Overview

The MMWAVEICBOOST carrier card expands capabilities of select 60 GHz mmWave evaluation modules. This board provides advanced software developement, debug features such as trace and single step via TI’s Code Composers compatible debuggers. On-board Launchpad interface enables pairing with TI’s BoosterPack™ compatible hardware for additional sensors and wireless connectivity. TI's LaunchPad ecosystem enables MMWAVEICBOOST access to a wider set of peripherals and connectivity.

The MMWAVEICBOOST includes a LaunchPad™ development kit interface for expanded connectivity, such as Power over Ethernet (PoE), Wi-Fi®, sub-GHz and more.
