2.5.2 Connection With MMWAVE-DEVPACK

Mmwave SDK demos and released labs do not require the DevPack to be used with the BoosterPack. Users may be required to use the DevPack along with the BoosterPack for the following use cases:

  • Connecting to RADAR studio. This tool provides capability to configure the mmWave front end from the PC. This tool is available in the DFP package.
  • Capturing high-speed LVDS data using the TSW1400 platform from TI. This device allows the user to capture raw ADC data over the high-speed debug interface and post process it in the PC. The RADAR Studio tool provides an interface to the TSW1400 platform as well, so that the front end configurations and data capture can be done using a single interface. Details on this board can be found at http://www.ti.com/tool/tsw1400evm

For details on these use cases, see the mmWave-DevPack User Guide.
