New beta release

Post by MiikaS »

New beta release of FastECU software is out for testing purposes and it can be found on FastECU github release page here.

New protocols is added and some new features, like UJ20/UJ30 unbrick method in bootmode and HC16 (wrx 01-05) unbrick method with BDM mode using Arduino board, tested with Arduino Pro Micro. BDM mode allows to read ROM and also upload kernel to RAM with write-option which allows then flashing ROM via K-Line like it is normally done. Instructions for UJ20/UJ30 is found from here and will be added later on FastECU. HC16 instructions will be added also later. External folder on FastECU development branch here includes Arduino code for HC16 BDM with pins to connect and picture of test points on PCB to connect.

There's not yet any user guide for it, but I try to do some when I have more free time. It is quite simple to use and any questions of "how-to" can be asked in info-section here.

Hi MiikaS,

Thanks for the work you have put into your project!

I have a Subaru Forester 2011 2.0 diesel and it has come up with that dreaded p1469 DPF clogged fault and de-rated.
After having researched some time back about tuning tools, I'd intended to use Romraider or Scoobyrom to work on my car if I had ever needed to as they were under active development for diesel at the time I was looking.
In the mean time "The Diesel Crew" have disappeared and not really left much behind.
I have an openport 2.0 and tried to use ECUflash to download the contents of my Rom, but it could not unlock my ECU.

So, I stumbled upon FastECU and I have tried out your Beta Release and can report that it was able to download my Rom using the openport 2.0 with no problems at all.
I did find a file for the diesel rom images, 32bitdieselbase.xml, however it causes romraider to crash when I try to load it and there doesn't seem to be anywhere to load up a "base" file in FastECU.
I also found the diesel definition xml, however it doesn't cover my specific calibration, though it looks quite easy to edit.
I have attached the diesel base file, with the calibration it was made from and the diesel definition xml if that will be of any use to your project, you may have already seen these.

What are the chances that FastECU will at some point be able to clear the p1469 fault code, reset soot, oil dilution and force a DPF Regen?
I'm not in a mega hurry to get my DPF sorted out, I'll manually clean it at some point and live with the DPF fault for a while.

Also in the beta version, the dropdown menu for "File" "edit" "tune" doesn't work unless you first click on the right edg of "tune" then go back along the menu to "file". I can live with it, but thought you'd like to know..

Cheers Mick

Hi Mick,

Nice to hear it worked for your ECU.

In definition file JP4A130A.xml there is address error in line 199. In file it is "c65e04" which is quite a lot out of ROM size. I think the zero is typo so it should be "c65e4". Also that def still does not match with ROM, there is many other maps too that don't look right.

Also, both def files, JP4A130A.xml and 32BITDIESELBASE.xml, are for EcuFlash. You can load them in FastECU by settings EcuFlash definitions directory in menu "Edit->Settings". For EcuFlash defs there is only directory as they are all separate files. For RomRaider needs to select files, as the filosofy for it is "one-file-for-all" and BASE defs are usually inside ECU def file.

There will be coming at least ECU reset/DTC clear options at some point, for other functions, I don't know yet.

For the not working dropdown menus, we have found the cause and it will be fixed on next version.

Thanks MiikaS. I'll check that out.

I also noticed that selecting in BUI communication, after hitting connect, there is no response from the controller and the program hangs. And it does this no matter what vehicle I have selected(I only tried a few). And with no cable connected at all, same.
I'm guessing that this section might not be complete/running yet for the changes you have made in the beta version.
