clear the BHI160B fifo

[Eyalb]

hello. How can I clear the BHI160B fifo and not have to do all init of the device again after the device is working ?

I have to clear the fifo sometimes when it is full with a lot of data and I don't have time to read it.

thanks.

Hi Eyalb,

You can call BHI160B sensor API to flush FIFO data without reset sensor.
bhy_set_fifo_flush(VS_FLUSH_ALL);

hello. I tried :

result = bhy_read_bytes_remaining(&current_transaction_size);
/*printf ("IMU fifo %d bytes to read\n",current_transaction_size);*/
if (current_transaction_size > 60) /* eyalb - fifo too full */
{
max_transaction_size = current_transaction_size;
bhy_set_fifo_flush(VS_FLUSH_ALL);
result = bhy_read_bytes_remaining(&current_transaction_size);
next_transaction_size = current_transaction_size;
}

and next_transaction_size is equal to max_transaction_size and not zeroized.

Hi Eyalb,

You can send the command 0xFE and see it again.
bhy_set_fifo_flush(0xFE);
