BQ24192: USB-to-GPIO interface adapter needed for EVM?

Part Number: BQ24192

Good morning team,

I have a question about the BQ24192EVM-021 board. My customer is trying to read/write to the registers via the USB-mini port, but it doesn't seem to recognize the device. 

They've read through the user manual and noticed a separate USB-to-GPIO interface adapter (HPA172) that connects to J3. Is this adapter the only way to communicate with the registers?

Thank you for your support!

    Hi Errol,

    The USB port (J7) is for providing power only.  The BQ24192 communicates with a host through I2C.  A USB-to-GPIO box at J3 connects to the chargers SDA and SCL pins and allows the use of the BQ24192 GUI software.  Alternatively, your customer can connect a host processor/controller directly to the SDA, SCL pins for communication.

    Regards,
