2.4.3 USB Connectors (J16_1, J17_1, J16_2, J17_2)

The AWR2188EVM has four standard micro USB connectors, two connectors for the primary radar FTDI and XDS110 ports and two connectors for the secondary radar FTDI and XDS110 ports.

Micro USB Connector J16_1 provides access to the primary radar UART, SPI, I2C, RS232, and SOP interfaces through the onboard FTDI chip.
