BQ28Z610: fw Revision A

Maurizio Bonelli

Part Number: BQ28Z610

Hello,

I have downloaded the FW Rev A of BQ28z610 (not the -R1 version), file sluc653a, and surprise: when I checked the unzip there is "bq28z610R1FirmwareBundle-1.01"

Now, I have a couple of doubts: would anyone explain me, please?

I have understood the -R1 is an advanced HW version of original BQ28Z610, haven't I?
Then I am wondering if the FW for -R1 can be upload to non-R1 versions (I mean the current BQ28Z610)

Thanks in advance for replies.....

Hi Maurizio,

The bq28z610-R1 firmware cannot be used in the non-R1 bq28z610 devices because bq28z610-R1 and bq28z610 are based on slightly different hardware platforms. You can only download the bq28z610-R1 firmware to a bq28z610-R1 device.

Hello Andy,

honestly, I have guessed that!!!!

Then, someone has to explain me why that firmware version is in the page of the BQ28Z610 (not the R1 version!)

Thanks.

Hello Maruizio,

I have notified the digital marketing team and our marketing team. We'll try to get this sorted out.

Hello Kang,

curiosity killed the cat, but what about this, found in the -R1 release note?

===================================
bq28z610-R1 v1.01 (build 29)
===================================
1) Identical to bq28z610 v0.22 (build 28), except for updated version number.

Thanks

Maurizio

Hi Maurizio,

As I mentioned before, bq28z610-R1 and bq28z610 are based on slightly different hardware platforms. That's the reason why the -R1 firmware cannot be used for bq28z610. Please follow our suggestion.

The non-R1 firmware is still not available on the product page. Is there a link anywhere I can use?

Hi Richard,

We will work with digital marketing to get the non-R1 FW added to the product page. Please connect with me over E2E and we might be able to share it via direct message. Zip file of the 0.22 FW would be too big to share via email.

Thanks,

Rushi
