Yeah but it only copies from 0x10000 onwards, so it isn't an exact copy, just a copy of the calibration data.

Why don't you just get another ecu of the same type?

Mainly due to the cost, the v8 ecus are selling for up-to $450 on fleabay, a stock FG ecu goes for a lot less. was worth a try.

They only have 6 injector drivers anyway so even if the file loads the car will never run.

That's what we we were trying to confirm. I'm pretty sure Nobody wants to open one up to check either due to there cost. I'm sure the file loaded, just trying every different combination we can, of read and write.
The tunning programs looking good rolls.

Someone on HPT has already confirmed they have only 6 injector drivers, I remember reading somewhere.

Tested on a few BA ECU's now Rolls, looks like they dont like that tester present message, ECU still responds with a 'computer says no' response.

Doesnt look like its even required, I put the ECU inline with with of my middle man devices to filter out any tester present messages going to the ECU, and still reads/write to the ECU happily.

Not that its a biggy, still reads with the tester present messages to a BA. Just curious if any of the Ford ECUs even need it?

Tester present was just to stop a security timeout, eg if I pop a prompt window up and people sit there waiting 10 seconds before clicking ok/next. I will most likely just remove it as it isn't necessary, can always recycle the ignition if required.

Cheers for the feedback

on another note I now have my editor opening files and viewing tables. Here is a screenshot of some of the new tables that HPT do not have mapped on BF which imo are extremely useful to be able to edit (load vs rpm SD tuning correction), I think SCT has these tables. Need to work on fonts and layout a bit but the basics are done.




Here is my WPF code for the grid as well if anyone is interested. Took me about 2 days to get it working as there was nothing I could find on the net that can do it out of the box.

Hi all,

This is probably a stupid question, but has anyone tried getting one of these RTOS PCM dumps running on Emul8 ? http://antmicro.com/OpenSource/emul8/

They support PPC.. it's designed to emulate embedded hardware.. I found Mr Rolls linkedin page so I'd imagine he has already done it or has something better than Emul8 but figured I'd ask anyway.

I know openecu has done stuff with the more powerful PPC CPU's like the MPC5*** stuff.. but is that a limiting factor here?

It comes down to how much support it has. Probably easier to get the bdm running than emulating it.

I did look into it but found it easier to just poll ram addresses directly and could figure most things out that way.

Update as this thread has been a bit quiet. Still working away hard on the software, lots and lots to do!

Some screenshots. Added some nice fullscreen overlays for popups. Still needs some layout massaging but looking better than the crusty winforms popups. Surprisingly WPF does not have anything out the box like this so I had to build my own controls that mimic the winforms ones.


"Dirty" Cells when you've edited but not saved the file


map tracing where the highlighted cell flicks around and is blue. I have just tied this to some simulation code for now, still needs to have a live data source from the flash library.

LOOKING GREAT!!!! nice work

LOOKING GREAT!!!! nice work

Thanks.

I really want the UI to stand out and be prettier but also more functional/easier to use than what is out there. I'm aiming for something similar to the motec software and with a similar level of content explaining what parameters do. They spent a few million on software development though, so we might have my work cut out for us!
