I am a bit too new to this St universe, could someone please point ,me in the right direction?

I would like to update the Firmware on my BMS L9963 board. I found a folder on the website for the GUI for download. It contains a ELF file and some .dlls

How do I transfer this onto the board? I have SPC5 Studio and the Autodevkit installed. 

There are no samples for that BMS other than an example for timers (?).

How? Why? :) 

Comming from the Arduino universe I am very very lost right now. Maybe someone could help? 

Is there a noob guide somewhere? How to get all of this going?

PLS Debugger Tool is a tools whihc permits to flash and debug the software.

PLS can be used by a feature / plugins integrated in SPC5Studio

Elf contains the symbol of your program which permits to the debugger to find the variables, symbols and memory contexts

Have you tried to launch PLS Debugger Tool externally from SPC5Studio tool and load the elf file?

How do I start this PLS Debugger Tool? I have SPC5Studio and also Autodevkit as two different programs installed,  none of them knows PLÖS Debugger when I use the search, nor do I find such button.
