    Hello Uday,

    BQ78PL116 requires specific software called bqWizard.

    BQ78PL116 does not work with bqStudio. Here is the page where you can find download links to bqWizard

    Hi shirish,

    It is just a name mention mistake because I was working on both impedance gauge IC and BQ78PL116. I am using BQwizard 3.1 version.

    Hello Uday, There a new version available - bqWizard 3.2 Have you tried that?

    bqWizard programs the firmware based on parameters configured. Can you elaborate on your question?

    Load the latest version of bqWizard from the web.

    The instructions to follow to load the F/W is as follows:

    To load new firmware

       - Go to Bootstrap Loader dialog box: Main menu --> Utilities --> Bootstrap Loader
       - Click on "Select File" button
       - Browse to "C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\bqWizard 3\Configuration Files\bq78PL116\Firmware"
       - Select FW_0002_0000_6000_0719.enc "Open"
       - After returning to Bootstrap Loader dialog box select "Preserve Calibration" box
       - Click on "Download" button
       - Save calibration data to a file
       - After download is complete, approximately 50s, close the Bootstrap Loader dialog box. Control returns to the bqWizard
       - Read all parameters: Main menu --> Commands --> Read All Parameters
       - Turn on "Wired bit": Main Menu --> Commands --> Toggle Wired Bit

    This should update the bq78PLPL116 to the latest F/W revision.
