I'm using a Kingston 16GB card formatted FAT32 on the Frankenso powered from the car 12v. I'll try a small card to see if it makes a difference.

Some good news and some not-so-good news... Good news first. I agree with @puff - this looks like a mismatch between TS project version and firmware version. Theoretically the best practice is to re-create TS project every time you update firmware, and also to use matching console with it. Yes, crea...

To resolve the "PB6 req by GPS tx ..." issue you would need to set GPX pins to NONE. If same firmware and same settings I would expect both boards to just write SD logs, no revision-specific issues I am aware of. "SD enabled: Yes ... fs_ready=No" in your logs make me wonder if h...

Could you please post your latest working tune? I need to copy parts of it. Thanks! Sorry for the slow response, been busy with life etc. I just got the car going again after the out-of-car-body experience with reliability testing. Attached is current tune, and I have a few problems to ask about. 1...

The writing setup I used is up to date on the wiki now, sorry I forgot to mentioned that before.

Where can I get one those SD card thingies, and how does it connect to the board?

Tell me when to grab that new .pdf For a bare bones Miata ECU we do not need MAX9926 do not need TPIC8101 do not need FT232 - which leaves injector transistors as the most expensive part on the board which makes me wonder how to make it cheaper. Maybe use cheaper transistors at least for fuel pump ...

Were you able to see any signs of life from the discovery board? I checked my new rev D board with Windows to check driver revisions. discovery-revD.jpg My windows STM USB driver version I have looks like: st-link-debug-driver.jpg And my STM debug embedded firmware version is: st-link-upgrade.jpg To...

There's several reasons why your timing may be (or seem) off. 1) The Trigger Angle Offset was wrong. If so, fix it and move on with live 2) There's something mechanical going on with your engine .... Also: please post your timing table! Thanks for the help. I've been busy with reliability testing a...

Sorry, it's not up-to-date, and I didn't wire it very cleanly doing a little at a time. I'll try to update it to what I have.

My MAP is W46 Inp10 PA6.

russian wrote: ..version number in each image so that I will overwrite the older and always have two copies - current and previous.

Yes, sounds good.

This issue should be easy to address - we will write two copies each time we burn, we would need at least one on read. Hopefully power loss would only damage one copy of the configuration. How about keep an online copy and an offline copy, only update the offline copy, then swap pointers to make of...

I've been playing with the test script to drive the power cycle testing. The raspberry pi I'm using is not very fast and my python is not very efficient, sometimes loses some of the console output. I'll try a faster pi to see if it works better. The test sequence goes like this: 1. Start with ON-tim...

What about flash write cycles on the internal STM32 internal flash? It looks like these are only good for about 10,000 writes. Is there any wear leveling implemented for the space for writeconfig? See the app note: http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/application_note/ec/dd/8e/a...

but what will you get from it? even if you manage to detect a fault, you won't be able to reproduce it and track it back, will you? what's the current assumption? you get it destroyed when writing down config? We can try different write operations and vary the timing of power off to see what causes...

Here is the setup I made to try to reproduce a config corruption problem. See http://rusefi.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=660&start=270#p21437 power-cycle-testing.jpg I've done 7000+ power cycles with no problems on just a Discovery running board with a similar setup. And I'm working on this...

I agree that native USB with it's drivers complexity is not the bext option for the test planned, do you have any luck with text protocol over TTL poer at in http://rusefi.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=660&start=300#p21998 ? Sorry missed your earlier question. After updating to current firm...

It might work to close the serial connection to avoid the linux device driver weirdness, but it needs to be 100% reliable for this test. And I'm guessing that the problem is because of the port being open when the USB device resets. I suspect there are other problems. I always restart the java dev c...

The micro usb is a pain to use with linux. If the device is open, on reset the device name changes from /dev/ttyACM0 to /dev/ttyACM1, and changes back if you reset again. The test script could work with that but would be messy. How hard is it to change to support text console on the mini usb port?

russian wrote:Yep, you should be able to type commands right into this terminal connection.

Hmmm, I tried a few commands like sdinfo, writeconfig, fl 0, fl 1, but didn't see any output. I'll try again tonight.

I used dev console to disable binary_mode_console. And I'm using linux and python to drive the test. And to test out the setup I power up the board with PB1 pin grounded and connect the FTDI USB port to a dumb terminal program and see output like this: Idle Valve on PB:9 line:22:msg,Idle Valve on PB...

I will hold off on gluing anything down. I think I can attach a metal tab to the side of the case easy enough to get the effect that kb1gtt described. I have some adhesive thermal pads I could try also to get the tab to contact the package without being permanent. I'll try this later on. Right now I...

As next step of endurance testing can we try adding set_int 2472 100 writeconfig set_int 2472 101 writeconfig set_int 2472 102 writeconfig And adding power off with a random delay after writeconfig? My set up can now turn on the board for a specific length of time in milliseconds via serial connect...

As next step of endurance testing can we try adding set_int 2472 100 writeconfig set_int 2472 101 writeconfig set_int 2472 102 writeconfig I'll try to get it going. And I agree with @kb1gtt that doing incremental sweep would better than random timing. Right now the power on/off setup is very dumb. ...

The starting conditions for the temperature measurments were from McKinney, Texas around 3pm Dec. 31, 2016 2:53 PM 66.9 °F 44.1 °F 44% 29.77 in 10.0 mi WSW 6.9 mph - N/A Clear ambient in the car was 22 to 25C 2nd file starts at about 4:30pm, but there is not another weather station along the route, ...

Here is more temperature data after doing a 300 mile drive with the thermocouple in the same place. Ambient temp was 22 to 28C for the first two files, and cooler on the 3rd file, temp dropped to about 16C. I didn't look at the data, but watching the meter occasionally, the highest I saw was about 6...

Do you still have a 1.6L engine in this car? What do you have set for TS Trigger Angle Offset? Is that the same setting as set_global_trigger_offset_angle? I discovered my timing was way off on my '90 Miata. I checked with the timing light and it looks like 10 or 12 degrees off. 10 degrees on the ig...

This looks to be http://rusefi.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1027 Long story short - you need to update st-link firmware (ST-Link Utility->Update firmware), and that seem to fix the issue I got it working and ran it through 7600 power cycles will no problems. This was using an arduino to contro...

How about a test rig set up with discovery that turns on power and watches for serial data to confirm config is sane? It could run a few seconds then repeat and stop if the config changed. I could probably get my son set that up since he is off school for Christmas. Worth a try! As is firmware uses...

10С ambient - you mean literarily on the floor, inside the car? could you please remind, where exactly in car you installed your ecu? ... The 90 Miata ecu mounts to the fire wall at the passenger's feet. I have the frankenso on the floor not bolted in yet. Case was open for this test. Cabin temp at...
