Assembly and Connection

The steps below use the RDK X5 as an example. When connecting to other boards, align the 40-pin header correctly—do not reverse the connection.

  1. Align the 2×7 pins on the IMU core board with the 2×7 socket on the carrier board and insert vertically.
  2. Align the 40-pin socket on the carrier board with the 40-pin header on the development board and insert vertically to complete the connection.

RDK IMU installation and connection

To keep the IMU module rigidly attached to the board, you can build a custom support structure. The figure below shows mounting with seven M2.5×11 standoffs and M2.5 screws.
