bq77908 bq77910 Evaluation 2.3 program vs bq77908 bq77910 Programmer V1.20 Program

Hello,

 We are trying to upgrade a really old Windows XP laptop to a Windows 10 computer down on the shop floor that has these two programs installed screenshot below:

 

Our question is can the program on the left program a bq77910 the same way that the program on the right does?  The reason we ask is because we cannot get the software on the right to Connect after clicking the connect button since we have updated to a Windows 10 machine.  However, the program on the left connects just fine using the same USB-GPIO device and then we can successfully load the same register file and program the device.  I am in our IT department and am not as knowledgeable on the engineering side of things.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Kyle,

    Yes, I would suggest using the V2.3 for your programming since it is the newest version. It should be a new and improved version of the V1.20 programmer.

    Hello Shawn,

    Thank you for your response!  Unfortunately in talking with our engineer he was saying that he would prefer not to use the Evaluation software because it allows much more functionality that could then allow for miss-clicks or errors with our end operators.

    With that said, is there an updated version of the bq77908 bq77910 Programmer v1.20 Program?

    If not, is there a way to use the evaluation program instead via a batch script command line?  Where we could then script the program to load a config file and then program all via a batch script that the operator can then click on so that there is no room for error or miss-clicks?

    Thanks!

    Kyle

    Hi Kyle,

    The latest version of the programmer is V2.3, which can be found here.

    Hello Shawn,

    Okay then yes that is the version that I have installed and it is the bq77908 : bq77910 Evaluation software that I do have working on the Windows 10 machine.

    However, to my internal engineer's point, is there any way to write a command line batch script then or somewhat simpler way to load the config file and program a device as there are more options in that program than the previous bq77910-bq77808 Programmer Program that they are afraid some operators could mess up.

    Thanks,

    Kyle

    Hi Kyle,

    I understand your concern. The device can be programmed with a micro controller. Details can be found in the datasheet. Unfortunately, this device is NRND which means it is no longer supported and there is very little knowledge about this device.There are some old threads with information, such as this one, which I would recommend you take a look at.
