    Default December 2021, V8.3.14 Public Release - Update 6

    V8.3.14 Public Release

    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.

    Full Release Notes:
    Version Numbers:
    After installing this release you should have the following software and firmware versions installed:

    • EFILive V7 software: V7.5.42 To view the installed version, select Help->About (in the V7 Scan or Tune software).
    • EFILive V8 software: V8.3.14 To view the installed version, select Help->About (in the V8 Scan and Tune software).
    • FlashScan/AutoCal V3 Firmware: V3.00.083 (Dec 08, 2021), Boot Block: V3.00.005 (Oct 20, 2020)
    • FlashScan/AutoCal V2 Firmware: V2.08.183 (Dec 08, 2021), Boot Block: V2.08.009 (Feb 27, 2021)


    Download here:

    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.


    Regards,
    The EFILive Team

    Found a problem in this and the previous update (only two new ones I tried). In the V8 scan/tune when using the scan tab opening log files, if you have other programs open like chrome or V7.5. Everytime a window pops up in the V8 scan software were you have to click ok/continue ect. It will minimize V8 and switch over to chrome or the program tab, not sure if it's just on my end or what?

    Does it minimize before you click [OK] or after you click [OK]?

    That is very strange. I can't get that to happen on any of our test systems here. We have also not had anyone else report that strange behavior.

    I did some searching online and found this, which may help you test/change some settings in Windows to prevent that problem.

    Thanks Paul, I will give these try. Sorry to bother with windows created problems, it was something new and only appeared to happen the EFILive stuff.

    I tried the above things that didn't appear to change anything, I did find something that helped. If I actualy minimize the other open programs using the top right of the screen instead of just clicking over from tab to tab in the task bar. The V8 software functioned like normal and did not minimize when clicking ok/continue of the windows that pop up. Guess for now I will just keep going with that option, kinda weird.
