IWR1642Boost is a prototype evaluation module.
IWR1642BOOST
IWR1642 single-chip 76-GHz to 81-GHz mmWave sensor integrating DSP and MCU evaluation module
IWR1642BOOST
Overview
IWR1642BOOST is an easy-to-use 77GHz mmWave sensor evaluation board for the IWR1642 device , with direct connectivity to the microcontroller (MCU) LaunchPad™ Development Kit.
The BoosterPack™ contains everything required to start developing software for on-chip C67x DSP core and low-power ARM® R4F controllers, including onboard emulation for programming and debugging, as well as 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.
Features
- Onboard antenna to enable field testing
- XDS110-based JTAG with serial port interface for flash programming
- UART-to-USB interface for control, configuration, and data visualization

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.
