NOTE:
Boards with a Rev 'C' sticker have had capacitor C56 (VBGAP decoupling capacitor)
changed from 0.22 µF to 0.047 µF (part number CGA2B3X7R1H473K050BB). TI
recommends that customers incorporate this change with an equivalent capacitor in their
designs.

Software, Development Tools, and Example Codes
To enable quick development of an end application on the R4F core in the IWR1443, TI provides a
software development kit (SDK) which includes demo codes, software drivers, an emulation package for
debug, and so on. The SDK is available at

Mechanical Mounting of PCB
The field of view of the radar sensor is orthogonal to the PCB. The L-brackets provided with the IWR1443
EVM kit, along with the screws and nuts help in the vertical mounting of the EVM.
shows how
the L-brackets can be assembled.
