Subject of the issue

Running the example 1 code does not work. Upon testing I have found the issue to be in the begin() method. It runs up until it reaches the final return point where it is supposed to return _init().

Your workbench

What development board or microcontroller are you using?
ESP32-WROOM-32E
What version of hardware or breakout board are you using?
How is the breakout board to your microcontroller?
The microcontroller is connected to my laptop via a micro-USB cable and the ESP32 Tester V1.1
How is everything being powered? *Power is supplied via the USB cable
Are there any additional details that may help us help you?
The BNO is soldered to a custom made PCB with all the necessary capacitors and resistors as specified in the BNO's datasheet for I2C communication.
The BNO085 is connected to an I2C bus along with a number of other device. Communicating with these devices doesn't pose any problems

Steps to reproduce

Tell us how to reproduce this issue. Please post stripped down example code demonstrating your issue. I attempted to get the BNO working using example 1. I changed the pin numbers and the I2C address to match the connections on the PCB the BNO is on.

define BNO08X_INT 27

define BNO08X_RST 12

define BNO08X_ADDR 0x4A // Alternate address if ADR jumper is closed

Expected behavior

The Rotation vector example should execute

Actual behavior

The program halts at the return _init() line of begin().

/*
  Using the BNO08x IMU

  This example shows how to output the i/j/k/real parts of the rotation vector.

  Also, utilizing code from the Adafruit BNO08x Arduino Library by Bryan Siepert
  for Adafruit Industries. Found here:

  Also, utilizing I2C and SPI read/write functions and code from the Adafruit
  BusIO library found here:

  Hardware Connections:
  IoT RedBoard --> BNO08x
  QWIIC --> QWIIC
  A4  --> INT
  A5  --> RST

  BNO08x "mode" jumpers set for I2C (default):
  PSO: OPEN
  PS1: OPEN

  Serial.print it out at 115200 baud to serial monitor.
