IWRL6432BOOST/AWRL6432BOOST EVM: FR4-Based
Low Power 60 GHz mm-Wave Sensor EVM User Guide
Chethan Kumar Y. B.
1 Abstract
The xWRL6432BOOST from Texas Instruments is an easy-to-use low cost FR4-based evaluation board for the
xWRL6432 mmWave sensing device, with standalone operation and direct connectivity to the DCA1000EVM for
raw ADC capture and signal processing development. This EVM contains everything required to start developing
software for on-chip Hardware accelerator and low power ARM Cortex
® M4F controllers.
