Description

The xWRL6844EVM from Texas Instruments is an easy-to-use evaluation module for the xWRL6844 mmWave radar sensor. The xWRL6844EVM supports both standalone operation as well as 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 DSP, Hardware accelerator and low power ARM® Cortex® - R5F controller. The EVM also includes on-board buttons, LEDs for quick integration of a simple user interface in addition to onboard emulation for programming and debugging.
