Title: replacing 29f400 chip
Post by: littco on August 08, 2011, 07:32:55 AM
Quick question. I had got a new chip for my edc15 ecu, as it can't be bootmoded to recover. Do I need to flash the chip prior to installing or can I install and then flash once on board the ecu. Just wondered if a fresh new chip can be written to over obd or whether it needs flashing with a willem program 1st. Cheers

You can program a blank chip in boot mode, but for it to be OBD flashed it needs to have a checksummed .bin on it first.

Brilliant, thank you. Also are there any issues putting a 29f800 chip in the place of a 29F400 chip?
