Hi, i would like to know if there is a way to program a .srec file into a bq34z100 without the use of the EV2400, i would like to use a microcontroller to do it for example. Thanks.

Hi,

You can flash the gm.fs over i2c, it has the same information as the .srec.

Thanks! How can i get this gm.fs using bqstudio? And is just a normal I2C transaction? Do i need to do something else?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

If you go to the golden image tab in BQstudio. On that tab you will be able to generate the bq.fs. This is equivalent to the gm.fs for this device, my mistake gm.fs is the format for newer devices.
