Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQ25798, EV2400, BQ34Z100,
Tool/software:
We have a product that incorporates a BQ76942, a BQ34Z100, and a BQ25798 charger. We are using an EV2400 to load a srec onto the Fuel Gauge and then load the default setting to the BMS using a gg.csv file. The 3 chips are all on the same I2C bus. Due to a bug in BQStudio we have to program the FG first (Auto detect to address 0xAA) then put the FG onto the HDQ bus, then program the BMS (at address 0x10). Then move the FG back onto the I2C bus. This is because BQStudio tries to find the BQ76942 at address 0xAA despite the detect being set to 0x10. This will not fly in production so I want to write my own programmer using a USB to I2C transceiver. Ideally I would like to just use the EV2400 units I already have but I have found a thread on this site that tells me that the EV2400 is a prototyping tool only and that bqcomm is not sharable.
So what hardware tool does TI support for loading the FG's srec and the BMS *.gg.csv files in production? I see a few references to the MKS-SAI-001 but that seems to be presented as a alternative to the EV2300 not the EV2400 and I don't want to order it and find out that it can't support my current chips. Some guidance would be appreciated.
