BQ27421-G1: BQ27421-G1A: the warning messages in bqStudio

Part Number: BQ27421-G1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO,

About the TI BQ27421-G1A gauge IC on the PCB.A, we generated the golden image (*.gm.fs) based on the *.gg file with bqStudio.

1) When we import the *.gg file, the bqStudio displayed the warning messages in 2 dialog boxes.

1-1) Are the warning messages in the 2 dialog boxes OK?
1-1-1) Can we ignore the warning messages in the 2 dialog boxes and generate the golden image?

1-2) About the content of the *.gg file, please refer as follows:

Thank you.

  • We found the root cause for the warning messages.

    1) In the TI document "User's Guide SLUUA63A – April 2013 – Revised July 2016"
    1-1) In the page-12, it said:
    The Import button in the Data Memory window can be clicked in order to import an entire configuration from a specified *.gg.csv file.
    Save the configuration to a file by clicking the Export button in the Data Memory window and entering a
    file name. The configuration is saved to a *.gg.csv file. The module calibration data is also held in the
    bq27421 data memory. If the Gauge Dashboard is not displaying any information, then the bq27421 may
    not be supported by the bqStudio version being used, a bqStudio upgrade may be required.

    1-2) So, the bqStudio should import the *.gg.csv file, not the *.gg file.

    2) Because we only have the *.gg file, could you tell us how to convert the *.gg file to *.gg.csv file for bqStudio?

    Thank you.
  • We found the descriptions in the TI document (SLUUBC9), in the Chapter 2.3 Gauge Configuration (GG) File.
    And it said:
    >> GG files are commonly exported by the EV Software (*.gg) or by bqStudio (*.gg.cvs). You can use either
    >> format, depending if the gauging IC you are using is an older one supported by EV Software or a newer
    >> one supported by bqStudio.
    >> To create the GG file for the tool, please follow these steps:
    >> 1. Program chosen chem
    >> 2. Export <name>.gg file or <name>gg.csv file
    >> 3. Rename the file regardless of format to gg.csv

    1) About the BQ27421-G1A + bqStduio, should the bqStudio import *.gg.csv file?

    2) About the BQ27421-G1A + bqStudio, is the "1. Program chosen chem ID" step above necessary?

    Thank you.
  • We already found that the *.gg file is for GaugeStudio and *.gg.csv file is for bqStudio from TI document.

    Could you tell us your comment for the following question?
    >> 2) About the BQ27421-G1A + bqStudio, is the "1. Program chosen chem ID" step above necessary?


    Thank you very much.
  • You don't need to program the ChemID (it's fixed for the bq27421).

    If you have a configuration (.gg) file for GaugeStudio for the bq27421 and you want to convert this to a file that is compatible with bqStudio (.gg.csv) then you can connect the bq27421 EVM to the PC, launch GaugeStudio, load the .gg file, close GaugeStudio, launch bqStudio and export the .gg.csv file from the Data Memory view. The bq27421 will keep the settings that were programmed with GaugeStudio when you close this application on the PC therefore reading back the data memory with bqStudio will produce a .gg.csv file that matches the .gg file.
  • Thank you for your kind support.

    1) We tried to import a *.gg.csv file with bqStudio (version 1.3.54).
    In order to generate the golden image (*.gm.fs file).
    1-1) About the parameters
    1-1-1) The Load Select/Mode parameter
    1-1-1-1) In *.gg.csv file, it is set to 0x01 : it is correct for our product.
    1-1-1-2) In the golden image generated by bqStudio in our site, it is set to 0x81 : it is wrong for our product.

    1-1-2) The other parameter(s) have the same problem.

    1-2) Because the parameter in *.gg.csv is correct, it seems that the configuration of bqStudio in our site are
    incorrect for the BQ27421-G1A.
    So, the parameters in the golden image generated by bqStudio in our site are incorrect.

    1-2-1) In the bqStudio, click "Window" menu and click "Preferences" sub-menu,
    the "Preferences" dialog box is popped up.
    1-2-1-1) We find many configuration of bqStudio in this dialog box.

    1-3) The number of parameters in golden image generated in bqStudio are more than 500.

    2) Could you send us the configuration of bqStudio for BQ27421-G1A (firmware version v1.09)?
    2-1) So, we can load the configuration into bqStudio in our site.

    Thank you.
  • Please attach the .gg.csv file that you want to convert to a .gm.fs file.
  • Thank you for your kind support.

  • 1) About the problem when we converted the *.gg.csv file to golden image (*.gm.fs file) by bqStudio
    1-1) About the parameters
    1-1-1) The Load Select/Mode parameter
    1-1-1-1) In *.gg.csv file, it is set to 0x01 : it is correct for our product.
    1-1-1-2) In the golden image generated by bqStudio in our site, it is set to 0x81 : it is wrong for our product.

    1-1-2) The other parameter(s) have the same problem.

    2) We tried to modify the configuration of bqStudio.
    2-1) Could you tell us how to change the configuration of bqStudio to fix the problem in 1)?

    Thank you.
  • Your design capacity is 9300mAh but the design energy is only 4960mWh. Design energy is defined as nominal voltage (3.6) * design capacity. Please confirm the correct design capacity number.

  • Thank you for your kind support.

    1) About the Design Energy parameter in the *.gg.csv file
    1-1) In the Quickstart Guide for bq27421-G1 (document NO#: SLUUAH7B ), Chapter 4 Programming the Configuration, it said:
    >> Design Energy is used when the gauge is operating in constant-power model.

    1-2) In the *.gg.csv file, the "Load Select/Mode" parameter is set to 0x01 (Constant current mode)
    1-2-1) According to the bq27421-G1 Technical Reference ( SLUUAC5C), Chapter 6.4.2.3.4 Load Select, Load Mode, it said:
    >> When Load Mode is 0, the Constant Current Model is used.

    1-3) About the battery specification
    1-3-1) The Minimum Capacity : 9300 mAh
    1-3-2) The Typical Capacity : 9600 mAh
    1-3-3) Charging Voltage : Max. 4.20V ± 0.05V (At 0 ºC ~ 45 ºC)

    Q1-4) If the gauge is configured to Constant-current model in the *.gg.csv file,
    is it OK to set "Design Energy" to 4960 mWh in the *.gg.csv file?

    2) We tried to modify the configuration of bqStudio to import the *.gg.csv file.
    2-1) And some parameters were changed by the configuration of bqStudio.
    2-1-1) For example:
    click Windows menu of bqStudio, click Preferences sub-menu,
    click Data Memory option, click Import.
    Clear the content of the "Class Names ti be Preserved" field to be empty.
    Then, the "Pack V Offset" will be 1 (imported from *.gg.csv file).

    2-2) It seems that the bqStudio loads the *.gg.csv file according to the configuration of bqStudio.
    Q2-2-1) Could you tell us how to change the configuration of bqStudio to fix the problem in 1)?

    Have a nice day.
  • >please confirm the correct design capacity number.

    The main problem with your configuration is that Design Capacity exceeds the maximum spec for the bq27421. See Table 6-3 in the TRM www.ti.com/.../sluuac5c.pdf.

    If you import a gg file in bqStudio with a Design Capacity of 9300mAh, bqStudio will stop writing data memory when it returns an error for Design Capacity. Therefore other parameters like the load mode won't be updated correctly.
  • Thank you very much.
    We got it.

    Please do us a favor to close this case.
