    Hello Jbeli,

    I would recommend going through a quick internet search such as Google to see what has already been done.

    TI does not produce and support and embedded driver as discussed in the this forum post about the same topic.

    Hello,

    I am not sure I understand what you are asking help with. Are you saying that you have programmed the device but it is not operating correctly?

    Have you reviewed the GUI that is available for the EVM? This can help you quickly identify which registers you want to have set for your charging characteristics and which bits you need to control to enable and disable charging.

    Also have you had a chance to look at some of the open source code that others have used for this device?

    Hello,

    If you look on Pg. 26 of the datasheet it discusses how to request the contents of any of the control registers. Once you have this this register information you could AND the pulled register contents to isolate the bits you are interested in.
