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 bootload 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. 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 desoldering 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. 4.22.
