Overview

The IWR6843ISK is an easy-to-use evaluation board for the IWR6843 industrial mmWave sensor, operating in the 60GHz to 64GHz band. It features integrated long-range antennas on a carrier board that plugs directly into the MMWAVEICBOOST carrier card for expanded development. The board facilitates rapid evaluation of high-accuracy motion, velocity, and spatial detection using its on-board C67x DSP and ARM R4F processor.

Why Choose This Part

It provides a complete RF-to-bits solution with 1792KB of RAM and Flash, enabling complex signal processing directly on the edge. The board includes on-board PMICs and current sensors on all power rails, allowing developers to optimize power consumption for low-power industrial modes.

Applications

Industrial Automation
Area monitoring and safety guarding for machinery where high-resolution spatial data is required.
Building Automation
Occupancy detection and people counting for smart HVAC and lighting systems.
Robotics
Obstacle detection and avoidance for autonomous mobile robots (AMR) in warehouse environments.
Gesture Recognition
Non-contact human-machine interface (HMI) control using fine motion detection.

Getting Started

To begin development, connect the board to a PC via micro USB and use the TI mmWave SDK along with the UniFlash tool for firmware programming. It is recommended to use the MMWAVEICBOOST carrier board for debugging via the JTAG interface and for access to additional peripherals like CAN and LVDS.
