Functions

void bms_init_config(struct bms_context *bms, enum bms_cell_type type, float capacity_Ah)

Initialization of struct bms_ic_conf with typical default values for the given cell type.

Parameters:
  • bms – Pointer to BMS object.

  • type – One of enum CellType (defined as int so that it can be set via Kconfig).

Main BMS state machine

Parameters:
  • bms – Pointer to BMS object.

void bms_soc_update(struct bms_context *bms)

Update SOC based on most recent current measurement

Function should be called each time after a new current measurement was obtained.

Parameters:
  • bms – Pointer to BMS object.

void bms_soc_reset(struct bms_context *bms, int percent)

Reset SOC to specified value or calculate based on average cell open circuit voltage

Parameters:
  • bms – Pointer to BMS object.

  • percent – 0-100 %, -1 for calculation based on OCV

bool bms_chg_error(uint32_t error_flags)

Charging error flags check

Returns:

true if any charging error flag is set
