EV2300 and bqEasy setup

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ20Z80

Hello,

 

I just ordered the EVM starter kit, installed the software and driver.  IT detects the EV2300 when I plug it in, but when I start the software, it doesn't autodetect the board (which I believe it is supposed to) and when I select the correct chip (bq20z80 V102) it tells me that the software wasn't designed for that chip, and won't read anything from it.  I can get a more descriptive error message if needed.  The only instructions I was able to find are that for the first time using it (which this is) you should "plug" in the leads from the battery pack to the Pack+ and Pack- leads.  I tried doing that, but it seems to make no difference at all. 

I was mostly just wondering if there was a starter guide for someone who is new to this kind of work (it is a lot different than the FPGA's I am used to) with step by step instructions on how to get it running. 

Thanks,

Allen

    Hello again,

     

    It turns out that the wrong version of the software was on the CD.  The first version I downloaded was for the wrong chip, and the version on the CD was too old I am guessing.  I downloaded the latest version and it has started wroking.
