I am currently building the Navigator using a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4).

While going through the BOM, I noticed that the ICM-20602 IMU is classified as NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) by the manufacturer.

Do you have a recommended replacement that is supported by BlueOS?

Hi @RogerA,

There are a few different sensors on the Navigator that have become EoL, which we’re working to include replacements for in a hardware revision.

Software/firmware-wise we’ve already added support for the new sensors in ArduPilot 4.7 (which was recently made stable), and BlueOS 1.4.4 (which is expected to become stable next week).

The sensors in question are:

| Sensor type | Original | Replacement | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Barometer | BMP280 | [BMP390](https://bluerobotics.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BMP390-DATASHEET.pdf) | This one was added a year ago |
| Compass | AK09915 | IIS2MDC | |
| IMU | ICM-20602 | LSM6DSV | |
