	ME7Check: Checksum checker for ME7 « on: March 10, 2011, 04:47:59 AM »

Here's a tool to verify if the checksums are fine in a ME7 image.
You can use it for quick checking before flashing, to avoid
"bad checksum - car won't start"-problem after your first trip.
Or just verify the files you post have really fixed checksums (seems
like plugins sometimes not run as intended Wink

).

P.S. it's a command line tool.
Call it from a command window, e.g. cmd.exe or a cygwin shell.
If called without arguments you will see the usage:
C:\Program Files\ME7\bin>ME7Check.exe
ME7Check v1.08 (c) mki, 06/2004-04/2011
Usage: ME7Check <bin-file>

170311: updated, fixed bootrom checks
190411: updated, fixed handling of ecus with unused boot sector in flash
030811: updated:
Added RSA signature checking (for ecus containing a signature).
Added some output further specifying the fault class(es) found:
  - Romsys checksum failure(s) found
  - Program checksum failure(s) found
  - Page checksum failure(s) found
  - RSA signature failure found
  - Data area checksum failure(s) found
  - Overall checksum failure found
The last one (overall checksum) seems to be more of cosmetical nature.
Is often not fixed in giac files, which are nevertheless running without problems.

260911, updated V1.11:
better (flexible) recognition of checksum ranges and toleration of some APR hacks.
-> allows to check correctly more images

160512, updated V1.12:
recognition of wrong filesize: 1MB file, 512kB ecu and vice versa -> give better information about this

- To make things simple place both ME7Check.exe and the .bin file you want to verify in your home directory. For XP that will be C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername

- Open the Windows Command Prompt program (Start > Run > cmd). By default the shell will locate you in your home directory (at least on XP).

- Execute ME7Check by running: ME7Check.exe nameofyourfile.bin

I am working with Linux and with cygwin under Windows (excellent environment if you are
used to work with GNU tools). I use MinGW to avoid dependency on the cygwin library.
Have no clue about windows programming, therefore my programs are just command line
tools, to be used in a shell window. Sorry for all Mouse-click-windows users.
If you need a linux version, I have added it to the first post.

I agree. cygwin makes Windows almost usable for things other than games.

btw any chance you'd post the source? I'll set up a git/svn repo if you like

This community really needs people willing to collaborate and publish code.

Yes, stand alone executable is all good and so on but what we really need is a plug in for tunerpro for exmaple.

Very cool! Would you be willing to update it to include ME7.1.1 from the Audi TT, VW R32 etc? I can supply stock flash files.
