Tool/software:

Hello,

I am trying to download a SENC file to a gas gauge chip (bq20z655-R1) using the SDK (BQ-BATTERY-PROGRAMMER-SW). However, an error shows up:

Enabling pullups, option_enablePullups=1
Setting communication mode to I2C
Record does not start with 'S' - Error parsing line 1
File appears to be in .SENC format
Error: ProcessSrecLine() Failed with code 553
Program CommandLineProgrammers\Prog20zx.exe returned 553
Error: Unable to obtain error code description. Failed to open description file errDesc.xml

Do you know if the SENC extension is supported? How can I fix this?

Current setup:

chip = bq20z655

controller = MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 MKS

software = Python_API

command line programmer = Prog20zx.exe

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Please install the attached package installer for bq20z655-R1. It should have the senc file.

Hello Jose,

Thanks for the replay!

I think I did not specify that the SENC file was shared by a customer , my goal is only to flashing the gas gauge by the command line tool to automate this process. Here you have the command which was issued:

Is there somehting missing?

Please advise

Best,
