Qorvo QM35825DK-05 Linux® Development Kit

Qorvo QM35825DK-05 Linux® Development Kit is for the QM35825 and enables the user to quickly discover the world of Ultra Wide Band (UWB), especially the ranging and radar capabilities. Without prior experience, users will discover UWB, prototype, and develop applications through the Getting Started Guide.

The Qorvo Explorer App (GUI) quickly demonstrates the capabilities of the QM35825 device.

• Precise measurement of the distance between two UWB devices (±5cm accuracy)
• Direction of other UWB device (±2° angle accuracy)
• Radar scanning of a nearby environment (presence detection – is the user near the sensor?)

The Software Development Kit (SDK) demonstrates how to write applications under Linux based on the Qorvo stack (Fira3.0 certified). This application, written in C/C++, is executed on the Raspberry PI 4 integrated into the kit. The Getting Started Guide explains how UWB ranging accurately tracks a UWB device's position and movement.

Features

  • Secure ranging (distance between two UWB devices)
  • PDoA (angle between two UWB devices)
  • Radar (scanning a nearby environment)

Applications

  • Secure identification and logical access (payment console, barcode readers, laptops)
  • Geofencing for safety and security
  • Radar for motion detection, vital sign monitoring, people counting, gesture detection/recognition
  • Consumer IoT, home entertainment
  • Enhanced user experience with Location Aware Sensing based on FiRa 3.0 (TV and Air Mouse, speakers, and smart thermostats)
  • Hands-free door lock access (based on CCC/Aliro specification)
