Hello! We have our board based on BQ76PL536A-Q1, but cant connect to device using the "bq76PL536 Evaluation software" using our adapter "USBasp" - its a simple usb-spi programmer. So, is it really necessary to use only AADVARK SPI adapter, or, any other usb-spi adapter is possible to use with this device?

I am sorry but TI Pl536A gui only works with Aadvark. You can also find the user's guide in the bq76pl536A product folder as well.

Another option is use MSP430.

We have application notes and sample code.

GUI only works with Aarvark,
