BQ34Z100: Incompatibility of BQ studio Rev 1.3.86 with older gg.csv files

BatMan

Part Number: BQ34Z100
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO

The new BQ studio rev 1.3.86 has renamed a few parameters such that previous gg.csv files are not fully importable into "Data Memory".

What is worse is that the output of the GPC Tool is also incompatible.

Here is the error I get.

Can you share with me your gg file?

I would suggest you create a new gg file in the latest bqStudio and copy the settings from your previous gg file manually.

I can do that but all you have to do is take and old gg file and try to import into the new release.

The names are clearly different. For now I will manage this manually but your engineers should know this difference.

HERE IS REV 1.3.54.1

HERE IS REV 1.3.86

The major differences are that some configuraion names are slightly different.

Here is a gg file I just dumped using the latest bqStudio this morning. You can use a file comparison tool to find out the differences and make changes in the old gg file directly.

You have confirmed what I know thanks.

The problem is that your GPC Tool output "out_gg.csv" file is not compatible anymore with the new version.
