1 Introduction

The information presented here is applicable to any of the following scenarios:

  • Have hardware/software currently deployed on xWR6843 ES1.0 and want to migrate it to xWR6843 ES2.0
  • Have hardware/software currently deployed on xWR1642 and want to migrate it to xWR6843 ES2.0
  • Have hardware/software currently deployed on xWR1642 and want to migrate it to xWR1843
  • Have hardware/software currently deployed on xWR6843AOP ES1.0 and want to migrate to xWR6843AOP ES2.0

The information presented in this document covers:

  • Comparison of the base and the new target device along-with a description of how those differences impact existing hardware and software.
  • SDK version required for the new target device and updates needed in application build infrastructure (makefiles and/or CCS projects, linker command files, and so forth)
  • Updates needed in application source code, for example, API updates, new structure parameters, and so forth.
  • Example source code comparison snapshots are provided for easy reference.

For information specific to your current and target device, see the following sections.
