Downloads

Overview

bq Evaluation software(bqEVSW) is a software tool to assist with the process of evaluating, designing with, configuring, testing, or otherwise utilizing the BQ30Z554-R1 TI Battery management product. It includes features that provide full access to registers and data memory including support for real-time logging, direct low-level communication, as well as support for configuration and calibration.

Prerequisites

  • Windows XP, EV2300 drivers
  • EV2300 or EV2400
  • USB cable, EVM, wires for connections, Battery cells, Load and/or charger

Note for EV2300: The EV2300 product page provides drivers for 32-bit windows. It may be possible to use 64 bit Windows 7 or newer 64 bit Windows with the unofficial 64 bit EV2300 driver posted on TI e2e forum.

Features
  • Support for the EV2300 and EV2400**
  • Full register access and logging
  • Full data memory access and logging
  • Calibration of gauge

** May require installation of EV2400 support components from EV2400 product page.

Release Information

Description:

BQ-BATTERY-PROGRAMMER-SW software development kit (SDK) is a collection of robust software command line tools that assist with the process of programming, testing, or assembling packs that use TI Battery management products. The executables in this software work with the MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 MKS Technology alternative for EV2300 communications transceiver. The executables work with a single station but can be extended to multiple stations by using additional software and GUI from MKS Technology Inc. . Support for multiple stations is not included in this software.

There are multiple executables in the download, usually one per family of products. Older products such as BQ20xxx and BQ30xxx are also supported.  Examples using  the C++ programming language API and Python® programming language are provided for custom development.

Requirements:

  • Hardware: MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300
  • Supported operating systems: Windows (32 and 64 bits)
  • Software: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C++ Runtime redistributable

Features:

  • Collection of command line executables for Windows
  • Small executable size with few dependencies
  • Fast programming
  • Supports BQFS/DFFS and SREC file formats
  • Provides C API for custom code development
  • Callable from other programs for automation
  • Portable design simplifies deployment
  • Separately downloadable support software to enable legacy software like BQEVSW and ADVANCED-BQMTESTER to work with MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300

Getting started:

1. Download the software

2. Run the installer

3. The executables, C API and Python API files can be found in the install location

4. Run the command line executable without arguments to get usage help. Refer to Readme.txt in the install folder for more information and how to get help using the command line.

What's new

  • Added support for BQ78350 and BQ34Z100

Release Information

Description:

BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE software is a software update for BQEVSW (bq Evaluation Software) and BQEASY (bq EV-Easy) to allow it to work with the MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 MKS Technology alternative for EV2300 communications transceiver. This update installs a program that allows switching the USB transceiver target in software like BQEVSW and BQEASY from/to EV2300 to/from MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300.

The program requires administrator privileges.

Requirements:

  • Hardware: MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300
  • Operating system: Windows (32 or 64 bit)
  • Software: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C++ Runtime redistributable

Features:

  • Enable use of MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 in older software like BQEVSW and BQEASY
  • Switch back to use of EV2300 in older software like BQEVSW and BQEASY

Getting started:

1. Download the software

2. Run the installer and check the option to create shortcuts

3. Run the program using shortcut named BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE from Start menu/Desktop

4. Allow administrator privilege when/if prompted

5. On the GUI window that opens, select the target transceiver to support and follow steps to switch

6. Connect matching transceiver and start BQEVSW, BQEASY or other similar software.

Note: BQMTESTER-MKST-UPDATE and BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE both update the same software components. Switching the USB transceiver using any of these shortcuts will also switch it in the other.

Documentation

Release Information

Important Note: The latest chemistry updater for bqStudio requires bqStudio 1.3.86 or higher.

 

Instructions for bqStudio Chemistry database update:

  • 1. Download the "bqStudio Chemistry Update zip" file and save with extension *.zip
  • 2. Connect an impedance track(IT) enabled gauge to the PC and open Battery Management Studio(bqStudio). bqStudio must autodetect the gauge. Alternatively select impedance track enabled gauge from selection list.
  • 3. From bqStudio "Help" menu select "Update Chemistry". When prompted point bqStudio to the downloaded zip file. Upon successful update, a confirmation message will be shown.

Instructions for bqEVSW Chemistry database update:

  • Run the installer to update the chemistry database used by bq Evaluation / bqEasy software
