1.1 Introduction

xWR6843ISK/IWR6843ISK-ODS/ IWR6843AOPEVM and MMWAVEICBOOST are part of mmWave EVMs
hardware. The xWR6843 antenna board from Texas Instruments is an easy-to-use evaluation module for the
xWR6843 mmWave sensing device. This board contains 60-GHz mmWave Radar transceiver in which antennas
are etched on PCB or on packager and act as the Radar front-end board. The MMWAVEICBOOST is an add-on
board used with TI's mmWave sensor used in all starter kits to provide more interfaces and PC connectivity to
the mmWave sensors. The MMWAVEICBOOST board provides an interface for the mmWave Studio tool to
configure the Radar device and capture the raw analog-to-digital converter (ADC) data, using a capture board
such as DCA1000 evaluation module (EVM). xWR6843 antenna EVMs and MMWAVEICBOOST contains
everything required to start developing software for on-chip C67x DSP core and low-power ARM R4F controllers.
It provides an interface to the MSP43xx boards through 40-pin LaunchPad
