5 AWR2E44P Evaluation and Measurements

Easy-to-use evaluation module (EVM) is offered with AWR2E44P and AWR2944P devices, with direct connectivity to the DCA1000EVM for raw data capture. Figure 5-1 shows the AWR2E44PEVM with an installed 3D waveguide antenna. This EVM kit contains everything needed to start developing software for the on-chip C66x DSP, ARM® Cortex®-R5F controller, and hardware accelerator (HWA 2.1). There are several debug features that are included to assist in software development and hardware evaluation. These include on-board XDS110, CAN-FD transceiver, Ethernet PHY, temperature, current sensors, and high-speed connectors to interface with the DCA1000EVM or external debuggers. Figure 5-2 shows measured azimuth and elevation antenna pattern measurements on the AWR2E44PEVM.
