Introduction
The Radar Baseboard MCU4 is a generic sensor interface for Infineon's 24 GHz radar sensors. The central MCU
can perform radar data processing or forward the sensor data to a USB interface or an Arduino interface. The
board is designed to allow customers to do prototyping and system integrations as well as initial product
feature evaluations.
An onboard debugger with licensed firmware from SEGGER, it also allows easy debugging over USB. Infineon's
powerful, free-of-charge toolchain DAVE™ can be used for programming the XMC4700 microcontroller. This
application note describes the key features and hardware configuration of the Radar Baseboard MCU4 in detail.
