BQ27542-G1: Working with EV2400 and BQ27542

Part Number: BQ27542-G1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQEVSW, EV2400

Hi,

After reading forums, I learned that there are few kinds of software for working with BQ27XXX ICs. So my question is going to be very silly but here it goes  - What software needs to be used with EV2400 for BQ27542? Is it BQStudio or BQEVSW or bqEASY or something else ?". Also, what do each of these tools do?

Is there any documentation explaining how to use EV2400 with BQ27542 chip which i missed to read ?. I went through the user guide of EV2400 but it did not mention the SW tool. Only EV2400 firmware update was described using Bqstudio.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Prajwal

    Hi Prajwal,

    For bqEVSW and bqstudio, they all support EV2300 and EV2400.

    BQEVSW is an old tool to do some battery test, like chemID, self-learning cycle, golden image file prodution, and bqstudio is a new tool.

    About how to use the EV2400 with EVM, you can refer to the EVM guide of gauge, it gives the hardware connection with EV2400.

    Best regards,

    Sammi

    Hi Sammi,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Well we did not buy the EVM so i missed out to read that EVM docs. Thank for suggesting. I found the details now as per your guidance.

    Does this mean that i can just work with BQstudio tool and do all my register checks, golden file generation as well as gas guage programming ? or do i need any other tool ?

    Also, what is BQeasy used for ?

    regards,

    Prajwal,

    Yes, you can use the BQstudio for register checks, golden files and programming. Large scale programing might require your own automation code.

    BQeasy is used to program gauges but is now outdated and should not be used.
