Getting Started

1 Getting Started

1.1 Introduction

The AWR2544LOPEVM is an easy-to-use evaluation board for the AWR254x mmWave sensing device, with
direct connectivity to the DCA1000
®
for the on-chip ARM Cortex
emulation for programming and debugging as well as on-board buttons and LEDs for quick integration of a
simple user interface.

1.2 Key Features

• Speed Wireless Technology 3D waveguide antenna
• XDS110 based JTAG emulation with Serial port for onboard 64-bit QSPI flash programming
• UART to USB Debug port for terminal access using FT4232H
• 60-pin, high-density (HD) connector for external JTAG/ Emulator Interface with TRACE and CSI2 support
• 60-pin, high-density (HD) connector for debug, SPI, I2C and LVDS
• RJ45 connector to stream the captured data over the network to the host PC
• MATEnet Ethernet interface to stream the captured data over the network to an automotive host
• One button and LED for basic user interface
• 12 V power jack to power the board

1.3 What's Included

1.3.1 Kit Contents
• AWR2544LOPEVM
• 3D waveguide Antenna
• Micro USB cable
• Ethernet Cable
• Mounting brackets, screws, spacers and nuts, to allow placing the PCB vertical
A 12V, > 2.5-A supply brick with a 2.1-mm barrel jack (center positive) is not included. TI recommends
using an external power supply that complies with applicable regional safety standards, such as UL,
CSA, VDE, CCC, PSE, and more. The length of the power cable should be < 3 m.
The following power supply has been tested to work with the AWR2544LOPEVM: SDI65-12-U-P5.
1.3.2 mmWave Out-of-Box (OOB) Demo
TI provides sample demo codes to easily get started with the AWR2544LOP evaluation module (EVM) and to
experience the functionality of the AWR2544LOP radar sensor. For details on getting started with these demos,
