September 2021, V8.3.8 RC1

V8.3.8 Release Candidate 1

This version of the EFILive software and firmware is a release candidate. That means it has successfully completed beta testing and may be used in production environments.
The "Check for Updates" options in the V7.5 and V8 software have not been activated yet. They will be activated when the release is promoted to a full public release.

The current public release is available here.

Attention:

V7.5 no longer supports installation to Windows XP or Windows Vista. This change is due to SHA1 having been deprecated by digital certificate authorities. More info on SHA1
V7.5 and V8 are now only supported on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.

Known Issues:

Issue #1: Importing JTAG E86B files may result in a Boot Software segment checksum error.
Workaround: None. Don't flash imported files with checksum errors. Don't use the EFILive software to correct checksum errors for the E86B imported files as that does not fix the underlying cause of the checksum error - it just masks the error(s) and causes additional problems.

Issue #2: When logging DMA PIDs (i.e., PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), if the ignition is switched off for an extended period while data logging but data logging is not terminated, then when the ignition is switched on again the data log automatically continues. However, the DMA PIDs may no longer return valid data.
Workaround: EFILive recommends stopping the data log and restarting the data log when switching off the ignition for extended periods.

Issue #3: When the LS1-style cranking VE table is displayed in default units of g*K/kPa, then comparing with another tune causes the software to conflate the units and incorrectly treat some data as % and some data as g*K/kPa, causing incorrect data to be displayed and/or compared.
Workaround: Fixed in RC2.

Issue #4: CMF flashing fails..
Workaround: Fixed in RC2.
