3.1 Required Hardware and Software

The AWR1843AOPEVM from Texas Instruments is an easy-to-use evaluation board for the AWR1843AOP mmWave sensing devices.

The AoP automated parking application runs on the AWR1843AOP EVM and connects to a Matlab GUI running on a PC connected to the EVM over USB.

For details regarding usage of this board, see AWR1843AOP Evaluation Module (AWR1843AOPEVM) SingleChip mmWave Sensing Solution.
