AWRL6844EVM

Building blocks

• Integrated driver packages.
• Power management framework to exercise different device low power modes.
• Layered approach to programming analog front end (AFE).

FreeRTOS™ and no-RTOS support on Arm® Cortex®-R5F processor and TI digital signal processor C66x

Demonstrations and examples

• FreeRTOS-based Out-of-box demo with easy configurability via low power visualizer GUI.
• Out-Of-box demo integrated with the power management framework to operate the device in the lowest power mode possible for the use-case.
• FreeRTOS & no-RTOS based examples for various drivers.

Tools

• Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE) (CCSTUDIO).
• SysConfig for the system code generation.

The Code Composer Studio™ IDE is a complete integrated suite that enables developers to create and debug applications of all Texas Instruments Embedded Processors (Sitara, DSP, Automotive, Keystone), Microcontrollers (SimpleLink™, C2000 Digital Control, MSP430, TM4C, Hercules), as well as Digital Power (UCD) and Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) devices.

CCS v20 is TI’s next generation Integrated Development Environment (IDE) based on Theia IDE framework. CCS v20.4.0 uses a modified version of the Theia-IDE framework and offers a user experience similar to Visual Studio Code™.

• Installation instructions and User's Guide
• Windows 32bit is not supported with CCSv20.
• XDS510 class debug probes are not supported with CCSv20.

mmWaveStudio GUI is designed to characterize and evaluate TI mmWave sensor devices. This package includes the GUI, associated tools and firmware for the performance evaluation of TI mmWave sensor devices. For more information please refer to the mmWaveStudio user guide and release notes. mmWaveStudio 4.3 is designed to support TI 3rd generation low power devices like xWRL68xx. The mmWave DFP APIs for these devices are brand new and this version of mmWaveStudio supports only these 3rd generation device APIs.

New Modules

• Selecting the Right Radar Device -> Security Features Overview Provides a high-level overview of the security features available with TI mmWave radar devices
• These security features determine the type of application boot flow that is followed by that device
• Radar Algorithms -> Motion and Presence Detection In-depth look at the commonly used motion/presence detection state machine
• Provides context on how the state transitions work and how the algorithm can be configured for various applications
