Texas Instruments xWRL6844EVM Evaluation Module (EVM)
Texas Instruments xWRL6844EVM Evaluation Module (EVM) is an easy-to-use evaluation module for the xWRL6844 mmWave radar sensor. The xWRL6844EVM supports both standalone operation and direct connectivity to the DCA1000EVM for raw ADC capture and signal-processing development. This evaluation module contains everything required to start developing software for on-chip DSP, a hardware accelerator, and a low-power Arm® Cortex®-R5F controller. The Texas Instruments xWRL6844EVM also includes onboard buttons and LEDs for quick integration of a simple user interface, as well as onboard emulation for programming and debugging.
