I am trying to complete the configuration process for a design using the BQ27541-V200.
I have the BQ27541EVM, which came with an EV2300 interface. Because this is not supported on 64-bit systems I have instead obtained an EV2400.
After installing the bqEVSW software and the support components that allow it to be used with the EV2400, I am able to communicate with the board and go through the first part of the calibration process.
I now need to do the chemistry selection test, which requires a load circuit to be connected under control of the program and connected to the VOUT pin of the EV2300 HDQ port.
I have built this circuit and confirmed that it works correctly, but the HDQ port of the EV2400 does not output the necessary control signal - the VOUT pin is constant high and is unaffected by the test on/off buttons on page 4C of the bqEASY tool. The EV2400 documentation says that the HDQ port is not supported.
I saw that there are unofficial 64-bit drivers for the EV2300, so installed these and tried to use the EV2300 instead, but they do not work - the EV2300 appears as 'Unidentified Device' in Device Manager, and is not detected by bqEVSW.
How can I complete this test? I see that there is a newer package, GaugeStudio, but it doesn't seem to include the bqEASY tool or equivalent functionality.
