This board supports an ''AHRS'' mode, but on my computer the option is grayed out. I am running V2 of the board which is supposed to support this mode. Is there some addional firmware that must be loaded? If so, where do I get it and how do I load it?

Thanks Al

Hi Al,

Probably firmware upgrading is necessary, here below the procedure:

1. Download and install the Dfuse from  the URL: 

   http://www.st.com/internet/evalboard/product/250367.jsp

2. Run the DFU demo application
3. Start the device in DFU mode --> Plug in the USB cable pressing the button (SW2)
4. The device is recognized as a DFU device. Select the iNEMOV2_Firmware_PackageV2.0.0_AHRS.dfu file from installation folder of the iNEMOâ„¢ suite application under the Firmware/DFU image folder and upgrade

5. Press Leave DFU mode

6. Check the Device Manager now. In ports, you should now find the STEVAL-MKI062V2 device connected
7. Run the iNEMOâ„¢ application

Details are available in the User Manual UM0993 at

Hi Fabio

I upgraded my iNemo STEVAL-MKI062V2 with the file ''iNEMOV2_Firmware_PackageV2.0.0_AHRS.dfu'', but the AHRS stays greyed out in the iNemo Suite GUI, any reason why we can't use the AHRS mode ? Regards Philip
