Overview

The IWR6843AOPEVM is an evaluation module for the IWR6843 integrated mmWave sensor, featuring Antenna-on-Package (AoP) technology for 60GHz to 64GHz operation. This board includes a high-performance C674x DSP, an ARM Cortex-R4F processor, and a hardware accelerator for efficient radar signal processing. It is designed to evaluate wide field-of-view sensing in a compact form factor without requiring external antennas.

Why Choose This Part

The Antenna-on-Package design significantly reduces PCB complexity and board size while providing a 130-degree wide field of view. Integration of the DSP and MCU allows for edge processing of point-cloud data directly on the device, minimizing host processor load.

Applications

Industrial Robotics
Enables safety guards and collision avoidance for autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and industrial robotic arms.
Building Automation
Used for high-resolution occupancy detection, people counting, and motion tracking in smart buildings.
Gesture Recognition
Facilitates contactless human-machine interface (HMI) controls via fine-motion radar sensing.

Getting Started

Connect the EVM to a PC via the micro-USB port and use the TI mmWave Demo Visualizer for immediate data output and configuration. Development requires the MMWAVE-SDK and the Code Composer Studio (CCS) IDE, while the mmWave Industrial Toolbox provides pre-built lab examples for various use cases.
