BB Logging beta update: May 06, 2008

[Blacky]

IMPORTANT
IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO,
YOU MUST UPDATE FLASHSCAN'S BOOT BLOCK TO V2.05.08(0426)
BEFORE
YOU ATTEMPT TO UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE TO V2.05.16 OR LATER.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to use boot block V2.05.06 (released March 26, 2008).
See this link for more info on what is wrong with V2.05.06

This download includes and supersedes all previous BBL beta downloads.

The Readme_First.pdf file included in the zip file has not been updated, except to reflect the new version numbers.

The FlashScan AutoCal V2.5 Release Notes _beta_.pdf file has some important "Known Issues" documented for EFILive_Explorer.exe. Please read them.

The FlashScan AutoCal V2.5 Quick Reference _beta_.pdf file has been updated to reflect the new "System Readiness Tests Status" option.

Make sure you update your FlashScan (and/or AutoCal) firmware and boot block using the latest *.ffw files from the \Program Files\EFILive\V8\EFILive_Hapi\ folder.

For those of you waiting for the AutoCal beta test firmware, I have been waiting for the boot block and firmware to be stable. I am confident the firmware is now stable and I will be releasing the AutoCal boot block and firmware in the next update.

Note: To all AuotCal beta testers, I have not shipped the updated AutoCal units yet. I expect to ship them this week, now that the boot block is stable.

Glad the VIN licenses on the V2 work properly now, but still in the Tune tools' FS V2 Licensing window the flash counters are still flipped...

Ahhhh that is annoying, I originally noticed they were back to front, so I swapped them around. Then I got a report that said they were back to front, so I just assumed I had got it wrong and so I swapped them back again.
I will get it right next time...

V2 got tthe right VIN but wrong OS (19980200). My car has OS 19980400, however I was able to log DMA PIDs.

I've attached a trace file in case you want to look at it. I realize that it is not a problem now as logging works, but I was wondering about down the line when reading and writing is implemented.

This explains why:

However, some DMA PIDs will be wrong because of the OS mismatch.

The following PIDs will not return correct results for you PCM:

GM.LTFT_DMA
GM.EST_BASE_DMA
GM.EST_ECT_DMA
GM.EST_EGR_DMA
GM.EST_IAT_DMA
GM.EST_CAT_DMA
GM.EST_EQR_DMA
GM.EST_SMT_DMA
GM.EST_IDLE_DMA
GM.EST_TRQ_DMA
GM.EST_KRB_DMA
GM.EST_CRANK_DMA
GM.EST_RUN_DMA
GM.IAC_STD_DMA
GM.IAC_STPN_DMA
GM.IAC_STDAC_DMA
GM.IAC_STPNAC_DMA
GM.IAC_FRICTION_DMA
GM.IAC_TC_DMA
GM.IAC_TF_DMA
GM.IAC_OT_DMA
GM.IAC_PARK_DMA
GM.IAC_WD_DMA
GM.IAC_WPN_DMA
GM.IAC_DFCO_DMA
GM.IAC_FAN_DMA
GM.IAC_CATL_DMA
GM.IAC_AC_DMA
GM.CYLAIR_DMA
GM.DYNCYLAIR_DMA

The following PIDs will return correct results for your PCM:

GM.LTFT_RPM_DMA
GM.LTFT_MAP_DMA
GM.TRANS_DMA
GM.VSSLIMIT_DMA
GM.FAN1ON_DMA
GM.FAN1OFF_DMA
GM.FAN2ON_DMA
GM.FAN2OFF_DMA
GM.FANTYPE_DMA
GM.4WD_DMA
GM.IAC_LTD_DMA
GM.IAC_LTPN_DMA

We are working on a solution...

I will make sure I only log the ones that will log correct data. I assume that none DMA PIDs are okay.

Will the DMA PIDs that are incorrect for my car be okay for a friend's car that is OS 19980200 or is the problem with all 1998 C5's?

I,m sure I missed it somewhere else, but...
Is there a pid for the plx serial when logging via computer?

Whatever, I dont really mind as its not a HUGE thing. Just something Ive noticed and this is a beta testing period, right?

[Cougar281]

Don't know if you meant it, but it looks like my BRFRP and BRFPR PSLs for the LB7 where left in.

I missed the last two updates. Someone with a 99+ LS1 Manual using this update? Everything still working, DMA pids and all?
