ERROR message "Target Not in Rom Mode"

This is a procedure that was recorded last year and has been done before.  It looks like the Texas Instruments SLUA541A document 2011 revision corroborates our steps.  What step is being left out?

Our production line has stopped as a result of this, please help with a solution as soon as possible.

    • Hi,
    • When Open the EV software, the gauge should be recognized automatically. Could you kindly check the connection of the gauge?
    • BQ27510G3 is also supported in bqstudio, you can try to use bqstudio to see if it works.

  • All steps to detect and talk to the gauge are without issue except the I2C Pro programming step.

    The gauges are able to be programmed with one of our computers, but not the other.

    What compatibilities are necessary to program that are not necessary for any other process?

    Processes that are able to performed without issue on both computers:

    • read DataRAM
    • Read Data Flash
    • Write I2C data blcok
