 The DMP firmware is loaded into the ICM-20948's processor memory space via three special Bank 0 registers:
 - **AGB0_REG_MEM_START_ADDR** (0x7C) - the address which AGB0_REG_MEM_R_W reads from or writes to (it auto-increments after each read or write)
 - **AGB0_REG_MEM_R_W** (0x7D) - the memory read/write register
 - **AGB0_REG_MEM_BANK_SEL** (0x7E) - the memory bank select. The complete read/write address is: (AGB0_REG_MEM_BANK_SEL * 256) + AGB0_REG_MEM_START_ADDR

 **AGB0_REG_MEM_BANK_SEL** during the writing.
 
 Before the DMP is enabled, the 16-bit register **AGB2_REG_PRGM_START_ADDRH** (Bank 2, 0x50) needs to be loaded with the program start address. ```setDMPstartAddress``` does this for you.

-## The DMP examples are verbose. Is that deliberate?
-
-Yes, it certainly is! As you can tell from the examples, we are still gaining experience with the DMP. We have _deliberately_ written the examples so you can follow each step as the DMP is configured.
-
-At some point in the future, we may hide the DMP configuration in a separate function. But, for now, you get to see the full configuration, warts and all!
+## What changes did you make in v1.2.5?
+
+In v1.2.5 we added some critical missing configuration steps:
+- We use I2C_SLV0 and I2C_SLV1 to request the magnetometer data and trigger the next Single Measurement. We no longer use the 100Hz continuous mode for the DMP
+- We now read ten bytes of data from the magnetometer, starting at register 0x03; instead of reading nine bytes, starting at register 0x10
+ - Register 0x03 is reserved and the other nine registers are undocumented. They appear to contain the raw magnetometer reading in big-endian format (instead of little-endian)
+ - We had to dig deep into InvenSense's Icm20948AuxCompassAkm.c to find this out...
+- We configure the I2C Master ODR which reduces the magnetometer read rate from a silly 1100Hz to a sensible 69Hz
+ - We had to monitor the Aux I2C pins and study the AK09916 traffic to figure this out...
+
+The DMP configuration code was becoming so verbose that we decided to move it into its own function called ```initializeDMP```. This is a weak function which you can overwrite
+e.g. if you want to change the sample rate
+(see [Example10](https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_ICM-20948_ArduinoLibrary/blob/master/examples/Arduino/Example10_DMP_FastMultipleSensors/Example10_DMP_FastMultipleSensors.ino) for details).

+you need to do manually are: select which DMP sensors to enable; reset and start both FIFO and DMP. Please see the revised DMP examples for more details.
