2.1.2 Software Installation

Find the latest software version in the bq40z80 tool folder on www.ti.com. Version 1.3.83 or greater is required to use all the bq40z80 features. Use the following steps to install the bq40z80 Battery Management Studio software:

  1. Download and run the Battery Management Studio setup program from the Development Tools section of the bq40z80EVM product folder on www.ti.com. See Section 2.2 for detailed information on using the tools in the Battery Management Studio.
  2. If the communications interface adapter was not previously installed, then after the Battery Management Studio installation, a TI USB driver installer pops up. Click Yes for the agreement message and follow the instructions.
  3. Plug the EVM into a USB port using the USB cable. The Windows system shows a prompt that new hardware has been found. When asked, Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?, select No, not this time, and click Next. The next dialog window indicates This wizard helps you install software for: TI USB Firmware Updater. Select Install the software automatically (Recommended) and click Next. The next screen is the Confirm File Replace screen. Click No to continue. If this screen does not appear, then go to the next step. After Windows indicates that the installation was finished, a similar dialog window pops up to install the second driver. Proceed with the same installation preference as the first one.
