I don't found the bq78350_xxxx.srec firmware file for bq78350...
please help me
Hi David,
Thanks very much for your interest! We're in the final stages of (and very excited about) the bq78350 product release, and plan to have the firmware ("SREC") available for download via the product page shortly thereafter. The latter should happen within the next week or two.
If your need is extremely urgent, please get in touch at a-chen@ti.com.
Regards,
Allen Y Chen
Hi David (and any customers reading this), can you please get in touch with me via email below?
We hit a minor snag in the firmware web release, but will happily help you out in the meantime offline.
Thanks,

I am also interested in getting hold of the bq78350 firmware file.
We are currently on a design around the bq78350-bq76940 chipset. We have a bq76940EVM at hand and we want to evaluate it.
Do you have a preliminary firmware file for evaluation purpose (ie: usable only with the battery simulator to avoid burning down our lab...) ?
When do you expect to release the firmware?
How long after the firmware release do you expect samples of the bq78350 to be available?
Regards,
Frédéric
Hi Fred,
Thanks for reaching out directly, and here's a follow-up to your questions above.
The firmware is available now for evaluation, but our TI.com release of this is delayed as we've moved to a new system/procedure. We are happy to provide the firmware offline; any customers who are interested simply need to contact me at a-chen@ti.com and I can help them get this taken care of ASAP.
The programmed devices (samples and for production) will be available starting in mid September. In the meantime, like you mentioned above you can always buy one of the bq76920, bq76930 or bq76940 EVMs which has a blank bq78350 IC already on it, and simply install the FW on to those.
Thanks,
Allen
