7.6.3 System Topologies

The following the system topologies are supported.

  • Topology 1: Autonomous mode, with ability to wake-up external MCU
  • Topology 2: Peripheral mode, under control of external MCU

IWRL6843 IWRL6844 System Topologies

Figure 7-1 System Topologies

In Topology 1: Autonomous mode, the IWRL684x can be used as full sensor along with R5F application processor. In this case the internal application processor does all the processing and interrupts the host processor to communicate to take action based on the sensor data. Most of the processing happens on the internal MCU of the IWRL684x chip and only high level desired results are communicated to external host. In this topology, the MIPS processing capability requirements on the external MCU are relaxed, allowing the use of very low cost and low power MCU.

In Topology 2: Peripheral mode, the IWRL684x is controlled by external MCU and most of the processing is done on external MCU. In this case computational and power requirements are higher and the external MCU stays active most of the time.
