NefMoto ECU Flashing Software

2011-09-01T05:14:36Z

Archimense: /* Supported ECUs */

=Overview=
The NefMoto ME7 ECU flasher is a free tool that allows you to read and write the flash memory in your ME7 ECU in car over the OBD port. All that is required is a FTDI based USB OBD cable that works in "dumb" mode. Dumb mode cables pass the raw serial data straight through without applying any higher level protocols.

==Features==
*ECUs can be written through the OBD port in about three and half minutes.
*ECUs can be read through the OBD port in about five minutes.
*User defined memory layouts allow for flashing any memory arrangement.
*Writing erases and programs one memory sector at a time to allow you to recover the ECU in case of failure.
*Written and read data is verified with checksums to ensure data was sent correctly.
*Reading and clearing error codes is also supported.

==What this software does not do==
*Does not update [[checksums]] or validate the file you are flashing in any way.
*Does not allow you to edit any maps, value, etc. It is just for flashing.

==System requirements==
*32bit or 64bit Windows Vista or Newer (Will work if run inside a virtual Windows machine on Mac and Linux as well)
*.NET 3.5 (installed automatically with Nefmoto ECU flashing software)
*FTDI USB D2XX driver version 2.06.00 or later
*3 megabytes of free hard drive space

==Known issues==
*No known issues. Please [http://www.nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?action=post;topic=413.0 let Tony know] if you find any.

=Installation=
==Download==
The Nefmoto ECU flashing software is free to download and use. The latest release can be found here: [http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php/topic,691.0title,.html NefMoto ME7 Flashing Software Release 1.8.0.0]

==How to install==
*Please uninstall any previous versions of the NefMoto ME7 ECU Flasher before installing the latest version.
*Run ECUFlasherHostInstaller 1.8.0.0.msi.
*Ensure that you have the FTD2XX driver installed for your specific cable.
*If you have a generic cable, download CDM20600.zip (link above), then extract it and install the generic FTDI D2XX driver.

=Use=
''This section needs some love, please contribute!''
*Connect your vehicle's battery to a constant, stable power source. This is vital, if the ECU loses power or voltage dips during any flashing operation recovery may require flashing through [[ECU Boot Mode]] or worse.
*Connect your flashing cable to your vehicle's OBD port.
*Turn on your ignition (but do not start the car). If the cable has an LED light it should illuminate.
*Select the memory layout for your ECU.
*At the top of the program choose Fast or Slow Init and Connect
*Choose one of the program options (Read/Write/etc)
*You will notice the activity in the console window
*When your operation is complete, choose Disconnect at the top of the program.

=Supported cables=
==Tested supported cables==
*eBay USB VAG KKL using the FTDI D2XX standard driver (Non-affiliated eBay stores: [http://stores.ebay.com/easybid2000 1] [http://stores.ebay.com/alpha-bid 2])
*[http://ross-tech.com/ Ross-Tech] [http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/hex-usb+can.html HEX-USB-CAN] using the Ross-Tech FTDI D2XX driver ("boot in intelligent mode" must be unchecked in the VCDS options screen)
*Any dumb OBDII cable using the FTDI USB chip

==Tested unsupported cables==
*Galletto (Does not support dumb mode)
*KWP2000+ Flasher (Does not support dumb mode)
*Old Ross-Tech KEY-USB (Does not support true dumb mode)
If you want to check what chip is in your cable, or see if it supports NefMoto premium features, you can use the NefMoto ECU Flasher version 1.6.1.0 or later. Just select the USB device and then hover your mouse over it. It will display all of the info about the FTDI chip in the cable and say if it supports premium NefMoto features.

Archimense:

=Reading the ECU=
To read your car's stock file from the ECU you can use Tony's free [[NefMoto ECU Flashing Software]]. It is the easiest and best supported method. You will need a cheap [[NefMoto ECU Flashing Software#Supported cables|flashing cable]].

If someone goes wrong you will want to have a [[Galletto 1260 Flashing Cable]] to hopefully rescue the ECU in [[ECU Boot Mode|boot mode]] (a lower level protocol).

=Map Editing=
To change your ECU tune will require map editing software. [http://tunerpro.net Tunerpro] is a free map editor. [http://www.evc.de/en/product/ols/software/default.asp WinOLS] is a more expensive map editor. Most people use TunerPro.

TunerPro will need a definition file (.XDF) for the ECU file you want to edit. This tells TunerPro where the various maps and relevant data are in the file. There are several XDFs posted in the [http://www.nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php/board,30.0.html Nefmoto Definition File subforum]. Many are works in progress; if you find an error please let the author know.

You will need knowledge of which maps perform what tasks and what data should be changed. Read the [http://s4wiki.org/wiki/Tuning S4Wiki.org tuning guide] and the [http://www.nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php/board,2.0.html Nefmoto tuning subforum].

=File Checksums=
Your ECU file has several internal [[Checksums|checksums]] that need to be updated when the file is altered. If these checksums are incorrect the car will not start. Or worse, it may start once or twice and catch the invalid checksum and leave you stranded. A lot of guys carry around a spare known working ECU as insurance.

More info about checksums: [http://www.andywhittaker.com/en-us/ecu/boschmotronicme71.aspx Andy Whittaker's site].

[http://www.mtx-electronics.com/automotive/page.php?25 MTX-electronics] sells an affordable TunerPro plugin that will correct checksums for ME7.

=Flashing the ECU=
Writing/flashing your tuned file back to the ECU is the same as the reading process above. Again, use the [[NefMoto ECU Flashing Software]].

=Logging=
Keep close track of how your car is performing after each tune revision.
*Vag-Com to check [http://s4wiki.com/wiki/LTFT LTFTs] (long term fuel trims) and other things.
*APR's ECUx. Not really supported anymore.
*We're hoping for more logging options in the near future.

=Contribute=
The open source VW/Audi ECU community is evolving nicely. Please help give back by providing your feedback and helping others.
