The device is programmed with a default ChemID and you can reprogram it using the bqStudio program that can be downloaded from the web. You will use bqStudio during development and then you can export a golden srec (flash memory) file to program into…
The read srec from device will allow you to save a golden file in Motorola SREC format. It can be used by the TI bqProduction program to program devices in production. You can also use the HEX DUMP button on the Data Memory screen to export a hex file…

I will release a new Configuring the Data Flash document next quarter to add the parameters for the ba34z100-G1. The Going to Production document is not applicable to the -G1, because we no longer .dfi files and the new device uses bqProduction…
hi,
You will have to write code to program the gauge using your host or another controller. Follow the instructions in the app note below when writing your code.

The other alternative will be to use our tool bqproduction…
Hi Suzy,
Our applications team suggested to look at this app note: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slua801/slua801.pdf . This app note contains example code for programming to the gauge using an MCU if one is available in your system. Since this fuel gauge…
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO , BQ40Z60 , BQPRODUCTION Hello,
I'm trying to understand:
How to run Current Calibration routine with bqStudio correctly
What registers the current calibration actually changes
How do calibrate "Board…
Hi Eddie
Unfortunately, we do not have such hardware tool or software tool. Customer build their own setup for parsing the flaststream file on the device.
We have bqproduction-single cell, but that does not support this gauge.
thanks

Either adapter will work with bqStudio, but the EV2400 does not currently support bqProduction. The EV2400 is the newer adapter and it uses standard Windows drivers. The EV2300 uses driver developed by TI. We have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the drivers…
Ryan,
The bq40z60 is included in the bqProduction program that is downloaded from the web. The bq40z60 will interface to the bqMtester just like the bq40z50 and you will connect VSYS to Pack+ on the bqMtester.

The bqStudio update didn't work for me either. Finally I bought a EV2400, and now I generate "good" golden images with it. Not with the EV2300. May be it has something to do with the pull up resistors... But now that I found that the EV2400 works better…
