2.4.5 Creating the Golden Image File

The current EVM has completed all optimization steps at this point. The Golden Gauge can be used to program all other gauges in production using a Golden Image. This makes sure that the gauges begin with an accurate starting point to begin reporting on and further learning about a battery’s chemistry.

To get the necessary file for programming gauges, navigate to the Golden Image window in bqStudio. Change the output directory and base file name if needed. FlashStream is a file type created by Texas Instruments, though SREC files are preferred in some production environments. BQFS files are used when updating the flash memory as well as the firmware; this is an alternative to an SREC file for production. DFFS files are used for transferring data flash parameters.

Uncheck the undesired output formats and click Create Image Files to export the selected output format to the chosen output directory.
