    BHI260AP Firmware, so many choices.

    This chip is on our devices board and I need to load it with firmware to verify it works. I downloaded the firmware from here.
    https://github.com/boschsensortec/BHY2-Sensor-API

    Some firmware files have the "-flash" appended to it and others don't. Not sure what firmware to use. Any suggestions?

    Hi howie,

    You need to select firmware according to your hardware. Can we know your hardware information?

    It's on a Nordic nRF9160 board communicating through an I2C. Used for PDR, or Pedestrian Dead Reckoning.

    The firmware install example references a common.h/c and that references a coines.h but that file is not listed.

    Hi howie,

    You could use firmware from this link https://github.com/boschsensortec/BHY2-Sensor-API/tree/master/firmware/bhi260ap_pdr as you would like to use PDR.

    BHI260AP_PDR.fw.h: use it if uploading firmware to Flash
    BHI260AP_PDR-Flash.fw.h: use it if uploading firmware to RAM

    Thanks for the clairification.

    The firmware install example references a common.h/c and that references a coines.h but that file (or library) is not listed with the example code. I downloaded something that looks like a whole build environment (coines_coines_external_v2-7-2_rc_windows.zip) but that looks to be much more involved then what I need for just loading the firmware and testing that the chip works on our board.

    Can you provide some insite on this?
