Part Number: EV2300

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi,


I need to communicate with a gaz gauge BQ34Z100 via an EV2300 device, i'm in Windows 7 64b laptop, so firstly i need to know which Driver i sould install , and secondly, because i'm develloping an application in C# , i need a C# or C++ code which could help to set and get voltage , current and temperature values, and also to generate .DFI files. this is my email address : ayoub.elgoss@gmail.com
 

Thank you.

    Ayoub,

    Here is the link to download the 64-bit drivers to support the EV2300.

    We do not have C code examples to offer, but the Going to Production With the bq34z1xx (SLUA665) has VB6 code to export and import .dfi files. You can search for it on the TI website.

    The Using I2C Communications with the bq34110 bq35100 and bq34z100-G1 Series of Gas Gauges (SLUA790) document provides a few examples of communicating with the device.

    Please review these documents to see whether they provide if information that you need.

    Thomas,

    I have another question about the communication's protocol with the BQ devices, so my question is : Can we do the same thing by using the SMBUS protocol ? i mean reading values from te BQ and writing DFI files ?

    Thank you,

    Some of the older devices supported exporting and importing .dfi or .rom format files. These would be the bq20z and some bq30z devices. The bq40z devices do not support these file formats. They use the Motorola SREC format. Which SMBus gauge are you considering?
