2. Purpose
This document describes the hardware and circuitry of the RB_ARMAT91_XXAXX_A reference board (also
known as InvenSense ARM board).

3. Usage
This reference board provides a bridge function between InvenSense evaluation boards and a PC. It
connects to a PC via USB and to InvenSense evaluation boards via SPI or I2C. The figure below shows the
ARM board connecting an IMU-3000 evaluation board to a Windows PC. (Note that the ARM board is used
as a general-purpose bridge and can also be used with other InvenSense EVBs, including the ITG-3xxx and
MPU-3xxx family of devices.) The ARM processor on the reference board is not meant to be reprogrammed
by the user. It contains all code necessary to be used in conjunction InvenSense evaluation boards. Note
that separate demonstration software may accompany the individual evaluation boards with which this
device connects.

Figure 1. Example of ARM Board Used as Bridge between PC and IMU-3000 Evaluation Board. Note that
the ARM board is used as a general-purpose bridge and can also be used with other InvenSense EVBs,
including the ITG-3xxx and MPU-3xxx family of devices.

4. Other Documents
Since the ARM board is meant to bridge between InvenSense evaluation boards and a PC, this document
should be used in conjunction with the documents related to the particular board that is being used with the
ARM Board.
