Title: 29F800 in 512kB C-Box Post by: Tirbsi on March 19, 2017, 12:58:01 PM Hi,
is it possible to replace the 29F400 in a C-Box with a 29F800 and flash for example an M-Box file on it? Would that work, or are there differences within the ECUs? Regards, Patrick Title: Re: 29F800 in 512kB C-Box Post by: _nameless on March 19, 2017, 07:01:10 PM yes

Yes prj MOST are NOT interchangintereable but you are wrong in this case I've read this, but I want to do it the other way round. Run 1024kB data on a 512kB ECU (with 1024kB flash of course).

Yes prj MOST are NOT interchangintereable but you are wrong in this case And what is there to gain by running a double stock bin.. I highly doubt the OP wants to solder in a new flash to keep using his 512kb file ;) Title: Re: 29F800 in 512kB C-Box Post by: prj on March 20, 2017, 07:22:01 AM It's beem discussed here in the past guys would take old 512files and stack the rom twice and it would run on a 1mb flash chip on the b5 s4. Yes prj MOST are NOT interchangintereable but you are wrong in this case Try it the other way around and see. Have you actually done this or are you talking out of your ass?Yes, you can stack 551C twice into a newer ECU, but the newer ECU versions have some calls to functions which are not present in 551C bootrom... I know for a fact 551K won't run on it, because I actually tested it, and if you read the two roms with minimon you can see that some code is missing. |
