BQ41Z50: PBQ41Z50RSNT versus BQ41Z50RSNR

Part Number: BQ41Z50

Tool/software:

Hello everyone, 

Today we wish perform our technical qualification but it's difficult to have BQ41Z50 in production state. And we had two "problems" with the reference PBQ41Z50RSNT:

  • The components we received in February are " blank ". They have no firmware. We had to launch BQ Studio by forcing the choice of BMS and program with file: bq41z50_v0_01_build_12.sig.enc.bq.fs.
    • It’s not a “popular use case”. This does not allow the proper functionality of the BQ to be checked before programming.
    • In addition, our EMS will not use BQ Studio in its production line

  •  Programming with the latest firmware (Build21) is difficult/impossible. After a programming test, the component no longer works properly, and it is impossible to program it again.
    • Does the PBQ41Z50RSNT accept Build21 with RTC/ Modification for GPIO?
    • And/Or, does a PBQ41Z50RSNT programmed with the Build12 not accept to have a version 21?
