TDK InvenSense ICM-20948 9DOF IMU high-level driver.

This driver communicates with a kernel-side driver that is integrated with the camera sensor driver on some optional JeVois sensors only. Currently, on JeVois-A33, only the OnSemi (Aptina) AR0135 global shutter optional camera sensor is equipped with an IMU. On JeVois-Pro, all camera sensors are equipped with an IMU.

The specifications of this chip are quite impressive:

  • 3-axis 16-bit accelerometer with full-range sensitivity selectable to +/-2g, +/-4g, +/-8g, and +/-16g.
  • Accelerometer data rate from 4 Hz to 1125 Hz.
  • 3-axis 16-bit gyroscope with full-range sensitivity selectable to +/-250dps (degrees/s), +/-500dps, +/-1000dps, and +/-2000dps.
  • Gyroscope data rate from 4 Hz to 1125 Hz.
  • 3-axis 16-bit magnetometer (compass) with wide range of +/-4900uT (micro Tesla).
  • Magnetometer data rates 10 Hz, 20 Hz, 50 Hz, or 100 Hz.
  • 16-bit temperature sensor with readout rate of up to 8 kHz.
  • RAW data mode (get current sensor values at any time), buffered (FIFO) data mode (sensor values accumulate into a FIFO at a fixed rate), and digital motion processing mode (DMP; raw data is processed on-chip).
  • On-chip digital motion processor (DMP) can compute, inside the IMU chip itself:
    • quaternion 6 (uses accel + gyro),
    • quaternion 9 (uses accel + gyro + compass),
    • geomag quaternion (uses accel + compass),
    • flip/pickup detection,
    • step detection and counting,
    • basic activity recognition: drive, walk, run, bike, tilt, still.

With quaternions computed on-chip, with an algorithm that gets sensor data at a highly accurate, fixed rate, and applies various calibrations, drift corrections, and compensations on the fly, one gets highly accurate real-time estimate of the sensor's pose in the 3D world and of how it is moving.

Note that on JeVois-A33 communication with the IMU is over a 400kHz I2C bus, which may limit data readout rate depending on which data is requested from the IMU. On JeVois-Pro, communication is over SPI at 7MHz.

This IMU has 3 basic modes of operation (parameter mode, which can only be set in params.cfg):

  • RAW: One can access the latest raw sensor data at any time using the getRaw() or get() functions. This is the simplest mode of operation. One disadvantage is that if you are not calling get() at a perfectly regular interval, there will be some time jitter in your readouts. The IMU does not provide any time stamps for its data.
  • FIFO: In this mode, data from the sensor is piled up into a 1 kbyte FIFO buffer at a precise, constant rate (when all three of accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer are on, the gyro rate determines the FIFO buffering rate). Main advantage is that you can then read out the data without having to worry about calling getRaw() or get() at a highly precise interval. But you need to be careful that the FIFO can fill up and overflow very quickly when using high sensor data rates.
  • DMP: In this mode, data is captured from the sensor at an accurate, fixed rate, and is fed to the on-chip digital motion processor (DMP). The DMP then computes quaternions, activity recognition, etc and pushes data packets into the FIFO as results from these algorithms become available.

CAUTION: This class has state and is not re-entrant. Namely, we store the current register bank of the IMU chip in a class member variable. This could get out of sync if several member functions of this class are called concurrently. Because we assume this will not be the case in normal operation, we do not protect chip access with a mutex. Users should use an external mutex to protect this class if used in a multithreaded manner.
