The bq28z610 EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq28z610 or bq294502 battery management system. The EVM includes one bq28z610 and bq294502 circuit module and a link to Windows™ based PC software. The circuit module includes one bq28z610 integrated circuit (IC), one bq294502 IC, and all other onboard components necessary to monitor and predict capacity, perform cell balancing, monitor critical parameters, protect the cells from overcharge, over-discharge, short-circuit, and over-current in 1- or 2-series cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery packs. The circuit module connects directly across the cells in a battery. With the EV2400 interface board and software, the user can read the bq28z610 data registers, program the chipset for different pack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the solution under different charge and discharge conditions using I2C communication protocol.

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.

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.
BQ28Z610-R1 Gauging Firmware (Rev. B)
BQ28Z610-R1B Technical Reference Manual(TRM)
Description
The R1B version of BQ28Z610-DEVICE-FW is a firmware (FW) upgrade for the BQ78Z100 hardware. It is identical to BQ28Z610-R1. Programming the R1B firmware on BQ78Z100 hardware will effectively convert the BQ78Z100 to a BQ28Z610-R1(Rev. A). BQ28Z610-R1 is a highly integrated, accurate, 1-series to 2-series cell gas gauge with protection solution, providing autonomous charger control and cell balancing. This firmware is compatible with bq28z610-R1 hardware. Note: This firmware is not compatible with bq28z610 hardware.
