SLUUCC3 february 2021 BQ79631-Q1
A possibility is to use the BQ79631EVM in a system of other BQ devices. If the user wishes to test the BQ79631EVM in a system of other BQ79631EVMs, then this is possible through the use of the daisy chain communications bus. If using both the BQ79631EVM and a stack of BQ79616EVMs simultaneously, then TI recommends to configure the BQ79631EVM as the bridge device by connecting to the host microcontroller through the UART host interface and then using the daisy chain communications bus to connect the BQ79631EVM to the stack of BQ79616EVM devices. This configuration is shown in the figure below.
If using the BQ79631EVM in a system with the BQ79600EVM, then TI recommends to configure the BQ79600EVM as the bridge device and the BQ79631EVM as a stack device.
