    Default Update: May 15, 2013

    EFILive encourages customers to use this public update in their production environments.

    Important:
    This latest software update requires updated USB drivers (V2.08.28). You cannot use this version of the software with older versions of the USB drivers.
    If you are having difficulty connecting to FlashScan/AutoCal after installing this update, DO NOT DOWNGRADE THE USB DRIVERS. The problem is possibly a USB 2.0/3.0 incompatibility.
    Try using FlashScan/AutoCal in a USB 2.0 port instead of a USB 3.0 port.

    Download here:

    Updates:
    V7

    • Automatically generate \My Documents\EFILive\V7.5 folder hierarchy if it does not exist at application start-up.
    • *.cax files may not contain any user defined calibrations that overlap existing EFILive calibration definitions or that reference data outside of the calibration memory area. If they do, the user will be notified that the *.cax calibration will be ignored.
    • *.ctz files with V8 security restrictions (cal-only, flash-only) can no longer be loaded into the V7 software.


    V8

    • LML cal-flash and full-flash is now available.
    • Automatically generate \My Documents\EFILive\V8 folder hierarchy if it does not exist at application start-up.
    • Stopped PID selection lists from auto-expanding/collapsing when selecting PIDs in Scan Tool and BBX tab pages.
    • Auto-Locked E38 controllers can now be auto-unlocked successfully.
    • Explorer was asking for overwrite permission twice when copying files, now it only asks once.
    • Explorer now refreshes top pane correctly when dragging/dropping files from device to PC.
    • When reporting OS mismatch, error message now shows "Unknown" (instead of -1 or $FFFFFFFF) for operating system number


    Firmware

    • Fixed AutoCal LCD screen display corruption.
    • Fixed "Record All Diags" option to include freeze frames and System Readiness Tests.
    • Increased pre-defined calculated PIDs per BBL PID selection from 8 to 32.
    • Updated USB drivers to V2.08.28.


    Drivers



    Known Issues:
    Please post issues, questions, clarifications (large or small) in this thread.
    As issues are reported and confirmed they will be re-posted as "Known Issues" below.

    • FlashScan and AutoCal Version numbers and version dates do not display in the EFILive Control Panel (aka EFILive_HAPI) application on the [F6: Firmware] tab page (fixed in next update).
    • PID custom units are not being loaded correctly when opening a BBX configuration file (fixed in next update).
    • Copy/Paste of BBX PIDs does not copy the custom units or alarm settings (fixed in next update).
    • BBX PID display order is not being maintained (fixed in next update).
    • Connecting FlashScan or AutoCal to USB3.0 ports may cause very slow connections or no connection at all - try using a USB 2.0 port instead (under investigation).
    • Clicking [Display Image] in EFILive Explorer on the [F11: Splash] tab page causes a "$0101: No data received" error after 5 seconds (fixed in next update).
    • LS1A and LS1B controllers report as "Locked with a custom key" when attempting to read or flash using V7.5. Use V8 to read/flash LS1A and LS1B controllers (fixed in next update).
    • BBx option "Record All Diags" does not save freeze frame data (fixed in next update).
    • BBx option "Record All Diags" does not show monitor supported status (fixed in next update).

    After installing the latest release you should have the following software, boot block, firmware versions installed:
    EFILive V7 software: V7.5.7 Build 231
    To view the installed version, select Help->About (in the V7 Scan or Tune software).

    Ok thought I'd jumped the gun a bit after reading the description that the added slots were in Firmware.. Have updated my V2 and am still not seeing the new PID slots..

    Is there a step I've missed? (newbie to this software/hardware so have made lots of mistakes)

    It just means you can still only define up to 8 calc PIDs in the V7 compatibility window but another 24 calc PIDs in the normal V8 PID selection (which can also have the same name as existing V7 calc PIDs).

    okay IJ, maybe not such a big problem,
    we'll have a look at your sae_generic.txt file and make some edits there to make use of the new capacity.
    we will just need to be very careful when you change versions

    I updated V7.5 and V8 then plugged my V2 in, (new) drivers installed just fine. Opened V8, and get a cannot connect error. Used the USB Manager and uninstalled, rebooted, then reinstalled the latest drivers. No luck. Plugged my V2 into another USB port on my laptop, and all is fine. I have never had this issue with any previous drivers, I will try going back to the old ones later on today after I get some tuning done.

    The problem ports/controller are my USB3 ports and the older USB2 ports work fine. If you need any USB controller specs, please let me know. I will report back later tonight if using the old drivers makes the USB3 ports work again (they're the ones Ive always used for tuning in the past).

    Also, after updating my firmware to the latest .40, I clicked the Refresh button and fields stayed blank. I have a pin on my V2 so the first time after a firmware update I have to enter my pin and click Refresh to get the status update, but Ive never seen this happen before. I shut V8 down completely and re-opened it, still nothing appeared in the fields (but the FlashScan V2 line item updated correctly).

    If it helps, I simply installed these versions over the top of my existing Public Release 4/23 versions.
