Need Library for TI Fuel Gauge Bq34z100

Hi everybody. 

 

I would like to use the MSP430FR5969 to read my battery status information from Texas Instruments Bq34Z100 fuel gauge that communicates via I2C. 

 

I know there is a Booster Pack for a different fuel gauge from TI that works with the Launch Pad and also communicates via I2C http://www.ti.com/tool/boostxl-battpack

 

 

This has me wondering if it would be easy to use this existing library to read the data from the slightly different chip I'm evaluation now the Bq34z100 http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq34z100.pdf

 

I asked the tech support guys on TI's forum if there was an existing library that would allow communication and he pointed me towards this 

 

You can download the FlashStream program from this website. It has some information on interfacing with the MSP430. The program was developed for another device, but the information is applicable to the bq34100.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
