BQ76942EVM: External SPI MISO stuck low

Part Number: BQ76942EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO,

I have a BQ76942EVM and I am trying to talk to it using external SPI.  I can connect using BQStudio, change the configuration to SPI, relaunch BQStudio, and it connects using the SPI protocol.  When I try and connect using external SPI via J18, MISO is always low.  I have 36 volts applied across the cells, I have verified REG1 to be 3.3, REG18 is 1.8.

For BQStudio:

J7 is connected 

J10 is connected on pins 1-2

J12 is connected on pins 1-2

J15 is connected on pins 1-2

For External I change the jumpers as follows (no power cycle of the EVM):

J7 is remains connected 

J10 is connected on pins 2-3

J12 is connected on pins 2-3

J15 is connected on pins 2-3

 

I have tried various combinations but bets I can tell, what is above should work.  Thanks for any help you can provide.
