Finally, we have released a new revision (version) of the Honda Edition - R8! We decided to discuss this, since the R8 is significantly different from the previous R7.

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.
What has changed?
Our plans for 2022 / What are your suggestions?
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!
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
