- Page 79 For mounted mode, the UART should be routed to the 60-pin connector. Set up the device as shown in Figure 6-10. When mounted as shown, the SOP mode is overridden by the MMWAVEICBOOST SOP configuration. Figure 6-10. Switch Configuration for MMWAVEICBOOST Mode When mounted and setup correctly, the MMWAVEICBOOST can be used same as the IWR6843ISK and IWR6843ODS with DCA1000EVM, LaunchPads, and so forth.
