Evaluation Board for XM132

The XM132 eNTRY Module from Acconeer is an integration-ready  radar module with optimized for selected use cases.

This Entry module integrates the A111 Pulsed Coherent Radar with a 32-bit 64MHz Arm Cortex M0+ MCU, the STM32G071CBU6 from STMicroelectronics with 128 Kbytes of Flash memory and 36 Kbytes of RAM memory. The module supports a single supply operating voltage range from 1.8V to 3.6V.

The XM132 Entry Module is an integration-ready module intended to be used for evaluation and development purposes as well as for integration into commercial products. With software adapted for specific use cases, cost and time-to-market is streamlined.

The XM132 can be used as a stand-alone module where customers can embed their application on top of the Acconeer RSS (Radar System Software) using the RSS API (Application Programming Interface). It can also be used with an external host controller where communication to the module is through a register command protocol using one of the following interfaces: UART, I2C, GPIO.

The Acconeer RSS including a Software Development Kit (SDK) for stand-alone usage is available for download to the XM132 via the Acconeer developer page. An exploration Tool which helps visualize the radar measurement results can also be downloaded at Acconeer Github.
