Product details
Overview
STEVAL-MKI212V1 from STMicroelectronics is an adapter evaluation board for the ASM330LHHX 6-axis automotive inertial measurement unit (IMU), providing full DIL24 socket compatibility, complete pinout access, and pre-mounted decoupling capacitors on VDD. It enables rapid prototyping of V2X and ADAS subsystems requiring high-accuracy motion sensing with embedded machine learning core support.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-MKI212V1 datasheet, STEVAL-MKI212V1 pinout, STEVAL-MKI212V1 application, or STEVAL-MKI212V1 equivalent, this board serves as a plug-in interface to the STEVAL-MKI109D host platform or X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1 expansion board - supporting MEMS Studio GUI integration, SPI/I²C sensor configuration, and real-time motion data acquisition in automotive-grade environments.
Technical Context
The STEVAL-MKI212V1 is a passive adapter board with no active circuitry: it routes all 24 pins of the ASM330LHHX IMU to a standard dual-in-line 24-pin (DIL24) footprint, including power (VDD, VDDIO, GND), digital interfaces (SPI: CS, SCL, SDA, SDO, SDx, SCx; I²C: SCL, SDA, SDO), interrupt outputs (INT1, INT2), and configuration terminals (OCS). No voltage translation or level-shifting is implemented.
It is mechanically and electrically designed for direct insertion into the STEVAL-MKI109D evaluation platform's sensor carrier socket or the X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1's DIL24 header, maintaining signal integrity for both low-power and high-bandwidth motion sensing modes of the ASM330LHHX - including its dual operating modes (low-power and high-performance) and embedded finite-state machine (FSM) execution.
Key Specifications

FAQ
Does STEVAL-MKI212V1 include firmware or microcontroller functionality?
No. The STEVAL-MKI212V1 is a passive adapter board with no embedded processor, memory, or firmware. It provides only mechanical and electrical interfacing between the ASM330LHHX IMU and host platforms like STEVAL-MKI109D or X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1, which handle communication, data processing, and PC interface.
Can STEVAL-MKI212V1 be used standalone without a host platform?
No. It lacks power regulation, USB interface, or communication controller. Operation requires connection to a compatible host - such as STEVAL-MKI109D (with STM32 MCU bridge and MEMS Studio support) or X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1 (with Nucleo MCU and STM32Cube function packs).
What software tools are supported for configuring the ASM330LHHX via this board?
MEMS Studio (Windows GUI) is fully supported when used with STEVAL-MKI109D. For custom development, STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeIDE with X-CUBE-MEMS1 function pack provide drivers, examples, and APIs for SPI/I²C initialization, register access, FSM configuration, and machine learning core setup.
Is the STEVAL-MKI212V1 compatible with other ST IMUs besides ASM330LHHX?
No. Pinout, power sequencing, and signal routing are specific to the ASM330LHHX 24-pin QFN package. Other ST IMUs (e.g., LSM6DSOX, ISM330DHCX) use different pin counts, layouts, or voltage domains and are not mechanically or electrically compatible with this adapter.
