PCM Hacking Tools - Share What You Use

This is a work in progress!

Be sure to post the tools you use in the comments



Windows Tools

LS1 Flash Tool - Still in development, but you can tell it has a future here.



TunerPro - Has ability to tune and scan, a must have.



WinOLS - Great program, hex editor, has a 2D and 3D view, and more. Great for locating maps in a binary.



HxD Hex Editor - Hex editor.



wOBD - This is a great tool, sadly last update is from 2006. Still a great app, say you want to poll every pid at $22, $3C? This is it.



IDA - Disassembler and debugger.



DISMOT68 - Two pass Motorola 6833X disassembler. Support definition files and structure.

STNTerm - Terminal for ELM and STN.

OS X Tools

Synalyze It! - It's the best hex editor I've used. You can make configs called grammar, highlight bytes, label them and a ton more. Make sure to try the grammar that is provided with the program, pretty neat stuff. Here's a bin I just started working on...



CoolTerm - Well this one is cross platform but only tried OSX version. It has support for AppleScripts, and works great.



Wine - It lets you run Windows programs on OSX.



Linux Tools

Looks like some pretty neat stuff nice work, I've tried a few hex editors & best so far I'd seen was a program called hex editor I think (will update when I go to workshop).

So guessing coolterm will be able to listen in on any OBDII protocol reading/writing do you need to tell it protocol being used?

Was told about wines a while ago, but never really used MAC so no real need there, but again nice work!

Its worth keeping an eye on wine and tunerpro, it must be a bit hit n miss as ive used it to review logs in tunerpro on linux, seemed to work well enough. Would have been a very recent version of wine.

Is there any benefit of using MAC/Linux over Windblows?

[antus]

Not really, most tools are made for windows. I use linux a lot, but generally windows for tuning.

The synalyze it program looks pretty handy! Nice find Would be nice if it was available on other platforms.

I use a laptop 99% of the time. I rarely use Windows, my laptop has triple boot though (Win7, Linux, OSX). Of course I have a few Linux and Windows boxes, I don't discriminate. Antus is right, it's all preference. The latest MacBook Air goes 12 hours+ on a full charge, perfect for on the go. But the lack of tuning tools makes it tough to use it for data logging and tuning. That should change soon

I'll mess with the wine settings, probably fixable. That would make my life easier, it's hard enough finding free time for this.

Yeah they were my thoughts on Mac-Linux Vs Windblows not sure what OSX is!

My previous favorite editor is actually 010 editor by sweetscape, but your 1 does look pretty neat but probably over my head!

[antus]

OSX is apples operating system, eg a mac. "Operating System Version 10 (X in roman numerals)" Under the hood its FreeBSD but with a proprietary user interface on top, so that makes it a form of unix and similar to linux. Thats how wine can be built for both giving you versions for both, and why it works well
