3.1 Required Hardware and Software

The AWR2944 BoosterPack™ plug-in module is an easy-to-use evaluation board for the AWR2944 mmWave sensing devices.

The BSD, LCA, and CTA applications run on the AWR2944BOOST EVM and connects to a visualization tool running on a PC connected to the EVM over USB. Details for using this board are found in the AWR2944 Evaluation Module (AWR2944BOOST) Single-Chip mmWave Sensing Solution user's guide. The BSD, LCA, and CTA design is an application built using the mmwaveSDK. As such, it is necessary to install the mmwave SDK from mmWave software development kit (SDK). The source code for the BSD, LCA, and CTA design is found in the mmWave Automotive Toolbox from the TI Resource Explorer. The MMWAVE-MCUPLUS-SDK version used to build this code is provided in the demo software release notes.
