    Default RR problems

    Ok, I just got the guts kit installed and it connects just fine. When I try to flash an operating system/calibration in, this is what I get... I thought I read that the 1MB emulator will work on both the 512/1MB PCMs, so why am I getting this? What am I doing wrong here or not understanding?

    The way I read it, there is some checks done by EFILive that wont allow 512 files to be loaded on a 1024 RR emulator chip. Might be worth giving Paul or Ross a pm to see if there is a workaround available.

    Is this a 1mb PCM?
    The OS you are trying to load is for a 516k PCM, it will not work in anything but a 516k PCM.
    The 1mb & 516k PCMs are not pinned the same.

    No, this is a 512K PCM running the '02 Express cal. I was under the impression that this 1MB emulator worked on either of them. There is no option on the Moates site to select which one you want so I figured it worked on both...

    There is a only one type of RR and it is 1mb.

    Hmmm, then why is the already assembled Moates 12200411 PCM listed as a 512? I'm confused

    99-2002 LS1 PCMs are 516k & 2003+ LS1 PCMs are 1mb.
    Moates sells the RR installed in both, your choice.

    Did you install the guts kit or is it a whole unit from Moates?
    The first two digits of the serial number denotes which PCM it is and
    the PCM case will have either blue & red (516k) or blue & green (1mb) written on them.

    This was a guts kit that I installed. I definitely have the 99-02 PCM with red/blue connectors. The first two digits of the RR serial is 02.

    Based on the other thread I linked, how are others using the same RR and switching them between the older and newer LS1 PCMs?

    By the way...thanks for all the help so far

    This is typically either 01 (for 512k) or 02 (for 1meg).
    This is almost entirely specified in order to facilitate correct OS matching etc with the target device from the software perspective.

    You can force the RR PCM to accept a 512K file by holding down the Ctrl+Shift keys on the PC keyboard while clicking on the RR control panel's full-flash tool button.
