Compiler/BQ27Z561: what is standard process specifically for bq27z561 to load flash stream file into it ?

Part Number: BQ27Z561
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, EV2400

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

i am asking this question because i have seen below thread

BQSTUDIO: Production Programming of Gas Gauge

in this thread they  confirmed with another team member ti " for the new gauges such as the BQ28Z610, they don't use a golden image file anymore but instead rely on the .gg files. As for programming a device, you will need to go to the "Firmware" tab, and the data type should be an srec. From there you should be able to read and program the srec file in/out of your device."

i want to know

1] which method i have to follow for load learning cycle of battery  into bq27z561 ic  ? please specify which file i have to use .gg or srec for bq27z561 ic ?

2] which i hardware need to use and how to connect it with pc for load that file into bq27z561 using bqstudio?

3] how to read starting batter voltage and ending battery voltage? i want to show that on my qt embedded application for showing current remaining battery voltage ?

  • Hello Mangal,

    There are other posts explaining differences in the file types: e2e.ti.com/.../699402

    The srec file contains IF and DF, the gg gile only contains some of the DF.

    I would recommend you use srec for programming, you can use the EV2400 and bqStudio to communicate with our gauges.

    Sincerely,

    Wyatt Keller

  • Means answer of my question is

    1] which method i have to follow for load learning cycle of battery  into bq27z561 ic  ?

    ->From  "Firmware" tab, and by slecting the data type  an srec i can load golden image file into bq27z561 ic.

    2] which i hardware need to use and how to connect it with pc for load that file into bq27z561 using bqstudio?

    -> i need EV2400 hardware and BQSTUDIO  software to load successful learning cycle into bq27z561.

    i need below question answer

    1]  Actually this bq27z561 ic is connected with I.mx6 system on module. now how to connect bqstudio , ev2400 with this system on module so that i can get state of charge consumed by peripherals connected to i.mx6 som ? 

    2] how to read starting batter voltage and ending battery voltage? i want to show that on my qt embedded application for showing current remaining battery voltage ?

  • Hi Mangal,

    1. Refer to EVM userguide for necessary  connections: 
    2. Use Voltage() or logging through bqstudio

    Best regards,
