Texas Instruments IWR6843AOPEVM Antenna-on-Package (AoP) EVM

Texas Instruments IWR6843AOPEVM Antenna-on-Package (AoP) Evaluation Module (EVM) is an easy-to-use mmWave sensor evaluation module. It comes with integrated, short-range, wide field-of-view (FoV) AoP technology, which enables direct connectivity to the mmWave sensors carrier card platform (MMWAVEICBOOST) and allows for stand-alone use. IWR6843AOPEVM enables access to point-cloud data through a USB interface and raw analog-to-digital converter (ADC) data through a 60-pin high-speed connector.

This kit is supported by standard mmWave tools and software, including mmWave studio (MMWAVE-STUDIO) and the mmWave software development kit (MMWAVE-SDK). Additional boards may be used to enable additional functionality. For example, DCA1000EVM enables access to sensor raw data via a low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) interface. MMWAVEICBOOST enables software development and trace capabilities via Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) integrated studio environment (CCSTUDIO). IWR6843AOPEVM paired with MMWAVEICBOOST can interface with the MCU LaunchPad™ development kit ecosystem.
