Bosch Sensortec Environmental Cluster (BSEC) Software v2.5.0.2 released on December, 18th 2023
The BSEC fusion library has been conceptualized to provide a higher-level signal processing and fusion for the BME688. The library receives compensated sensor values from the sensor API. It processes the BME688 signals to provide the requested sensor outputs.

Advantages
The BSEC software is only available for download or use after accepting the software license agreement. By using this library, you have agreed to the terms of the license agreement.
As of this publication, the latest Arduino IDE 1.8.19 can be downloaded from this link
Download Bosch_BSEC2_Library and Bosch_BME68x_Library (this library is a dependency to the BSEC2 library) as a zip and import it into the Arduino IDE. Refer to this guide on how to import libraries.
Open File->Preferences->Settings
Insert the following link into the "Additional Boards Manager URLs":
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
Note: Please ensure that the proxy settings are updated under File->Preferences->Network
Go to Tools->Board->Boards Manager and search for "esp32"
Install the esp32 package
Start or restart the Arduino IDE. Open any of the example codes found under Bosch_BSEC2_Library>examples
.
Select your board and COM port. Upload the example. Open the Serial monitor. You should see an output on the terminal.
basic.ino: This is an example for illustrating the basic BSEC virtual outputs.
basic_config_state.ino: This is an example for illustrating the BSEC feature using desired configuration setting.
bme68x_demo_sample.ino: This demonstrator application running on an x8 board has the feature of sensor data logging and BSEC algorithm illustration. Please refer BME688 Development Kit-Firmware-Quick-Start-Guide for installing dependent libraries and how to flash.
Note: Please ensure to use the bsec_interface_multi.h header file specifically, for demonstrating the multi instance feature
