bFlash Update V1910A

Bench protocols for Temic based TCU’s!

These new protocols allow full read and write of the Transmission Unit.
Internal flash memory, Internal EEPROM and external EEPROM can be read & written.

 

Q&A

Do I need to buy an extra bFlash module ?
Of course not! This protocol is active now, for all our active users.

 

How fast is it ?
Based on the TCU model, read times goes from 25 seconds up to 1 min 45.
Classic tuning file flash will be carried out in under 30 seconds, full cloning will be around 5 minutes.

 

How do I connect to the TCU ?
Our technical partner Chiptuningshop has developed a wide range of cable and quick adapters.
The recommended minimum is the universal TCU bench cable (GC-10001):

What if I want to save time and use a premade quick TCU cable ?
That is also possible! Have a look at the wide range of direct connection cables:

bTrace standard LIVE!

A new way to view AND use datalogs to help improve your overall quality while working on that bespoke tuning file!

bTrace Standard allows you to view live or replay log data in WinOLS. Accessible from bLog, bTrace Standard is compatible with all available logging protocols.

To link your bFlash to WinOLS the OLS1011 plug-in must be installed.

This plug-in enables bTrace to connect and will also be used for bFlash slave files (.sbdc) decoding in WinOLS pretty soon!

bTrace step-by-step instructions

==================================================================

Requirements :

– You must possess a registered and up to date version of WinOLS.
https://chiptuningshop.com/product/winols-editor/

– The plugin OLS1011 is required for Live connection.
https://www.evc.de/en/product/ols/plugins_detail.asp?cksName=OLS1011

How to establish a live connection?

Step 1 – WinOLS : Open your WinOLS project
Step 2 – bFlash : Go to Measurement > Make a measurement.
Step 3 – bFlash : Select matching datalogging protocol & press continue.
Step 4 – bFlash : Select the variables you wish to review.
Step 5 – bFlash : Press Start to enable connection between car and bLog and display actual data.
Step 6 – WinOLS : Go to Window > Visualizer : click Connection button. [connection status is also visible in bFlash]
Step 7 – WinOLS : Assign available variables to X and Y axis of the map.

 

Stay tuned for our upcoming bTrace Advance Plugin that will allow Live Emulation!
This module will require user provided A2L & compatible ECU.

bFlash Update V1906A – MED9 / EDC16 Bench Mode

MED9 / EDC16 Bench Solution!

A common way to tune or clone Bosch MED9 and EDC16 control units is BDM. This requires to open the ECU, connect to the 14 pin BDM port, proceed, then reseal and close the unit.

Some units also require the board to be flipped to access the BDM port. Well… No more.

At bFlash, rather than releasing another BDM in 2019, we decided to provide our users a modern & innovative solution to work with legacy ECUs :

Bosch MED9 & EDC16 solution – full iFlash, eFlash and Eeprom access from the ECU connector.
