# Sensor usage

Accelerometer/Gyroscope sensors are enabled by default. GPIO\_164 to GPIO\_167 are the
        supported GPIOs for Accelerometer/Gyroscope if using serial peripheral interface (SPI).

| Sensor type | Interface | Sensor core GPIOs | Interrupt GPIO | Maximum supported<br><br>sample rate (in Hz) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Accelerometer/Gyroscope | SPI | SSC\_4-7 | GPIO\_112/ GPIO\_113 | 1000 Hz |
| Accelerometer/Gyroscope | I3C | SSC\_0-1 | GPIO\_112/ GPIO\_113 | 1000 Hz |
|  |  |  |  |  |

Note: Ensure that I3C is validated if it is selected.

| GPIO | Sensor core GPIO | Sensor core QUP | Interface | Sensors connected |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| GPIO\_160- GPIO\_161 | SSC\_0-1 | 0 | I3C | Not used<br><br><br>                            <br>(reserved for I3C config of Accelerometer/Gyroscope) |
| GPIO\_164- GPIO\_167 | SSC\_4-7 | 2 | SPI | Accelerometer/Gyroscope |
| GPIO\_170- GPIO\_171 | SSC\_10-11 | 4 | I2C | Not used (reserved for I2C sensors) |
