can also be found in the user manual. Of course, you can also connect directly. The main thing is that if you connect it incorrectly, it will not work. Let's take a look at the picture.
