The Broadcom
®
AFBR-S50 evaluation kit is composed of the following main components:

NXP FRDM-KL46Z evaluation board: Embedded microcontroller platform (ARM Cortex-M0+) used to read out the
AFBR-S50 ToF sensor's data and exchange with the PC.

AFBR-S50 adapter board: The circuit board on which the AFBR-S50 ToF sensor is mounted. It delivers out-of-box
connection between the sensor and a microcontroller board without the need for soldering (just plug and play).

USB-mini cable: Required to establish a communication between the AFBR-S50 and your system environment (for
example, PC, embedded application system).
