Module software for XM112
The HP Module software enable register-based access to radar functionality from external devices
connected to the HP Module. The module software is delivered as an image.
Typical usages of the HP Module software are:
1.
Integration of radar functionality in your product to decrease development cost and time to
market.
2.
Module evaluation and algorithm development in Python together with the “Acconeer Python
Exploration Tool” that is available for download on GitHub. https://github.com/acconeer/
The HP Module software provides a rich register-based API that can be accessed over UART, SPI and
I2C

.
The Module software will initially support the following services and detectors:
-
Power Bin Service
-
Envelope Service
-
IQ Data Service
-
Distance peak detector with fixed threshold
Support for more detectors is planned for future module software releases.
2.3
SDK for ATMEL SAME70
For users that wish to use the module MCU to implement their own applications and other SW
components we also provide an SDK.
The Acconeer SDK comes with an API (Application Programming Interface). Acconeer provides
several service oriented example applications, as well as customer guidelines for application
development when utilizing the API. All APIs provided by Acconeer are documented in the SDK.
