IWR1443Boost is a prototype evaluation module.
IWR1443BOOST
IWR1443 single-chip 76-GHz to 81-GHz mmWave sensor evaluation module
IWR1443BOOST
Overview
The IWR1443 BoosterPack™ plug-in module is an easy-to-use 77GHz mmWave sensor evaluation board for the single-chip IWR1443 mmWave sensing device, with direct connectivity to the TI MCU LaunchPad™ development-kit ecosystem.
IWR1443BOOST contains everything required to start developing on a low-power Arm® Cortex® R4F processor. The evaluation board includes onboard emulation for programming and debugging, onboard buttons, and LEDs for quick integration of a simple-user interface.
This kit is supported by mmWave tools and software, including mmWave Studio (MMWAVE-STUDIO) and the mmWave software development kit (MMWAVE-SDK).
The standard 20-pin BoosterPack headers make the evaluation board compatible with a wide variety of MCU LaunchPad development kits and enable easy prototyping.
Additional boards may be used to enable additional functionality. For example, DCA1000EVM enables access to sensor’s raw data via LVDS interface.
A 5-V, >2.5-A supply brick with a 2.1-mm barrel jack (center positive) is not included. TI recommends purchasing an external power supply that complies with applicable regional safety standards.

Release Infomation
The mmWave SDK enables the development of millimeter wave (mmWave) radar applications using TI mmWave sensors (see list of supported Platform / Devices).The SDK provides foundational components which will facilitate end users to focus on their applications.In addition, it provides few demo applications which will serve as a guide for integrating the SDK into end - user mmWave application
What's new
- I2C Driver: Added support for the sub address mechanism in I2C slave mode.
- EDMA Driver: ISR latency reduction using transfer completion code context passed to the transfer complete ISR.
- Antenna spacing based correction factor for xyz estimation improvement.
- New beta version DPUs/DPC to support compression/decompression: Objdetcmphwa DPC invoking rangeproccmp HWA, dopplerprocdcmp HWA and aoaprocdcmp HWA DPUs. C
- Added support for antenna board variants (ISK, ODS, AOP) and corresponding antenna spacing factor.
- Added low power APIs library as libsleep utils library and updated the xWR68xx demo to take CLI command inputs.
- Enabled RTRIM programming feature for all Gen1 devices by providing a switchable macro. xWR68xx uses a DFP API to do the same and other Gen1 devices uses rtrim utils library to set and get RTRIM value.
- Custom beta demo - xwr64xx_compression, to demonstrate compression/decompression of radar data cube, based on the existing xwr64xx demo.
