5.2.1 GUI
For initial evaluation, it may be more beneficial to use the graphical user's interface (GUI), which provides a
"point and click" interface to become familiar with the BQ79631-Q1. During the initial sampling phase, please
contact your local TI FAE to get the latest GUI version.
To get started with the GUI, please refer to the
BQ79616-Q1 and BQ75614-Q1 GUI User's Guide
.
5.2.2 GUI UART Connection
The physical setup for the GUI is the same as for the microcontroller, but will instead use an USB2ANY interface
and a 10 pin cable for the UART connections on J10. The USB2ANY has a USB Mini-B connector on the right
side. Plug the provided USB cable (or any USB cable with a Mini-B connector) into the USB2ANY. Plug the other
end of the cable (USB ‘A’) into the computer. Then connect the10-pin connector cable to J4 of the USB2ANY
(middle most connector) and must have the key side facing upwards when connecting to the EVM header J10.
Please refer to the picture below and this is explained in more detail in the
USB2ANY Interface Adapter User's
