The XM112 module can be used in two regimes:
Stand-alone module: The module has got no dependency on external controllers. The
application is customized to a specific use case by the customer and runs on the embedded
MCU. The customers application is accessing the RSS API via a software interface.
Controlled module: The module is connected to an external controller where the customer
runs their application software. The customers are accessing the RSS API via a hardware
interface through the module server, that provides register mapped protocol. The module
output is either detector output data or service radar data through the XM112 external
interfaces such as SPI, UART and I2C.
Using the XM112 as Stand-alone module Acconeer offers SDK that provides RSS, hardware
abstraction layer, device drivers and build system provided as source code and as well example
applications. Based on SDK it is possible for the customer to develop their own application. Both RSS
and applications that runs on the embedded MCU.
Using the XM112 as Controlled module Acconeer provides SW image including RSS and module
server application that provides hardware interface accessing the RSS API through a register mapped
protocol, see ref [4].
