BNO085 not working with STM32L433RC-P nucleo board

[DUBEYISM]

Dear Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently working on a project where I am trying to interface your BNO085 IMU module with an STM32L433RC-P Nucleo board. Despite numerous attempts, I have not been able to retrieve any meaningful data from the sensor.

Here are some of the key points of what I’ve tried so far:

I’m using I²C (also tested with UART) for communication.

Verified all hardware connections and logic level compatibility (3.3V).

Tried using both polling and interrupt-based approaches with STM32 HAL.

I have already tested the sensor separately with Arduino, and it works fine.

I also attempted different initialization sequences and delays, but the sensor remains unresponsive on STM32.

I would appreciate it if you could help guide me with any known compatibility issues or suggestions specific to using the BNO085 with STM32 microcontrollers. If you have any example code, documentation, or tips for STM32 integration, it would be immensely helpful.

Looking forward to your support.

Welcome to the forum.

You need to give some more detail - please see: How to write your question to maximize your chances to find a solution.

Specifically:

• A schematic of your connections. Some good, clear photos also help
• The code you've tried - see How to insert source code
• What debugging have you done; eg, scope or analyser traces of the comms

The BNO085 isn't an ST product ?

https://www.ceva-ip.com/product/bno-9-axis-imu/ - have you looked there for software drivers?

Is the I2C address of the BNO085 shifted one bit left to use it  with HAL?  eg( bnodev.dev_addr=BNO085_I2C_ADDR1<<1; )
