This page is a work in progress as there is a lot to be discovered about our BMS.

In the reference folder, there are many documents and some sample code provided by Texas Instruments for various implementations of the bq76pl455A-Q1 chip. Keep in mind that our bms will use passive balancing with the TMS5701224 as there are also examples using active balancing and a different TMS570 mcu. Here is a suggested order to read the reference guides.

1. EVM and GUI Guide: An guide to our EVM and how to use the GUI
2. Passive EVM > Overview: An overview of how the bms will interface with our TMS570
3. Passive EVM > SW Reference and Example Code: The code for interfacing the bms with the TMS570
4. Active BMS_TMS-PL455: Provides a look at the software cycle, however it uses completely different boards and active balancing.
