bq27510-G3 Ref. Manual does not match bqstudio GUI

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQ27510-G3, BQEVSW

Refer to sluua97  page 35 which describes Op Config register. Bit locations labeled  GPOUT_POL, GROUP_INT and BAT_FN have different names in the bqstudio GUI where they are called SOCI_POL, BATG_POL and BATL_POL. 

Are these equivalent in function and purpose?

Another discrepancy is in the App Status. In the ref manual we have UNSUPBAT and in the GUI its RSVD!

Are there other discrepancies between the Ref manual doc and the bqsudio software?

Perhaps the reference manual is out of date, the one I am using is SLUUA97 October 2014

    Hi Gerry,

    you are either using an older bqstudio or using a chip with an older firmware. Download the latest bqstudio from the product folder on ti.com and make sure your chips are programmed with the latest G3- v400 firmware obtainable from the link below.

    thanks

    Onyx,

    I have bqstudio Ver 1.3.42 which you indicated on a previous post was the latest.

    I also have a bq27510-G3 with Ver 4.00 firmware. When bqstudio starts up it autodetects the type of pack that is connected to the EV2300 as bq27510G3 V4.00 (Dev 510,Ver 5.00)-510_4_00 . The FW_VERSION indicates 0400. The device name in the Data class shows bq27510-G3.

     

    Oddly enough when I run the old bqEVSW Ver 0.9.92 the labels for the previously mentioned fields are correct. They match the reference manual.

     

    Did some more digging and found where the problem could be.

     

    Look at support files for bqstudio. Inside the file 0510_4_00-bq27510G3.sbsx which is inside 0510_4_00-bq27510G3.bqz file.

     

     

    <fields>
                <bit0>TEMPS</bit0>
                <bit1>BATL_POL</bit1>  <- expected BAT_FN
                <bit2>BATG_POL</bit2>  <- expected GPOUT_INT
                <bit3>SOCI_POL</bit3>   <- expected GPOUT_POL
                <bit4>RMFCC</bit4>
                <bit5>SLEEP</bit5>
                <bit6>IDSELEN</bit6>

    Would it be OK if I edit this file to put in the correct names or is there more to fixing this issue?

    Gerry,

    That is extremely strange because when i checked my own bqstudio version, version 1.3.40, those parameters where correct. pls replace the bqz for the 510 using the one attached lets see if this fixes the problem. i want to know if the new bqstudio ie v .1.342 has the wrong bqz.

    thanks

    Onyx,

    I downloaded the file and it has the same issue. I think the V1.3.42 has this error in the 0510_4_00-bq27510G3.bqz file as I described in the previous post!
