4.1 Hardware Setup

For certification, test, and characterization of EUT, TI recommends adding an option to include the 60-pin SAMTEC connector compatible with MMWAVEICBOOST. The MMWAVEICBOOST carrier card enables debug, emulation, and direct interface to mmWave tools such as the MMWAVESTUDIO and mmWave visualizer through USB connectivity. Raw analog-to-digital converter (ADC) data capture can be enabled by pairing the MMWAVEICBOOST with a DCA1000EVM real-time data capture adapter. To configure the MMWAVEICBOOST, refer to the user’s guide.

For customers unable to include the 60-pin connector, Figure 4-1 shows the essential peripherals needed to interface with mmWave studio and mmWaveVisualizer for test and certification purposes.
