MPU6050/MPU6500/MPU9150/MPU9250 over I2c for RaspberryPi using official Invensense libraries (v5.1): http://www.invensense.com/developers/index.php?_r=downloads
This is a sample program for testing your MPU Motion Sensor with Rasperry Pi. It does all the initialization and gathers:
and calculates Yaw, Pitch, Roll in degrees which in turn is displayed as an output.
Wiring I2C uses only2 wires for data transmission: SCL and SDA RPi pin 3 -> MPU SDA RPi pin 5 -> MPU SCL
You will also need to provide power (3.3V) to your MPU. You can use external power or hook it up with RPi. For example: RPi pin 1 (3.3V) -> MPU VCC RPi pin 6 (Ground) -> MPU GND
Compilation: On RPi, edit MotionSensor/Makefile and adjust CXX_OPTS to specify your board (-DMPU6050 for MPU6050, -DMPU9150 for MPU9150), issue make
Cross compiling: Edit all Makefiles in all directories and adjust CXX. Issue make
Running: make sure you have i2c_dev module loaded (modprobe i2c_dev) run mstest

....
Additional info: Current setup is to run at 40Hz, this can be adjusted in the ms_open function, however note that your code will need to read the values with respective speed or quicker. Otherwise the MPU fifo buffer will overflown.
To read MPU see ms_update - it calls 'dmp read fifo' in a while loop. This means that if fifo is empty this will stall until a packet is available.
