September 2020, Beta 51 release 2

[Blacky]

ATTENTION - BETA SOFTWARE RELEASE

We strongly recommend that you do not install the beta software over the top of your production systems. It is possible that the beta test software may fail and your production system may not be recoverable. lf you conduct a tuning business, please take the necessary precautions to protect your business. EFILive recommends beta testers use a separate FlashScan V3/V2 device (when installing the latest beta firmware) and only install the EFILive beta test software on a separate PC, laptop or virtual machine.

This beta update contains a new CSP switchable tune operating system for CMF controllers. It is an "early access" feature that is not intended for production use just yet. EFILive is looking for feedback on the performance of the CMF CSP OS. Please do not install the CMF CSP OS on remote vehicles. Only install it on vehicles in your workshop that you can recover easily if the CSP5 OS causes problems.

For users dealing with the V3 AutoCal products you must use this release and ensure that all devices have the firmware updated to the version in this release prior to being used on vehicles.

The current public release is available here (https://www.efilive.com/download-efilive).

Known Issues for Beta 51(1):


Issue #1:

When converting V7 *.cax files to V8 *.cax8 files using the [F8: Tools] -> [F6: Bulk Files] -> [Convert User Calibration files] option, literal labels defined in the V7 cax files are not being converted correctly to literal labels in the V8 *.cax8 files.


And, even when they are manually corrected, the V8 software is still not interpreting the literal labels in V8 *.Cax8 files correctly.


Workaround:


None - update to Beta 51(2)

Im still having issues with $0503 errors on the AC3 devices with the newest update. Is there anything that I can try other then reinstalling the software and updating the firmware? It doesnt seem to be a resolution to the error code so far on 3 separate devices.

[cindy@efilive]

Post #1 was updated to beta 51(2). Can you please confirm you have that installation, not the earlier 51(1).
After updating, please ensure your firmware and configuration files are updated.

If you are still having $0503 issues after confirming all of those, please raise a ticket on our service desk and upload your trace files. At this stage, wev'e had a number of reports that the issue from the earlier beta that resulted in $0503 was resolved with this release.

Cheers
Cindy

Can you copy all the files (*.obj etc) from the V3 device's \EFILive\Config folder to a new folder on your PC, then zip up that new folder and send it to me directly at paul@efilive.com
Thanks

I'm IN LOVE with v8 editor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aaronc7]

Is there a better place to provide V8 editor feedback? Just minor stuff, don't want to clutter it up here and doesn't really pertain to the functionality of getting the next stable release out.

I created a new forum to discuss the V8 editor.
