The symbol for the Bosch BNO055 differs from its datasheet.
In the symbol, pins 15 and 16 are connected to GNDIO:
In the datasheet, these are marked DNC:
Is this the right place to report this?
Is the only difference that pin 15 should be DNC, but is ground?
Because I’ve seen time and time again that the chip designers tie DNC pins to GND in their own ref designs to simplify the routing. This may work if it is not internally connected. Maybe give the ref design a look. It could be that the KiCad library people already took that into account
@RaptorUK well spotted, looks like the Kicad symbol is based on a superseded version of the datasheet.
@Mineotopia it’s pin 15 & 16. As well as the table above, the datasheet (current version) also includes reference designs where they are both DNC:

Then you are right and it is indeed a bug!
