Linux/AWR1443: custom design of small size mmWave sensor with CAN bus for drone application

Part Number:AWR1443

Tool/software: Linux

Hello,

I played with AWR1443BOOST, we like it and would put AWR1443 or AWR1642 on our drone for detecting obstacles. I tried fishing line, which will be a dangerous stuff for our drone, it works!

We want to do custom design to make a small size mmWave sensor (AWR1443 or AWR1642) that work with CAN bus. Will TI do custom design? Our requirement is small size, CAN bus, work in Ubuntu with ROS (now the ROS driver seems only work with serial port). Do you have any guidance on custom design? Any recommendation of someone or some team that will do custom design?

Best Regards,
