4.1.2. TI TMS570-based BMS-Master v1.1.1

Note

The changelog for this release is found at Section 4.1.1.9.

Important

BMS-Master release TI TMS570-based BMS-Master v1.2.2 is designed and prepared for a CAN based bootloader for remote firmware update. Follow the instructions to establish bootloader compatibility on older hardware.

The following specifications must be met to ensure a safe and optimal work with the BMS-Master hardware.

4.1.2.4. Removing the Pull-up Resistor for the PHY

In BMS-Master v1.2.3 and below, the PHY is enabled by default, which can cause issues when connecting the Ethernet cable. To avoid this, the pull-up resistors enabling the PHY should be removed. The image below shows the location of the pull-up resistors on the PCB.

4.1.2.5. Bootloader Compatibility on BMS-Master prior to v1.2.2

In BMS-Master release TI TMS570-based BMS-Master v1.2.2, the CAN1 Enable and Standby signals have been wired directly to the MCU, instead of using I2C based port expander. Therefore, on BMS-Master prior to v1.2.2 the CAN1 transceiver would not be enabled during bootloader operation, lacking the feature of firmware update capability.

By de-soldering populated 10kOhm pull-down resistors R6320_2 and R6321_2, the CAN1 transceiver will be enabled by default and is available during bootloader operation.

Details are shown in Fig. 4.28.
