Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ79616
Hello TI Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently in the early stages of testing a Battery Management System (BMS) that utilizes the TI BQ79616 IC. I have successfully designed and assembled the hardware, and now I am looking for guidance on the initial hardware testing process before moving on to software implementation.
Here are the specific queries I have:
-
Hardware Testing: a. What are the recommended procedures for the initial hardware testing of a BMS with the BQ79616 IC? b. Are there specific voltages, signals, or parameters I should monitor during the initial power-up to ensure the hardware's integrity?
-
Software Implementation: a. Where can I find the necessary software tools or firmware for the BQ79616 IC? b. What is the process for uploading the test software onto the BMS?
-
Post-Software Implementation: a. After uploading the test software, what are the key functionalities or features I should focus on to verify the BMS's performance? b. Are there any debugging steps or common issues that typically arise during this phase?
I appreciate any insights or guidance you can provide, especially from those who have experience with the BQ79616 IC or similar BMS designs. Your assistance will be invaluable as I work towards a successful implementation and testing phase.
Also, Is Test Software Alone Sufficient?
Thank you for your time and expertise.
