AWRL6888 evaluation module
AWRL6888EVM
Overview
The AWRL6888EVM from Texas Instruments is an easy-to-use evaluation module (EVM) for the AWRL6888 mmWave radar sensor. The AWRL6888EVM supports both standalone operation as well as direct connectivity to the DCA1000EVM for raw ADC capture and signal processing development. This EVM contains everything required to start developing software for on-chip DSP, Hardware accelerator and low power ARM® Cortex® - R5F controller. The EVM also includes on-board buttons, LEDs for quick integration of a simple user interface in addition to onboard emulation for programming and debugging.
Features
- 57GHz to 64GHz mmWave radar sensor
- On-Chip C66x DSP, ARM CORTEX-R5F controller and Hardware Accelerator (HWA 1.2)
- Onboard eight-transmit and eight-receive antennas (8TX/8RX) with High RF performance RO3003 PCB substrate
- TPS650365x based power management topology
- Direct interface with DCA1000 for debug and Raw ADC data capture.

Release Information
The Radar Toolbox demonstrates the capabilities of TI's mmWave radar sensors through software demos, examples, source code and documentation. It supports the xWRx843, xWRLx432, xWRL68xx and xWR29xx families of mmWave radar devices. It is intended to be used as a companion package with the device's corresponding SDK (typically MMWAVE-SDK3, MMWAVE-MCUPLUS-SDK, MMWAVE-L-SDK-5 or MMWAVE-L-SDK-6) to demonstrate specific demos and features.
