DepthAI Boards

This repository contains the hardware specifications for OAK devices (Hardware docs here).

Directory structure

The batch folder contains a file for each device type, which looks like this:

{
	"title": "<board title>",
	"description": "<board description>",
	"options": {
		"bootloader": "<bootloader type>",
		"environment": "<python environment name>",
		...
	},
	"variants": [
		{
			"title": "<variant title>",
			"description": "<variant description>",
			"options": {
				"bootloader": "<bootloader type>",
				"environment": "<python environment name>",
				...
			},
			"eeprom": "<eeprom file path>",
			"board_config_file": "<board config file path>",
		}, ...
	]
}

Fields that are not specified here should be considered deprecated.

options field is used to specify the device properties such as bootloader type, required python environment, settings used for calibration, tests that should be run, etc. They can be specified at device level or at variant level. If they are specified at variant level, they will override the device level settings.

If a specific device needs a special treatment during calibration, flashing, etc. it should be specified in the options field. Code such as if "POE" in device_name: should be avoided at all costs!

eeprom field specifies the path to the EEPROM configuration file. EEPROM configuration files are located in the batch/eeprom folder and they look like this:

{
    "batchName": <batch name>,
    "batchTime": <batch time in seconds since epoch>,
    "boardConf": "nIR-C30M00-00",
    "boardName": "BC2087",
    "boardRev": "R0M0E0",
    "productName": "OAK-D-LR",
    "boardCustom": "",
    "hardwareConf": "F1-FV00-BC000",
    "boardOptions": 1025,
    "version": 7
}

board_config_file field specifies the path to the baord config file. They are located in the boards folder. Board config file is used to specifiy camera extrinsics and other board specific settings.
