Figure 1-6: BNO080 pin descriptions 
The BNO080 can operate from an internal oscillator, an external 32.768 kHz clock or an external 32.768 kHz 
crystal. If an external clock is used it must be connected to pin 27. Hillcrest recommends a tolerance of 50ppm. If 
a crystal is used it must be connected across pins 26 and 27. Hillcrest recommends using a crystal with tolerance 
50ppm with 22pF capacitor loading.
