BQ35100EVM-795: conflicting bq35100 .fs file description

Part Number: BQ35100EVM-795

Tool/software:

Hello, 

https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slua801/slua801.pdf?ts=1718397001234

section 5
describes the .df.fs file as configuration,   the .bq.fs as firmware+configuration 

This is in conflict with 

the bq35100evm description section 3.7.1:

The .srec file contains the full flash memory. The .bq.fs contains the program memory portion for the flash memory and the .df.fs contains the data flash portion of the flash memory,


What is it? 


Been running with the assumption bq.fs. is firmware. df.fs is non-firmware (config data)...though I'm not certain this assumption is correct anymore.


  • Hello Craig,

    srec file and bq.fs are the same, they contain both instruction flash (firmware) and data flash. The difference is how the files are formatted.

    The df.fs contains just data flash.

    Regards,
