2.1 Overview
The EV2400 ports are shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. EV2400 Ports

NOTE: The additional power input 5-V port on the EV2400 must not be connected in normal
operation. Normal operation uses power from the USB port.

2.2 EV2400 Controller

The EV2400 controller is an MSP430F5529 running at 4 MHz. The controller firmware is stored in flash
memory and is executed by the core at power-up.
The controller communicates with target device(s) through either: a 2-wire SMBus communication port, a
2-wire EEPROM I2C port, or a single-wire HDQ port. The 2-wire SMBus communication port supports both
SMBus and I2C protocols. CRC-8 checksum verification for the data packets prevents data corruption over
the USB.

2.3 USB Interface (USB)

The interface board connects to a USB port (version 1.1 or later) on a host computer and is powered from
the port. All communication over the USB is human Interface device (HID) class. Drivers are built into
Windows® and most of the operating systems.

2.4 HDQ Interface (HDQ)

This interface allows a host computer to interact with an HDQ interface device such as a battery monitor
device through a 1-wire HDQ interface. Connect the data and ground reference (VSS) to a target device.

Pin Name Description

3.1 VSS Ground return/reference for HDQ interface.
3.2 VOUT 3 Optional voltage output (future expansion)
3.3 SDA HDQ serial communication line. Pulled up to 3.3 V with a 10-kΩ resistor.
3.4 VOUT 4 Optional voltage output (future expansion)

2.5 I2C Interface (I2C)

This interface allows a host computer to interact with I2C interfaces, such as a battery monitor device and
EEPROM through a 2-wire I2C interface. Connect the data, clock, and a ground reference (VSS) to a
target device.

3 EV2400 Firmware Updater

To update the EV2400 to the latest firmware version, use the EV2400 Firmware Updater tool, which is
located at http://www.ti.com/tool/ev2400, and follow these steps:

NOTE: The Battery Management Studio (bqSTUDIO) tool helps to determine the current version of
the EV2400 firmware (FW) installed on a machine. To find the current version, plug in the
EV2400 to a computer that has bqSTUDIO installed. After bqSTUDIO starts, the FW version
is displayed in the top of the dashboard window next to the USB cable icon.

1. Download the latest EV2400 Firmware Updater tool from http://www.ti.com/tool/ev2400.

2. Open the archive with the update tool installer, and copy its contents to a temporary directory.
3. Run the installer. Take note of the location where the Firmware Updater tool is installed on the
computer.
4. Connect the EV2400 that is to be updated to the computer with the EV2400 Firmware Updater tool.

NOTE: The EV2400 should remain plugged into the computer until the update is completed.

5. Ensure that no other EV2300 or EV2400 is connected to the computer being used for the firmware
update.
6. Go to the location of the Firmware Updater tool installed doing Step 3.
7. Run the Firmware Updater tool.
8. The updater tool should detect the connected EV2400, display the current firmware version, and
prompt the user to continue to update the EV2400 firmware. See Figure 2.

10. The Firmware Updater tool should place the EV2400 into FW Update mode, perform a mass erase of
the older EV2400 version's firmware, program the EV2400, and then reset the device. The tool will
prompt the user to continue when finished. See Figure 3.

Figure 3. Update Complete Screen

11. Press Enter to close the Firmware Updater tool.

NOTE: If during the update the EV2400 is disconnected, it is possible for the MSP on the EV2400
to remain in FW update mode. To update the device in this mode, run the Firmware
Upgrader tool at the command line with the ‘-s’ option (for example,
EV2400_Updater_v0028.exe -s).
