Data Flash Programming Using the EV Software


...................................................................................................................... Battery Management

This document applies to users that require a small quantity of battery packs for evaluation. For mass
production methods, see Using the BQTester Software (SLUA352) and Data Flash
Programming/Calibrating the bq20z80 Gas Gauges (SLUA355).
Values of data-flash parameters are determined based on bq20z80 data sheet (SLUS625). In most cases,
the default settings are sufficient, while the most commonly changed values are described in bq20z80
EVM Data Flash Settings for Num of Serial Cells/Pack Cap (SLVA208).

1.1 Manually changing a value of data-flash constant


1. Apply voltage of about 16 V between Pack+ and Pack- pins to power up the PCB.
2. Connect the EV2300 board, and start the EV Software.
3. Go to the "Data flash" screen.
4. Find the class containing the required data-flash parameter, for example "1st Level Safety".
5. Find the required parameter in the class, for example “POV Threshold”.
6. Type the new value directly into the table, and press enter.
7. Repeat with other constants if needed.

1.2 Saving the data-flash for use with other packs


1. While in the data-flash screen, use the File-→ Export menu to save the data-flash to a (*.gg) file

1.3 Loading previously saved data-flash constants from a file


1. While in the data-flash screen, use File-→ Import menu to load the data-flash from a (*.gg) file into
program memory.
2. Push the “write all” button to write all values into the bq20z80 data-flash.
3. If existing calibration values in bq20z80 are to be preserved rather than overwritten with the values
from the file, use the “Write All, Preserve”→ Calibration button instead.
4. Go to the “SBS Screen” and send the “Reset” command (Manufacturer Access 0041) to be sure that
all settings go into effect.
