BQ25730EVM: The BQ25730 charger for my BQ25730EVM is not available in the Battery Management Studio bqStudio 1.3.101

Hi Jorge,

Here is the file.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/power-management-group/power-management/f/power-management-forum/999085/bq25730evm-bqz-file 

To use it, put the file in the "config" folder of BQ Studio. Follow this path (or similar depending on where you installed BQ Studio):

C: -> ti -> "BatteryManagementStudio" -> "config". Now restart BQ Studio and you should see this option.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Peng

Thanks a lot Pengzhao, you resolved my issue.

However, in order to be able to see the Charger_1_00-bq2573x.bqz once you select the "Charger" option from the Supported Targets it is important to rename the file to Charger_1_00-bq2573x.bqz instead of 5187.Charger_1_00-bq2573x.bqz, 5187 before opening BQ Studio, otherwise it will only become listed if you choose the "All" option from that initial menu.

Thanks,

Jorge

Hi Jorge,

At this point it should be fairly straight forward to be able to communicate with the EVM. Do you have an suitable input supply or battery connected?

Another thing to try is:

1. power off the EVM and disconnect the EV2400 from it and your computer. Close BQstudio
2. Connect EV2400 to EVM.
3. Power up EVM (battery or Vbus)
4. Connect EV2400 to computer.
5. Open BQstudio and try again. Use the default setting (Update mode = immediate) and try to read register again.

Thanks,

Peng

Thank you Pengzhao. It is working now.

The problem was that I did not read the instructions and connected to the wrong port (I just looked at the figure 2-1 of the EVM module guide and connected to SMB PORT 1 by mistake instead of I2C PORT 2).

Thanks a lot!
