    BNO055 end-of-life and recommended replacement with sensor fusion

    I've heard that the BNO055 IMU with sensor fusion has been discontinued.  Is this correct?  And if so, is there a recommended replacement of similar performance that includes sensor fusion and yaw/pitch/roll angles or euler angles?  Thank you for any information.

    Hello raycowan,

    Yes, BNO055 has been discontinued.
    You could choose BHIxy product according your application, which contain fusion algorithm in sensor.

    Hello,

    According to an email I received from BST Sales EU (BST/MKC) the chip is not obsolete. Below is the reply I received 2022-05-27:

    thank you very much for your inquiry and your interest in our products.

    1. The BNO055 is not obsolete.
    2. You can buy the BNO055 from our official distribution partners. Due to increasing demand, there might be some shortages.
      You can find them on the Bosch Sensortec Website: Distributors and Sales Representatives
    3. If you want to look for alternatives either ask our distributors or post your query in the Bosch Sensortec Community, where our technical representatives will answer your question.

     

    Digikey and Arrow show this chip as Active. If this product is indeed discontinued it would be greatly appreciated if Bosch Sensortec would send a formal EOL announcement. Currently, there is no information regarding the obsolescence of this product other than in this forum.

    Hi dfjonsson,

    Latest BNO055 status is that BNO055 is not discontinued, but not recommended for use in new designs.
    You could use BHI260AP in new design.
