Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ78350, EV2400
Hi Team
Currently, I am planning to connect the SMBUS of BQ78350-R1 on I2C bus of my microcontroller. May I know if SMBUS and I2C are actually interchangeable? I do have other I2C device that connect on this I2C bus, does it affect the SMBUS of BQ78350-R1?
Besides this, I would like to verify the SMBUS driver that I have written, is the demo board of BQ78350-R1 can communicate with the microcontroller via SMBUS straightaway out from the box? Do I need to flash in any firmware for it? I do not have the EV2300 which allows this board communicate with PC and thus, cannot flash in any firmware.
Thanks in advance for your help on this matter.
