bq34110: What is the best set-up for production programming / calibration

Peter Money

Part Number: BQ34110
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, EV2400, BQMTESTER, BQPRODUCTION,

Hi,

Once I have created by golden image files using bqStudio, what is the best set-up for programming devices during production?

Would I use:

1. BQStudio + EV2400 and program the srec/bqfs/dffs files

2. bqproduction + Advanced bqMtester and program the srec/bqfs/dffs files

or are there other solutions?

Also, if we managed to embed the golden image into our code and program the bq34110 over I2C during production test from our MCU, would we use the srec or bqfs or dffs file or a combination of these. What is the difference?

Finally is there any documentation detailing how to set-up for production programming?

Many thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,
The best alternative would be to embed the golden image in your code and program over i2c. For this you will use the bqfs or dffs file. The bqfs contain instruction and data flash, while the dffs contains only the data flash. If the firmware on your chips are the same as the firmware that you created your golden file from, then all you need is the dffs as there will be no reason to program the instruction flash again. This will save you some time.

Pls see attached documentation to guide your programming using the flashstream files.

Let me know if you have further questions.

thanks
