1.1 Introduction

The IWRL6432FSP Evaluation Module (EVM) presents an easily navigable and cost-effective platform for assessing the capabilities of the IWRL6432 mmWave sensing device. Designed with an FR408HR-based PCB substrate, the board is optimized for a smaller form factor for space constrained end equipment and applications. With a focus on user-friendliness and versatility, the EVM can operate in stand alone mode and includes features that streamline the initiation of software development for on-chip hardware accelerators and low-power ARM® Cortex®-M4F processor.

Key attributes of this EVM include a wide-field-of-view antenna design, specifically crafted for wall and ceiling mounted sensing applications. A USB to UART interface provides point-cloud data and 3.3V power input. The inclusion of power-efficient discrete DC-DC regulators enhances overall energy efficiency.

Additionally, the EVM operates in a compact, low-power form, and incorporates a serial port for programming an on board 16 Mbit QSPI flash. This EVM stands as a comprehensive design for developers keen on exploring the potential of the IWRL6432 mmWave sensing device for battery-powered applications.
