Best way to use BME688 dev board w/o AI-Studio

Hi all
Maybe I missed it, but to me it is not clear how I can use the BME688 dev board (8xBME688 + ESP32 / Huzzah32 board -> https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/media/boschsensortec/downloads/product_flyer/bst-bme688-fl001.pdf) if I cannot, or do not want to use the Bosch AI-Studio (in my case I cannot because I use Linux, but there might also be reasons to use different analysis strategies).
I checked already BSEC-Arduino-library (https://github.com/BoschSensortec/BSEC-Arduino-library), which does not include the BME688 drivers and thus does not seem compatible. I also tried the BSEC 2.x Software (https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/software-tools/software/BME688-software/) but there I don't get the example working (error code -2), also there is no documentation at all.
Thanks to anyone that could help me out here, or that sits in the same boat and would like to discuss some possible approaches.

Hello Nik, 

 

BME68x array board is for AI studio, not for BSEC. Therefore, currently we don't have example code for it. Sorry about that. 

The idea is using AI studio, you can create your own configuration to detect some gas or smell. Then, you need to test with app 3.0 + BME688 board using the confiugration. 

Thanks,
