The EVMs are programmed with the v0.13 firmware. Did you press the WAKE UP button after applying power. Using the Quick Start section in the EVM User's Guide will be the best way to get started.

I am visiting bms university and learning a lot but for bq40z60 and how to configure bqstudio with bq40z60 using ev2400, I did not find any help.
I need help for the initial steps to start with evm and bq studio , can i connect 3s battery pack and apply power as given in user guide without doing any change on evm board and bq studio and if I do any mistake the evm may damage and I have to again wait for 4 months to get it...
