BQ76PL455A-Q1: GUI App for EV baord - LabVIEW drivers or UART API?

Dana Deel

Part Number: BQ76PL455A-Q1

I have the Eval board, special cable and the GUI app. I have replaced the Eval board with my intended development target, the BQ76PL455A-Q1 chip integrated into a PCBA. 

I have a system setup and everything works fine with the GUI. I can easily configure, control, monitor and log anything on my target using this panel, but only using a manual method. I'd like to automate this using LabVIEW (or other) if possible.

I noticed in your user guide: "sluuba7a.pdf" you mention a command/response test flow from the GUI to the target.

Can I obtain this C/R API for the function calls, comm session-establishment steps, data acquisition steps, etc.. from the target? (we're buying many of these targets BTW)

I'm building a larger system that will test multiple targets and it would be impractical to do this manually through the GUI unless there is something I'm missing with this app.

Thank you,

    Can anyone answer this question above please?

    I am working to create a test system to test the BQ76PL455A-Q1 boards and would like to know if the problem above can be resolved.

    Thank you,

    Hi Dana,

    Glad to hear that you have things working relatively well. Unfortunately, I am not able to give out the source code for the GUI. It is possible to log data from the GUI into a text file, but it seems that you are already past that point and as you mentioned, it is not automated.

    I will admit that I am not the most knowledgeable person with regards to software, but it may be possible to put together something in Python (or similar) to parse the data coming in from the stacked devices. If you are using the USB-FTDI cable, I believe that there is an API that exists to do this.
