Which microcontrollers do boards using the BMI160 use?
Most are built on STM32 (2).
How big is a typical board using the BMI160?
The median is 44.5 × 70 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the BMI160?
By GitHub stars, Cheap-FOCer-2 by shamansystems, with 405 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the BMI160 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
