NXP AN4460: Using the Xtrinsic FXOS8700CQ Command Line Interface Software
Application note detailing CLI software for the FXOS8700CQ sensor using the MC9S08QE8 MCU on the RD4247FXOS8700 toolbox platform for register access and data streaming.
Overview
This application note describes the command line interface (CLI) driver for the Xtrinsic FXOS8700CQ 6-axis accelerometer and magnetometer. The software is designed for use with the RD4247FXOS8700 sensor toolbox platform featuring the MC9S08QE8 microcontroller. It enables users to communicate with the sensor via a virtual serial port over USB using standard terminal programs. Key capabilities include reading and modifying device registers, viewing operating modes (Hybrid, Accel Only, or Mag Only), and streaming XYZ data as signed counts or physical units. The document outlines hardware programming procedures via PE Micro USB multilink and CodeWarrior, terminal configuration (115200 baud), and specific CLI commands for data acquisition through polling, interrupts, or FIFO buffers.
Use Cases
- Sensor evaluation and debugging
- Firmware development for HCS08 microcontrollers
- Real-time data monitoring for motion sensing applications
- Configuring and testing FXOS8700CQ register settings
- Developing interface drivers for 6-axis sensors
