3 Design Files and Software Tools
3.1 Hardware
To view the schematics, assembly drawings, and BOM, see IWR16xx BoosterPack and DevPack Layout
Files .

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.
3.2 Software, Development Tools, and Example Code
To enable quick development of end applications on the C67x DSP and R4F core in the IWR1642, TI
provides a software development kit (SDK) that includes demo codes, software drivers, emulation
packages for debug, and more. These can be found at
mmwave-sdk .
4 Mechanical Mounting of PCB
The field of view of the radar sensor is orthogonal to the PCB. To enable easy measurements on the
sensing objects on the horizontal plane, the PCB can be mounted vertically. The L-brackets provided with
the IWR1642 EVM kit, along with the screws and nuts help in the vertical mounting of the EVM.
Figure 21
shows how the L-brackets can be assembled.
