6.5.2 SPI timing 
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial interface. The BNO080 implements the slave side of 
the interface for host communications. The BNO080 supports 4 wire mode and implements SPI mode 3: CPOL = 
1 and CPHA = 1. SPI mode 3 implies that the clock idles at ‘1’ and that data is clocked in on the positive edge.
