Re: What chip is inside ford eec*?

@russian I am not very familiar with the PPC variants. I'd open up my one PPC based eec-V for a look but Ford likes to put random part numbers on things instead of industry PNs.

Re: What chip is inside ford eec*?

The Ford EEC-V runs a chip that is somewhat similar to an 8096 from an instruction perspective that includes substantial analog and time base circuits to support ECU duties. The family number is 8065 ( 8061 was in EEC-IV ) and they have bank switched RAM/ROM address space for a 256MB logical space a...

Re: VR + knock module

With the VR inputs ( and hall inputs also ) you need to be wary of catching the correct crossing point or the missing tooth will be off by almost 1 tooth.

Re: How about other dev boards?

It also seems that in several instances the STM32F3 series is better suited for automotive ( mixed signal ) use than the F4. I know the power of the F4 is tempting but it sure looks like there are more useable features on the F3 and the discovery board is even cheaper. http://www.st.com/web/en/catal...
