In the plots below, green and purple are COMMH and COMML at the output of the base bq79606 (actually a BQ79606EVM). Yellow is a diff probe of the COMMH/COMML signals at the downstream devices.
At device 49 the waveform looks like below:
At device 50 the waveform looks like below: There is a duplicate byte sequence being sent out.
Device 51 also has the duplicate byte but Device 52 does not. We are able to see 54 out of the 61 devices.
