Latest S8C Firmware
Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2008 9:04 pm
This thread is for tracking the firmware builds for the Syvecs S8C ECUs. When a new release is available it will be added to the end of this thread.
Notes on Firmware Update:
Depending on what firmware you currently have... to what you want to run, many items can change in the software. When you reload/import the calibration again keep an eye on what settings did not copy across by selecting the Tag options Explained below
Updating Firmware:
First of all you need to grab the lastest firmware or firmware you wish to load onto the Ecu. This can be done by going to the specific product area on the Syvecs forum and in the sticky section there is an area called “lastest Firmware”
Once the firmware is download you need to find out what serial number your Ecu is…. This can be done by opening Scal and powering up the ecu. Then Click on DEVICE …. CONNECT...Scal will prompt you on how you wish to access this device and state a Serial number. The other way to see the firmware is by looking at the top of Scal when connected to the Ecu.
Before Proceeding below ensure you have a copy of your current Calibration!!!
Now you have the serial number, Close all of the Syvecs Suite programs and double click on the .exe firmware file you downloaded and power up the Ecu.
You will be prompted to enter a serial number. Do so and press Enter.
When the flash is complete press the SPACE Bar
Now open up Scal and power up the Ecu again. Connect to the ecu and when stated load default calibration by pressing D
Now you need to Import your map back into the ecu by select FILE and IMPORT. Select your current Map
The ecu will state which maps imported successfully and which that did not. Look at the ones that did not and check that the maps are populated to your choice. An Option is available to TAG all the items which have changed. Syvecs highly recommend this is done.
On Some Firmware updates the I/O Configuration area of Scal will change and some items will be Unassigned. In this case you need to select them and choose NOT CONNECTED if you are not using them.
Once done Select DEVICE and PROGRAM and the Ecu should come back to Connected with a green light
