TMDS273EVM: Is it possible to combine AWR2243BOOST + TMDS273EVM+DCA1000EVM for real-time point cloud visualization and ADC data capture simultaneously?

Hi Jay

Pls find my reply below：

1. Can AWR2243BOOST + TMDS273EVM alone perform both real-time point cloud visualization and raw ADC data capture at the same time?

2. Is it possible to cascade TMDS273EVM and DCA1000EVM together with an AWR224BOOST board to achieve both functionalities?

   For Q1 &Q2， Pls refer to mmw demo in MCUplus SDK, https://dr-download.ti.com/software-development/software-development-kit-sdk/MD-U4MY7aGNn5/04.06.01.02/mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_06_01_02-Windows-x86-Install.exe

3. If cascading is not supported, can I use two AWR2243BOOST boards—one with DCA1000EVM for ADC capture and the other with TMDS273EVM for point cloud visualization?

   If you wish to cascading 2 AWR2243 to achieve 6T8R simutaneously,  you will need TIDA-020047 hardware to capture ADC data or get point cloud, if using 2 AWR2243BOOST, they can not share the LO or any other sycn signals.

4. Is there any official Quick Start Guide for using AWR2243BOOST + TMDS273EVM? If not, could you please give a brief instruction on how I should connect them? 

   I believe you can find the official user guide of these EVMs on the home page of these EVMs.

5. Regarding the HQCD-030-12.00-TEU-SEU-1 cable used for these boards, are there any pin-order or polarity considerations to avoid damaging the hardware?

   I don't think so, the socket can only match with each other in one direction, which prevent you from damaging the board.
