IMU support and alternate IMU ICs (Bosch bmi160?)

I was curious if alternate IMU devices could be easily made compatible. The MPU-9250 seems to have limited stock at some distributors. Would something like the Bosch bmi160 be a decent substitute?

According to the last FW datatypes, here are the supported IMUs for now :

typedef enum {

IMU_TYPE_OFF = 0,

IMU_TYPE_INTERNAL,

IMU_TYPE_EXTERNAL_MPU9X50,

IMU_TYPE_EXTERNAL_ICM20948,

IMU_TYPE_EXTERNAL_BMI160

} IMU_TYPE;
