IWRL1432BOOST is a prototype evaluation module and is available in limited quantities
IWRL1432BOOST
IWR1432 BoosterPack™ evaluation module for single-chip 77GHz mmWave low power sensor
IWRL1432BOOST
Overview
IWRL1432BOOST is an easy-to-use 77-GHz mmWave sensor evaluation kit based on the IWRL1432 mmWave radar sensor with an on-board ROGERS RO4835 LoPRO-based antenna. This board enables access to point-cloud data and power over USB interface. The IWRL1432BOOST supports direct connectivity to the DCA1000EVM development kit.
This kit is supported by mmWave tools, demos and software including the mmWave software development kit for low-power mmWave radar sensors (MMWAVE-L-SDK) and TI's Code Composer Studio (CCS).
Additional boards may be used to enable additional functionality. For example, DCA1000EVM enables access to the sensor’s raw ADC data capture. The on-board XDS110 enables software development via TI’s CCS.
IWRL1432BOOST can interface with the MCU LaunchPad™ development kit ecosystem.
