BQ28Z610: Having trouble getting it to charge the battery.

Part Number: BQ28Z610
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO

Hi, 

I'm having a tough time getting the fuel gauge to charge the battery. I've gone through and entered the settings in bq studio and my eval board seems to be happy enough to charge the battery, but when it comes to using it on my own board it just flags some errors, i can't seem to nail down what It might be. The errors I'm getting are FD, TDA, SOV, OTA, CUV, AOLD. 

regards,

Reuben
