btw, any plans for a linux based flasher? my macbook is the only laptop i have with a good battery and i run ubuntu linux on it via bootcamp. id love to be able to flash from that. ive been using my wifes laptop and it lasts a whopping 30 minutes on the battery.
You can run Nef flasher on a virtual machine. I'm using VirtualBox, has usb support and is free. http://www.virtualbox.org/ |

No plans for anything but support for Windows Vista/7 at the moment. Once the software is more stable, I will try to support Windows 2000 and XP. It would take too much time and effort to move to Mac or Linux because they don't support .NET 3.5.
I will look into finding out what is wrong with my logging system. It seems that sometimes the logs get cut off.

I noticed Microsoft offered me 2x a update on the .net thing. 3.5.1. Which is not removeable after installing b.t.w. (nice job microsoft).
I therefore re-installed completely win-7-32bit Ultimate, but withouth the update on the .net-thing, and the flasher is running again !
I tried installing those two updates on my Win-7-64bit Enterprise machine at the office, and I could still run the NefMoto flasher. I will test those two updates tonight on my Win-7-32bit Ultimate machine at home. I wasn't able to reproduce any issues on my Win-7-32bit Ultimate machine at home with all of the .NET updates installed. I will look into adding more logging to the program startup to see if I can figure out what the problem may be. |

Bug to report. I just tried connecting (reading ecu data and writing) to a 06A 906 032 LP 1.8T GTI. The program hangs on "Switching to KWP2000 session"
The log contains nothing

Can you double check the log file again. If you check the log before the program closes, you sometimes don't see everything. |

The program hangs, I have to end the task, and nothing appears in the log. I had some results getting a log from 1.4.0.2 which I've attached. |

Thanks for checking. I will investigate my logging code and see if I need to flush the data to the file or something. |

Hello,
I thought, why not modify the current only selectable memory-layout, and do 2 custom ones for the ME7.5 boxes ?
I've picked the B5 S4 one, and just renamed it to the according chip (800 chip). Then copied it, and corrected it
to be able to correctly read ME7.5 chips with a 400 chip inside.
What wonders me, is that only the 800-files doesn't grey-out the option to read the flashmemory. The 400-layout can't
read the flash. This option is greyed out ?!?
Also, the reading of the flash isn't successfull. Very strange... As i'm doing a bench-job with a bench-cable (only k-line
as of data connected, plus 12v voltage and ground). Via the same setup i can get proper connection via vagcom 311
and readout DTC's no problem. With the ME7.xx tool from Cartech and the kwp2000 interface i can also read-out the boxes
flashmemory. So it seems the hardware-setup should be o.k ?
I've added the extra memory-layout-files. If someone can take a look at them and comment if they're right or wrong ?
The results of my readouts is also viewable, i've added a archive with all tried&tested boxes. No write-attempts made, as i
firstly want them to read-out properly.
Tested boxes :
6K0 906 032 AA
8L0 906 018 M
8N0 906 018 BD
8N0 906 018 H
Thanks.
Pascal

The memory layouts were made as simple XML, so that users can always make their own. So what you did makes perfect sense.
I looked at your two layouts, and they look correct based on the AM29F800BB and AM29F400BB data sheets.
If the option to read is greyed out, then most likely there is an error in the memory layout or USB device. If there is an error, one of those fields in the user interface will appear red, and if you hover your mouse over top, it will tell you the problem.
As for the problem with reading, looking at the logs you posted, it appears as though the ECU is not allowing the programming diagnostic session to start. I will add more logging to the next release to try and record what is happening. Thanks for testing.

You guys are crazy. I'm surprised, but happy my code works while running inside a virtual Windows environment on a Linux machine. |

I've made lp ecu with 29F800BB memory layout, no problems apart from one or two failed attempts to connect. Pascal, I also had problems reading and writing on bench, have you tested with the ecu installed in the car? Try rising the priority of flasher to high in task manager. |

@ Tony : indeed the 400bb has an error in it.. i will have to find out what the correct Sum of Sectorsizes for that one has to be. The error stated (thanks for that hover-tip !) is : Sum of Sectorsizes does not match. @ ArgDub: Good thinking. Thanks for the head-up. Will try this asap on a audi S3 of a friend of mine in the UK coming thursday. Hopefully the read-option then also works on his 1meg me7.5 box. It has modified software in it... so it's quite a thrill to see if all works  I already tested that on the bench, and isn't it strange that 'on the bench' isn't as good as in the car ? Makes me wonder why.... Perhaps Tony or other forum-members can provide us some usefull info on this matter. Is the L-line perhaps also needed to trigger the ecu ? Or do we need a specific delay in signalling ? Thanks, Pascal |

I do all of my testing on the bench... my couch specifically. So no ideas from me....

Last time I tried flashing on bench I got "programming preconditions have not been met, Precondition unknown" but it was with first release. I'll try again with lastest version. Tony, could you add an option to force to use default timing and baud rate? |
