Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO
First, let me comment on the linked thread. I get similar behavior when programming new bq40z60 boards as is described in this closed thread from 2017.
I find that bqStudio (v1.3.54.1) hangs whenever the firmware version on the chip is different than the firmware selected by bqStudio. For me, this happens when I:
1) Attach a new board to EV2300 after having bqStudio running with a different board running newer firmware. It doesn't seem to be able to cope with the change and hangs. I have to kill it from task manager and restart.
2) When I program a golden srec into a new chip. The new srec includes changes the firmware to 4600_0_15. Since the chips appear to be pre-programmed with 4600_0_13 firmware, the firmware change also hangs bqStudio.
Question:
Do all bq40z60 chips come with 4600_0_13 fimrware?
Is 4600_0_15 the most up-to-date firmware?
What does the "Execute after programming" button do in firmware upgrading? Do we have to Execute? O can we just power cycle after programming?
Thank you,
Ryan
