XPROG-BOX CERTIFICATE

[MrWho]

I had this on a dead 2002 Volvo V70 dash the other day. Never had it before. I scoped each connection and to get it working I had to lift the BKGD pin which had a crappy waveform. Anyway, it then read.

So try scoping each pin connection on your TMS and see if there are any distorted waveforms and lift accordingly. Worth a try.

How do you connect it to scope?
I have one but not sure how to use

Btw is there a way to add mac support on clone xprogm

Thank you

try whit search bottom

upgrade xprog to 5.0 and problem solved

read post brother

[imoturbo]

we can use etl or cas4 for hc08

[imoturbo]

we can upgrade xprog clone but be carfull first reading original dump of your xprog

xprog-m clone update see post #52:

Here is my idea about authorizations:

Attached screenshot shows extracted eeprom part of "elchips" firmware file. (sorry, elprog, I have to put a screenshot here, I can't explain without the picture).
Looking at the marked part, you'll see it consists of 5AA5 and A55A blocks. Now look at the authorizations screen of our xprog-m programmer. In case of full authorizations, we'll have total of 22 lines, 9th line is "Development tools" and shows "-" instead of "authorized". ARM micronas are two last lines, which are not authorized in our case.
Now look again at our screenshot - let's make a presumption that 5AA5 means "authorized", and A55A means "not authorized" or "-".
That idea works perfect for first 15 lines - we have 8 authorized lines, one not authorized and then 6 authorized.
Now comes a little messy part: 11 A55A's, 3 5AA5's, 1 A55A, 2 5AA5's and finally 8 A55A's.
Counting in total, we have 19 "authorized" lines (what is good), and we need 21 to make ARM micronas authorized, too.
According to that logic, two of eight A55A's in last "unauthorized" block must be changed to 5AA5 to become "authorized".

Maybe I'm totally wrong, but somehow it seems to me this could work. Because I repaired my xprog-m programmer in other way, and now works 100%, I would like someone (Bram380 maybe?) to test my idea.
Of course, I don't know will this work at all, what about checksums etc. - it's only an idea...

I quote this post to explain adding authorization for new DKs

Authorization are arranged in eeprom from 1- 44, some of them used and many reserved for future development .

as you see 9th is development tool change it to 5AA5 you well get it authorized , micronas is not number 22 or 23 its above 40 .

all thanks to Matekhr.

Now think how to disable counter

[bram380]

Authorization store at data_memory atmega.
So you can modify this bit to enable or disable authorization.

Hi Guys,

What line controls the new Mac authorization?
Can clone be updated 5.3.8 what do use to read atmega do you do it in circuit?

Could you please post Atmega dump with full authorizations including MAC .. so we can write our atmegas.

Thx

Mac control (SW) part must be built into the desktop SW first which doesn't exist in v5.0 but v5.3.x. If you install v5.3.x you face another problem, registeration code.

I think i know how he do this
He wrote atmega with 5.0 dump but without lockbits and then he updated xprog with xprog-box software.
Lockbits are not enabled so you could simply read it by ISP.
Now you can make clones of your Xprog-Box.

DK activation of xprog-box ?

xprog 5.3 or 5.0,?

[wyz1056]

hi,bram380,
have you 5.3x box atmega dump?

[spychu14]

Anyone planned to update his xprog-m to box ?
