BQ40Z80EVM-020: How to use "bqStudio - Advanced Comm SMB" ?

Part Number: BQ40Z80EVM-020
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQ40Z80

Hi everyone,

I really want to know how to use "bqStudio - Advanced Comm SMB" to get the imformation from the board (bq40z80evm board).

I refer to the document of BQ40Z80 Technical Reference Manual - BQ40Z80 Technical Reference Manual (Rev. C) (ti.com), Chapter 18 - SBS Commands(Page 113).

If I want to read the "Type Device"(Page 114) of the evm board, how should I type the number into the Advanced Comm SMB?

Please tell me the process of the operation, so that I can get the imformation from the board.

Sincerely,

Eric Tsai

  • Eric,

    There are two different command types. Direct access and MAC commands. You are trying to read a MAC command. MAC require a write followed by a read. Direct are just a read. See below. 

    MAC Example (Device Type 0x001)

    Direct Example (Voltage 0x09)

    Thanks,

    Eric Vos
