RR problems

[bvd80]

Thanks Paul, that worked!

But when I try to read the tune back out after flashing a 512K operating system/cal, I get a message that says "unknown bin file format". Is there a way to completely wipe out whats stored on the RR? I took off the battery in hopes of maybe clearing it....

Just to check, I did the same with a 1MB tune file and it worked perfectly.

Can you send me the 512K *.tun file that you attempted to flash into the RR?
Send to paul@efilive.com

Email sent...

Sorry, can you also send me the BadFileFormat.tun file that EFILive will automatically save when it gives you the bad bin file format error.

Ok, I have both files thanks. I can see the problem but I can't tell what caused it yet. I will need to talk to Moates about why it is failing and what we can do about it.

Once last thing, does the vehicle start/run once you have programmed the 512K file into it? Based on what I can see I would expect that it would not, but I just need your confirmation.

Paul,

I haven't had a chance to actually hook this up to my vehicle yet. I'm running it on a bench-top harness at the moment, but I also suspect that it will not run the engine if I tried.

Thanks for all your help!

Actually after looking through the code, I think it will work and I think it will start and run your vehicle. Its worth trying at some stage.

I am confident that if you hold the Ctrl+Shift when clicking on the "read" toolbar icon, the RR it will read out the data correctly. Let me know if that works.

Oh really? That would be nice.

I tried a full flash and read again, holding Ctrl+Shift and I'm still getting that unknown bin file format when I try to read the file back out.

My mistake, the Ctrl+Shift won't allow you to read out the PCM.

I'll wait to hear from Craig. Then I can make a decision on whether to not to implement the Ctrl+Shift option on the read as well.

Meanwhile, I'll send you a test version with the Ctrl+Shift implemented on the read to determine if it will read out the 512K data correctly.

The RR emulates the 28F800 and 28F400, and IIRC the 28F200 flash IC's.

I do not believe it emulates the 28F640, which has a slightly different pinout. But I don't think anyone ever used it in a PCM.... So it is a don't care. (more of my useless info...)
