    BMI270 Initialisation

    BMI270 Initialisation

    I have a custom board containing an EF32BG22 and a BMI270 connected via an SPI bus and I am using the BMI270-Sensor-API. When I call bmi270_init() the function correctly recognises the chip ID (from which I conclude that the SPI is working correctly at 1MHz). I load up the standard configuration file, present in the API code, in chunks of anything from 2 to 256 bytes, and at the end, I get an init_err in the INTERNAL STATUS register. I have checked that the configuration file data is present on the bus and in the correct order. I don't have microsecond timer resolution, so my delay function  always waits for at least a millisecond. I can't think of any other relevant information.

    Any suggestions as to how I can find out what the problem is?

    Hi arw,

    Which example code you refered and what is about your software environment?

    Linux Mint 21

    Simplicity Studio 5.5.2.0

    EFR32BG22 Custom Board

    https://github.com/BoschSensortec/BMI270-Sensor-API

    bmi270.c contains the function bmi270_init() and the array bmi270_config_file[].

    Hope that helps.

    Hi arw,

    We setup attached example code on STM32 based github BMI270 sensor API for your reference.
