Hi Chad,

bqstudio is supposed to automatically detect the device. You are not to manually select it. Try updating your bqstudio to the latest version.

Thanks,

Adam

Adam,

May I ask if there is later version than 

1.3.101? 

Hi Chad,

1.3.101 is the latest version of bqstudio. You could be experiencing a hardware issue then since your bqstudio is up to date. Are you connecting the EV board before or after opening bqstudio?

Thanks,

Adam

Adam,

Thank you for your helps.  This version 1.3.127.3 will detect and connect to my EVM right away.

Can you please help me to point to the location where I can download the App Notes or instruction the steps to create the golden image?

I got general idea that I need to set configuration, calibaration, let the bqStudio learning about the battery, but going deep in bqStudio will take me sometime, and I am looking for for some beginner document.

Hi Adam,

I am looking for a generic chemID that will work with my battery:

Design Cap: 10000mAh

Design Voltage: 3.7V

Charger 4.2V

I don't need a very high accuracy and since we are ready for production, I don't have time luxury to do the learning cycle.

If you have know any generic one, please help to point me to the place I can download the chemID

Hi Chad,

You can use the GPCCHEM tool to get a close ChemID match which can be done in bqstudio. Here is the app note for GPCCHEM tool. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

Can you please help me to point me the correct information of how to configure the product in shipping mode?  At the moment I have BQ25895 charger, BQ27Z561 gas gauge and battery connect together.  I got mixed info to configure the system to shipping mode, and I lost.  I don't know how to put the system in the shipping mode and how to enable the battery.  Do I use the /QON from charger? Or do I send 0 to register of the gas gauge?

Any helps is very appreciated.

Hi Chad,

This link should be able to give you some info on entering and exiting Shipping Mode. You will need to turn off BATFET in order to get into ship mode. You can force BATFET to turn off by setting BATFET_DIS bit = 1.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

Thank  you for your information about the BATFET.  The link you provided to me I already read and that is where the confusion coming from.  I am really need the design reference, design guideline to connect TI's charger, TI's gas gauge and the battery that will support the shipping mode and waking up.

Adam,

Understood.  May I ask before I put my charger in the ship mode, do I need to put my gas gauge to shut down?
