3.1 Required Hardware and Software

The AWRL1432BOOST-BSD is an easy-to-use evaluation board for the AWRL1432 for the entry-level BSD application.

The demo runs on the AWRL1432BOOST-BSD and connects to a visualization tool running on a PC connected to the EVM over USB. Details for using this board are found in the EVM User's Guide: xWRL1432BOOST-BSD. The entry-level BSD design is an application built using the mmWave Low-power Software Development Kit (MMWAVE-L-SDK). The demo binaries found in the Radar Toolbox from the TI Resource Explorer. The MMWAVE-L-SDK version used to build this code is provided in the demo software release notes.
