1 Overview

The OPT8241-CDK-EVM is the official evaluation module for the second-generation 3D Time-of-Flight

(3D-ToF) sensor from Texas Instruments. This document describes the kit contents and the basic setup of

the EVM hardware and software. The EVM showcases the high-performance QVGA resolution 3D Time-

of-Flight sensor OPT8241 with its companion Time-of-Flight Controller OPT9221. Figure 1 highlights the

important components of the EVM.

3 Safety

This Laser Device is designed at Class 1 during normal operation. While the OPT8241-CDK-EVM

development boards meet the Class 1 classification requirements under EN/IEC60825-1 2007, users are

advised to take the necessary safety caution when using the OPT8241-CDK-EVM. First, examine the

board for any damage before the board is powered. Check that the diffusers and diffuser mounts are

properly secured on the laser diodes. If there is any damage, stop operating by removing power from the

CDK immediately. Opening the laser diffuser assembly may lead to hazardous radiation exposure. Any

kind of circuit modification to the board or use of software or firmware other than the recommended EVM

tools and firmware provided by TI may lead to violation of class 1 safety limits. Due to the small size and

unsuitability for labeling, laser safety related labels are included herein, rather than on the product.

WARNING

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other

than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation

exposure.

This is a class A product as defined by standard EN 61326-1:2013. This product is not intended to be

used in domestic establishments and also in establishments that are directly connected to a low-voltage

power-supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. In a domestic environment this

product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

There is no scheduled maintenance required for the OPT8241-CDK-EVM; any servicing and maintenance

of this EVM shall be performed only by trained Texas Instruments or TI-appointed trained personnel. Any

modification or significant damage to the CDK could potentially cause the CDK to operate outside of the

EN/IEC60825 2007 Class 1 classification limits.

7 Software Setup

Implement the following steps to setup the software:

1. Download the software for the appropriate platform from the TI website

here:http://www.ti.com/tool/opt8241-cdk-evm

2. Installation of the software:

• Windows - Install the software by running the downloaded executable.

• Ubuntu – The following dependencies must be installed before installing the Voxel Viewer

software.

– libusb ≥libusb-1.0

– ibudev

3. The default installation directory is “C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\Voxel Viewer-0.x.y.z” on

Windows. On Ubuntu, the name of the executable is voxelviewer.

8 Hardware Setup

The hardware setup is shown in the following steps:

1. Ensure that the software setup is complete.

2. Verify that the EVM is in a fully-assembled state, as shown in Figure 1.

3. Ensure that the power switch on the board (SW2) is in the off position (to the left).

4. Verify that there is not apparent damage to the EVM and the laser diffuser assembly is in good shape.

This step is important to avoid accidental exposure to hazardous radiation.

5. Connect the recommended power supply.

6. Connect the board to the PC using the micro-USB cable provided.

7. Throw the power switch on the board (SW2) to on position (to the right).

8. Check that the master LED is green and the chipset LED is blue in color.
