Arduino or MSP430 code for reading Bq34Z100 Chip data?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ34Z100

I would like to read the battery data from the Bq34z100 chip via I2C communication from either an arduino or a MSP430 board. 

Is there any working library already created that would allow me to easily pull the basic SOC, battery capacity, temp, and time remaining data from the Bq34Z100 into a Arduino or MSP430 board so I can display it on a LCD screen? 

I see there are fuel gauge boost packs for the MSP430 boards but not specifically for the Bq34z100. 

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

    You can download the FlashStream program from this website. It has some information on interfacing with the MSP430. The program was developed for another device, but the information is applicable to the bq34100.

    What's the password for the file you posted? I am also looking for some example code for some sort of uProcessor to gide me.

    Also. I have a USB -> I2C converter, would this be supported using TI software!?
