We are expanding! CobraRTP + mirobuilds

mirobuilds cobra

We must announce the expansion of the production geography, and from this moment the company mirobuilds from France officially produce CobraRTP Honda Edition!

This means that our most requested product will be more accessible to customers in France and other EU countries, due to the growing demand for Honda OBD0/1 tuning solutions, which is increasingly difficult for us to satisfy alone!

CobraRTP Honda Edition R9. Latest for Honda OBD0/1.

cobrartp

We should inform you that we are finishing further development of solutions for OBD0/1, and start moving towards solutions for Honda K-series.

And the latest of its kind will be the new CobraRTP Honda Edition R9!

What’s new, unlike R8 and previous ones:

-New structure that has no buffer SRAM to be real time!

-The size of the board is smaller by 5mm

-More reliable hardware

-Added vertical board fixer

At the moment, this is the simplest schematic that has only one memory chip, no separate USB-controller and no FPGA / CPLD.

Modernization. Refusal of USB controllers.

After finding some time for research activities, we decided to simplify and thereby improve our main products based on ARM microcontrollers (STM32), which are FlashOnline, CobraRTP Honda Edition and MotronicRT.

Background

All our devices with a USB interface communicate with a PC as a USB-COM bridge (virtual COM port). To do this, we used USB controllers as separate microcircuits, which are tasked with coordinating communication between the PC and the device's processor.

Our plans for 2022 / What are your suggestions?

news 2022 cobrartp

Recently, all efforts have been thrown into the completion of FlashOnline, as well as to overcome the difficulties with the global shortage of chips, which forced us to find new reliable suppliers and choose delivery times and ultimately fulfill orders. The cost of production increased due to the rise in prices for electronic components, but we did not change the cost of the final product.

Live maps is already available on FlashOnline!

Siemens ms41 ms43 me7 edc15 live map tracing

Hardware table tracing is a function that allows you to keep track of which areas of memory the ECU processor is accessing. In other words, you can observe the coordinates in the maps of interest, according to which the ECU is working at a particular moment in time. To accomplish this, this function is supported in TunerPRO RT.

Promotion of works with FlashOnline and more ...

We are glad to inform you that all work on the first FlashOnline release is coming to an end! To date, the main tasks have been solved:

  • Write / read memory in real time without disrupting the operation of the ECU.
  • The download time for the full 512kB firmware (29F400) takes about 6-7 seconds, which exceeded all our expectations!
  • TunerPRO RT now officially fully supports FlashOnline, in cooperation with Mark Mansur, for which he has a huge respect!
  • Dual-mode firmware. This function is also implemented for the following memory types: 28F200, 29F200, 29F400

New project: Flash Online - flash memory emulator (29F200 / 400 / 800)

flash online rtp moates roadrunner ols300

Due to numerous requests, the development of a new project was started: a real-time memory emulator for ECUs with 16-bit flash memory, such as 28F200 / 400/800 and 29F200 / 400/800 (256-1024kB).

Assigned targets:

  • Live tuning! Editing ot the MAPs/full ROM in real time mode.
  • Online software support - TunerPRO RT
  • Support for hardware table / map tracing (Address hit tracing)
  • Work with any software through CobraRTP Utility in live mode, (read / write firmware in .bin format)
  • The ability to upload and use 2 firmware (full) with subsequent switching in real time without the participation of a PC (dual mode Dual-mode)

What does it give and what is the difference from “firmware” via OBD connector (in boot mode)?

Indeed, most ECUs with this type of memory (except 28Fxxx) are easily "flashed" through the diagnostic connector (OBD), which does not require intervention in the hardware of the control unit. But, if you need not just load the finished firmware into the ECU, but adjust the ECU for an engine with a non-standard configuration?

TunerPRO RT Tutorial

Introduction

In this article we will talk about tuning ECUs Motronic (Bosch), GM, DSM (Mitsubishi), Jetronic, etc.: BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Chevrolet and not only, with external EPROM memory: 27c128, 27c256, 27c512, 27f512, etc. This is a relatively outdated ECU cars 80-90-ies. Many tuners will say that the ECU data is not "chipable” or setting up ECU data is very difficult, and the best solution is to install a "sports" control unit such as MegaSquirt, Vems, AEM, Haltech, etc., but due to the hardware primitiveness, fortunately, there are currently ways for these cars to fully configure online. For this purpose, there are memory emulators that allow you to detect the memory chip with the ability to change the memory dump (ECU firmware) in real time using special software for editing calibrations. The advantages of setting up a standard control unit, as opposed to installing an external one, are: maintaining a standard diagnostic system; no need to replace or rework standard wiring; no need to replace or supplement sensors; no need to coordinate on-board control units with the engine ECU.
