Quick Start Guide
The TDK SmartMotion Platform is a comprehensive development kit for InvenSense
Motion Sensor devices. The platform designed around a Microchip SAMG55 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 the SAMG55 MCU. The SmartMotion platform runs
software including InvenSense MotionLink, a GUI based sensor evaluation tool, and
the embedded Motion Drivers for motion sensor software development.
