BB Logging beta update: April 26, 2008

[Blacky]

Had the same problem with the Exeption Error

Noticed that when programming the firmware, EFI Explorer used to give a percent of completion. Mine just sat there, and finally said complete......Strange.....Hope it works tomorrow.

From the Readme_First.pdf file:

While FlashScan's firmware is being programmed a "percentage complete" counter will be displayed from 0% to 100%. Sometimes that counter may "freeze", however the reprogramming process will continue. It should be complete in less than 20 seconds. A dialog box indicating success will be displayed when the programming is complete.

I do not know why that happens. It happens outside of EFILive_Explorer's control. :( If I ever figure it out I'll fix it.

Regardless, if FlashScan boots normally (not into dead poll) then you can be sure that a firmware update was successful. FlashScan has built in CRC checks similar to the GM ECMs which will gaurantee that the data programmed into FlashScan is 100% correct.

If even just 1 bit of 1 byte is wrong, FlashScan will boot into dead poll forcing you to retry the firmware update.

Upgraded to 2.5.08 boot block and 2.05.17 (427) with no problems. Logging worked fine. One thing I did notice is that in the Options.ini file under PSL_LS2, the node for FuelSys is listed as PCM. Every other node is ECM or TCM. This probably has no effect on operation, but it "looks" like a mistake and may be the cause of some confusion in the future.

ok so i just did the update, everything went good i was able to record a log with the v2. now how do i read it in the scan tool?

Can we use the Digital data from the wide-band in pass through to log BENs for AutoVE and other processes ?
If so how , did I miss a key process somewhere ?

Is this a stable release?

The PID you should log is one of these: (taken from sae_generic.txt)

CALC.BEN1     "BEN Factor Bank 1, Serial Wideband, LS1 style"
CALC.BEN2     "BEN Factor Bank 2, Serial Wideband, LS1 style"
CALC.BEN1_B   "BEN Factor Bank 1, Serial Wideband, LS2 style"
CALC.BEN2_B   "BEN Factor Bank 2, Serial Wideband, LS2 style"
CALC.BEN1_E38 "BEN Factor Bank 1, Serial Wideband, E38 style"
CALC.BEN2_E38 "BEN Factor Bank 2, Serial Wideband, E38 style"

"Bank 1" and "bank 2" correspond to wide band controller 1 and wide band controller 2 respectively if you have two controllers.
Otherwise if you only have one wide band controller always use "Bank 1" - even if your O2 sensor is in bank 2.

Have you started with BBL beta firmware yet or are you trying to get to a point where you can begin beta testing? If you already have an older version of the BBL beta firmware then you need to use EFILive Explorer in the V8 folder to program FlashScan V2.

do you mean this? i have intsalled the first release of bbl beta software.
i have programmed V2.05.08 (bootblock) when i hit the refresh button V2.05.04 (bootblock) comes up
