I am trying to build my own ECU and that makes me interested in how does Bosch ECU control it's low pressure fuel pump so that I can repeat that.

I know there is a 20Hz signal from ECU to fuel pump control module (not actual fuel pump) and my question is if it's open loop or closed loop? a curve or a map? what are relevant table names?

Open loop. KFNTBKS and KFFLAF control the pressure request > duty cycle conversion.

Looks like great work, keep going. I am also building my own ECU.
What MCU are you using?

But ecu measuring fuel pump pressure, comparing to an target and then makes changes on PWM signal, so that means its closed loop, isnt?

Thats a rusefi is it not? Then stm32 with tle8888 ?

yes, comparing actual pressure to target pressure in order to adjust PWM is closed loop.

this car has very different setups for low-pressure and high-pressure. right now I am trying to start it for the first time without high pressure pump control.

Wow, thank you for recognizing it Smiley yes, stm32 MCU and tle8888 which does not really help here and PT2001 for GDI control.

What about fuel rail pressure X injector flow curve or map? I can use map names of maybe even data screen shots pretty please.

I was able to run the engine for a second with pressure build by OEM ECU but at the moment I am flying totally blind in terms of injection duration.

If you are trying to make ecu for this engine, my experience with LPFP is the least important to solve for you. I just did some testing in real, and on one car, i modified PWM signal to controller, to be as a switch and instead pump it just switching relay, which sending full voltage before module to a stock pump. So pump runs 100% all time (hitting 5,8bar regulator value in fuel filter)   and then i modified many pressure request, trigger values to ecu target pressure just to follow pressure drop in WOT by rpm and not throw DTC in occasional few bar pressure difference in possitive way if engine is not in full load. That way i can run almost 400ps on stock fuel pump and faulty old module Smiley
As rail pressure is seperate system, i did not found any influence on injected fuel, running 1bar or 5bar before rail.
So in you situation, just switch pump by relay and not bother with it until solve engine management itself.

For low pressure I just do 50% duty cycle, for high pressure I am doing nothing so far.

Next step is to see if I can idle it on just low pressure fuel pump, that's why I am looking for at least some injector flow data.

OEM when there is some problem with Highpressure regulator, its just run 7bar on rail with limited throttle opening.

KLTIKRPR  is correction accroding rail pressure. Its same for 200hp or 265hp engine versions.
KLTVTSV is deadtime correction accroding rail pressure.

It measures low pressure to adjust the N276 on the high pressure pump. The ECU doesn't change duty cycle based on low pressure. It has a fixed lookup for duty against requested pressure vs fuel mass flow. If it over or under shoots, it won't correct. It'll just flag a fault if it trips a threshold.

My experience, when logging LFPF pressure and module DC,  i clearly see, when pressure undershooting, ecu rise the DC even up to alloved maximum limit(for example 92%). And also, when i rise KFFLAF values too much, i can see overshoot of pressure in situation wher fuel mass flow quickly rising(and fuel pump is strong enought) and then ecu adjust DC again, itself.
Maybe on other engines or software versions it behave differently, if so, its even degrading importance of managing LPFP system Smiley
