Indicates the state of the onboard VIO supply for the AWR device coming from the onboard PMIC. A HIGH on the PGOOD signal (3.3 V) indicates the supply is stable. Because the I/Os are not failsafe, the MCU must not drive any I/O signals to the AWR device before this I/O supply is stable to avoid leakage current into the I/Os.

Page 18: Mechanical Mounting Of Pcb
The field of view of the radar sensor is orthogonal to the PCB. To enable easy measurements on the sensing objects on the horizontal plane, the PCB can be mounted vertically. The L-brackets provided with the AWR1642 EVM kit, along with the screws and nuts help in the vertical mounting of the EVM. Figure 21 shows how the L-brackets can be assembled. -
