OVERVIEW
The TDK SmartMotion DK-UNIVERSAL-I is a comprehensive development system for TDK InvenSense Motion
Sensor devices. The platform designed around the Microchip SAM G55 MCU can be used by customers for rapid
evaluation and development of InvenSense sensor-based solutions. The platform integrates an on-board
Embedded Debugger so external tools are not required to program or debug with the SAM G55 MCU. Each
InvenSense motion sensor has its own unique development kit (DK).
The TDK SmartMotion DK-UNIVERSAL-I comes with the necessary software, including an InvenSense Motion Link, a
GUI-based development tool, and embedded Motion Drivers (eMD) for InvenSense motion sensors.
Embedded Motion Drivers (eMD) consists of a set of APIs to configure various aspects of the platform including
motion sensor parameters such as full-scale range (FSR), output data rate (ODR), low-power or low-noise
mode, and sensor interface to host (I
2
C, SPI). eMDs will also provide the following enhanced motion functions that
run on the MCU:
•
Sensor Fusion
•
Accelerometer and Gyroscope Calibration
•
Android Functions: Game Rotation Vector, Gravity, Linear Acceleration
Motion Link is a GUI-based development tool included with the platform. It can be used to capture and
visualize the sensor data from the motion sensor.
The platform supports Atmel Studio and is compatible with Microchip Xplained Pro Extension boards. The
Xplained Pro extension series evaluation kits offer additional peripherals to extend the features of the board and
ease the development of customer designs.
The TDK SmartMotion Development Kit (DK) DK-UNIVERSAL-I supports multiple types of TDK IMUs and pressure
sensors.
