EasyEVSE signal board compatibility and availability

I’m standing up an EasyEVSE development system and I have a few questions.  

From the code revision history (and the 6 May 2026  vs. Dec 2025 versions of CCEVCPGSUG.pdf), it looks it looks like in software version 5.1.2  that support for EVSE-SIG-BRD2X has been removed and the expectation is that the EVSE side will use SIGBRD-HPGP instead. 


  • Is this correct?
  • It looks like software v5.1.2 added much of the support for SIGBRD-HPGP, does the previous version (v5.0.8) still support EVSE-SIG-BRD2X?
  • Is the SIGBRD-HPGP available?  I don’t see it at mouser or digikey, or in NXP’s store.

I have two of the EVSE-SIG-BRD2Xs and I’d like to move forward as the SIGBRD-HPGP appears to not be an option right now.


Any insights would be appreciated

Hi @chrisedwards,

As you mention, the updated EVSE platform is designed to leverage the SIGBRD-HPGP on the EVSE side. Currently, the EV side still supports EVSE-SIG-BRD2X, although it can also be implemented using SIGBRD-HPGP.

However, considering that you already have both EVSE-SIG-BRD2Xs, and that the SIGBRD-HPGP is still under qualification process (and will likely take some more time for it to be available for the public), I recommend you stick to this setup, and consider the use of a previous SW version before this latest modification. You should be able to use v5.0.8 for support with the two EVSE-SIG-BRD2X setup.

BR,
Edwin.

Re: EasyEVSE signal board compatibility and availability

Hi Edwin, 

Thank you for your response.  I'm back working on this and am having issues getting EVSE code v5.0.8 that i got from Git to work.  It builds fine and displays the GUI, but when I try to use its debug interface and request the version information, I get a correct response for the 1060 code of 5.0.8, but the version of the sigbrd2x shows as hw: v 255, and sw: v255.255.0.  I seem to recall reading a post that said there was some issue with a communications conflict with the LCD display on the 1060 board.  I can program the sigbrd2x and step code, so I'm pretty confident that that side is executing.  I'm using the EVSE-RT106X-CBL rather than the arduino headers.  My primary symptoms are the version reporting above that seems suspect, and I can't get past the "firmware download" status on the EVSE LCD, and the EVSE code on the 1060 won't start if the sigbrd2x is powered up (I'm powering them separately).  It feels like a communications issue.  Is there a patch / workaround for this?  If so, can you point me to documentation on how to resolve it?

Best Regards,

Chris Edwards
