Hi,

How to generate *.bq.fs & *.df.fs files for factory programming. We have golden config in the form of .srec format.

Is there any flashing method other than via BQSTUDIO and MSP430 programmer, that we can use in the factory?

Regards.

Hello Abhijith,

You should be able to find the information you need on our FAQ page for BQ40Z50: https://e2e.ti.com/support/power-management-group/power-management/f/power-management-forum/1106884/faq-bq40z50-faqs

See the FAQ about TI flash stream format and the application note named "Gauge Communication"

App note here: https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slua801

You can export the flash stream by going to the firmware tab and selecting bq.fs instead of srec file. It is a dropdown when you select the "browse" button.

Sincerely,

Wyatt Keller
