LB7/LLY DSP5 V2 Pre-Release software

Hi All,

Well to think these DSP5 updates have been sitting around since early 2008 waiting for final completion. So, finally I pushed everything aside and got them ready for public pre-release.

The update to the DSP5 Operating systems is to allow users with the V2 hardware to switch their tunes directly from the V2 with no hardwire switch needed. It also has another feature where the user can enter in a password in the tune file. The only way the ECM will accept the commands to switch tunes is by entering in the same password in the V2.

Obviously the idea behind this is to set up one of the DSP tunes as a valet mode then it's as simple as switching the valet mode on and taking the V2 with you (it should look nice in your partners handbag). The only way the tune can be switched out of valet mode is by entering the correct password in to the V2. Even if you unplug the ECM from the truck it will still be in valet mode until the V2 switches the tune.

The .tun file Operating systems numbers remain the same as the previous ones. You can also still use any existing scripts on the new DSP5 operating systems. The default mode for the switch input is for Hardwired, not Serial Data switched from V2.

There is no system in place to patch existing DSP5 tunes in to the new OS's. We may tend to that in the future depending on feedback, though it won't happen ASAP. For those wanting to convert just a few trucks running the existing DSP5 tunes you would be best off to create some new scripts to do this for you.

This release is considered as 'pre-release'. If you are not 100% confident in working with DSP tunes then you might want to sit back and see how others go.

Below are the two links to the new files.

DSP Upgrade Rev2.exe
DSP Upgrade Tutorial - Rev2.pdf

There is a self extracting rar archive and a new tutorial to download.

The file archive needs to be copied in to the following directory -
\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Calibrations

You should save the pdf tutorial in to this directory -
\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Doc\Tutorials

When you run the .exe in the folder shown above it will place the .calz file in the correct folders.
Please read through the tutorial, it should explain clear enough what needs to be done to use the updated operating systems.

Please post any problems in here if possible rather than spread over the various other Diesel forums, or at least provide a link on here to a question asked elsewhere.

And before anyone asks, this is only for LB7 and LLY, not LBZ/LMM.

Cheers,
Ross

Cool,Im going to play with this this weekend

It's all about timing - we need to have switchable via V2 fully operational in place for LBZ/LMM and full flashing. Until now, neither are/were in place.

In the next month or so full flashing should be implemented in development. This will give Ross the necessary tools to allow him to start the development of the DSP OS's for LBZ/LMM.

i am very interested in trying this but am worried about finding bugs:eek: is there still anything to worry about with this

Thank You

There is one reported issue with this for LB7, and no reported issues for LLY. Two users have reported that their LB7's idles down intermittantly. At this stage we haven't found the source of the issue, but I'd suggest you hold off until we've researched it further.

Cheers

We haven't had any problems reported with any of our recent releases with Vista.

The biggest problem with Vista is that it's setup like an auto pilot - everything you try to do that's "non standard" Vista questions whether you really need to do it. Once you disable it (ie run as administrator) your applications will work just fine.
