520- Vehicle-mounted radar board based on ZU15EG and No. 4 AWR1243

Item No.: 520
Description
1. Overview
This board is independently developed by our company, it is based on the MPSOC series SOC XCzu15EG-FFVB1156 architecture and equipped with two groups of 64-bit DDR4, each with a capacity of 32Gb and a maximum stable operation speed of 2400MT/s. There are also one 10G SFP+ optical fiber interface, one 40G QSFP optical fiber interface, one USB3.0 interface, one gigabit network interface and one DP interface. The board card has automatic power-on sequence and supports various start modes, such as Nor Flash start, EMMC start, SD card start and so on. The board card can dock with four AWR1243 MMW radar board MMWCas-RF-EVM of TI Company's . It can be used in high speed signal processing, vehicle radar signal processing and other fields. The design meets industrial requirements.
