Introduction
The Motion and Presence Detection Demo is the TI mmWave SDK5 out-of-box demo project for low power architecture EVMs, like the xWRL6432 and xWRL1432. It is designed to showcase the capabilities of TI’s mmWave low power sensors by using the SDK5 APIs and tools to form an application that includes device configuration, processing, and visualization of the processed data.
You can choose between two visualizer tools provided by TI for this demo:
- MMWAVE-L-SDK (SDK 5.5.4.x) Low Power Visualizer
- Found in the SDK, this visualizer enables quick configuration and visualization of the data from SDK5 devices.
- To get started, follow the Getting Started Guide for xWRL6432.
- Radar Toolbox Industrial Visualizer
- A more configurable, general-purpose visualizer that provides more control over configuration and visualization, supports more demos, and supports more devices
- To get started, follow the Using the Radar Toolbox Industrial Visualizer section below.

Using the Radar Toolbox Industrial Visualizer
1. Configure the EVM for Flashing Mode
Connect your EVM to the micro USB port and follow the steps below. You do not need to connect to the barrel jack.
Place the device into Flashing Mode by setting the switches as shown.
Then, toggle the reset button (circled in green) to latch in the mode.
2. Flash the EVM using Uniflash
Flash the appropriate binary from the prebuilt binaries folder using UniFlash. Follow the instructions for using UniFlash Prebuilt release binaries can be found in <MMWAVE_SDK5_INSTALL_DIR>\examples\mmw_demo\motion_and_presence_detection\prebuilt_binaries
3. Configure the EVM for Functional Mode
Place the device into Functional Mode by setting the switches as shown in the visualizer. For more help on device setup, follow the steps in the EVM Setup Guide for your specific EVM.
