3 Quick start guide

This section describes quickly the steps to get the sensor running with an example configuration.

3.1 SensorAPI and COINES

An Application Programming Interface (API) called SensorAPI is available for BMP585. It is available as C sourcecode.

The API provides higher-level functions, for example to switch powermodes, or read and write the NVM. It is an abstraction

layer, so that the user does not have to issue individual read and write transasctions to sensor registers. The API still allows

direct low-level register access to the sensor. The Sensor API also provides some basic examples of its usage.

The SensorAPI is fully compatible with the COINES library, which provides the low-level functions for the sensorAPI. It is

included in the COINES software package. More information can be found on https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/.

4 Functional Description and Features

The BMP585 is a barometric pressure sensor that outputs to the host the absolute pressure in Pa. In addition, the absolute

temperature in °C can be provided to the host.

4.1 Block diagram

BMP585‘s key components are a pressure sensitive MEMS sensor element and an integrated circuit that drives and reads

out the sensor element. Also, it provides data and other functions to the host. The block diagram is shown in Figure 1.
