This initial release includes a Windows GUI binary in "release.zip" which is built using py2exe.

The Windows GUI has the following features:

  • Flash "BIN" containing any blocks (CBOOT, ASW, CAL) for Simos 18.1, 18.10, DQ250-MQB.
  • Flash "Calibration" only for Simos18.1, 18.10, DQ250-MQB.
  • Flash FRF for Simos18.1, 18.10, DQ250-MQB DSG.
  • Extract FRF to BIN for Simos12, 16, 18.1, 18.41, 18.6, 18.10, DQ250-MQB DSG.

Flashing a custom calibration or ASW to a Simos ECU requires it be unlocked (RSA Off), which currently requires the command line. Once it's unlocked, the GUI functionality works completely.

This Windows binary should support J2534 hardware which supports the STMIN_TX IOCTL. It has been tested with genuine Tactrix OpenPort.

It will also support flashing over USB-Serial using a prerelease Macchina A0 firmware found at https://github.com/Switchleg1/esp32-isotp-ble-bridge . This firmware is still under active development.

Unfortunately, due to issues with the py2exe build, it does not yet support Bluetooth Low Energy using the same firmware.

The source code and command line application (VW_Flash.py) corresponding to this version additionally supports BLE using the same A0 firmware, as well as SocketCAN on Linux, and unlock flashing and CBOOT patching. Please see the project README for more.
