Just seen this (on holiday at the moment). to learn from scratch without SAD, the 8061 is based upon a 8096 core cpu, so that disassembler 'sort of' works. 8065 seems to be a unique extension as far as I can tell (i,e, no 8096 equivalent). You can still find some stuff on 80C196 CPU (which is pretty...

Some interesting history there... I was already wondering about the idea of a software 'engine model' (the idea of fuel, spark, throttle to get a basic rpm response) for a complete emulation of an EEC. So the fact that Ford did it (or partly did it) makes perfect sense to me. Interesting stuff about...

Yep, that's all I was trying to say - that there IS stuff around which could run that ancient software. May be hard, may not be.... don't know. As I understand it - The emulators *themselves* are 32 or 64 bit, but they present/emulate a 16 bit address range. Virtualbox/VMware actually use the 16 bit...

Cgrey, Actually that's NOT TRUE !! There are quite a few 16 bit emulators which run perfectly on modern 64 bit computers. Even common virtual machine systems (Virtualbox, VMware) have 'DOS Mode' options, which are 16 bit (but expect x86 programs). There are emulators for many, many 'foreign' hardwar...

No doubt they did, but don't know what. We used to 'burn' PROMS for quite a bit of custom stuff (for example old style map displays before full graphics) and the equipment was standard common stuff which would burn a range of (std) PROMS in various sizes. On the basis the Ford ROM was itself special...

I found a bug in the symbol naming in SAD, and whilst checking this out I realised I had missed the fact that the 8065 CPU has the ability for FOUR different functions for its special registers - by SIZE (word or byte) , READ, WRITE. I had done read and write options for symbol naming for 8061, but ...

Agree totally. When doing an engine build, there are a few 'common' mistakes which we can all make, and as embarrassing as they are at the time, it sure helps with the learning curve for the next one ..... Stuff I, or friends have managed to do (European engines mostly ...) Dizzy 180 degrees out. In...

Good stuff !! Does it still use my 'C' code (compiled) with a Java front end ?? I ask as I'm completely ignorant of Android and 'smart device' type OSes, being one of those ex-tech types that has a phone for actually *talking* to people and nothing else. But I do know Android is based on Linux. I di...

Just reread this and I have a comment to all ..... Are you sure the VAM maxes out that early ? 3k seems too early for a 4 cyl OHC airflow. Several European engines with VAF/VAM setups ran OL ALL THE TIME as they were still leaded gas, and had no EGO at all. They never ignore the VAM, but add fuel (v...

Yes, there is (rightly) a lot of reuse. For example, so far I've only seen 2 1D lookup (function) code versions (OK some with minor variations) and 2 versions of the 2D code (tables). Why reinvent something which works ?? Mathematically and codewise, the way the 2D data is interpolated is very neat ...

Update - I feel like I'm stuck in the "all alike maze" in the old text adventure game "...you are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike..." in a kind of multifaceted catch 22.... To cover THIS bit I need logic to do THAT, but THIS bit in CARD needs it to work differently, and THIS bit in he...

Just posting for extra info (which is useful I hope). I don't know if this is a new problem or part of the original one, so adding it here.... Firefox was working OK on my desktop (Xubuntu 18) until yesterday, but now comes up with ... -------------------------- eectuning.org uses an invalid securit...

DAMN !!! Well I *was* making progress, until I came across THIS... (from CARD) 4459: f9 stc CY = 1; 445a: cc,18 pop R18 R18 = pop(); 445c: b2,19,1a ldb R1a,[R18++] R1a = [R18++]; 445f: b2,19,1b ldb R1b,[R18++] R1b = [R18++]; 4462: b2,19,1c ldb R1c,[R18++] R1c = [R18++]; 4465: b2,19,1d ldb R1d,[R18++...

After watching the video............ Fascinating, and probably all true. I had already read about the fear that corporates (M$ especially) were covertly planning their standard methods for takeover, and it already did look scary. This video explains a bit more (but not a shock to me). Also for me, I...

I haven't watched the video yet, but some immediate comments.... As you know I have used UNIX and proprietary OSes in the past, and only a little under the Windoze series. I did hardly any commercial development on Windoze,as I was normally in the 'server' end of things, but I did play quite a bit w...

Just a quick update, and start a new topic... I have A9L working with auto detect of subroutine variable arguments, but it has a 'kludge' in it which I don't really like. At the moment it only shows a list of bytes as arguments, as that is how they are read off. Next step is to work out how they get...

Just seen this thread. Don't ever forget the three principle points of large scale manufacture for pretty much everything, including cars and white goods. C-A-N = Cheap. Adequate. Nasty. These guys all shave every last dollar they can from everything. No, that's not cynical, that's business. How to ...

Bob, Yes looks like that's true ... I've found this snippet which is a little shorter, and DOES store a word via indirect STW, but R4 and R5 still read as separate bytes. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to have any DI, EI protection around it that I can find. (AA) 213b: b0,bb,04 ldb R4,Rbb AD_Cmd = R...

Yep, I think we're all in agreement here ! JSA, Yes, dead right. if you DID move the enable, then you would indeed have to make sure R34 and R35 in that example were not written to by anything else. I also wonder why Ford didn't simply do a LDW to get both registers in one hit, and after reading add...

Edited after your post , to fix up some wording - hope it explains...

A generalised answer to that I reckon.... really, you should only use intr inhibit when you truly have a sequence of code which cannot be interrupted by anything - either it's time critical, or the sequence of instructions, what you write (i.e. commands) have to occur in a defined sequence or time s...

Yes, as I see it. The code as seen (a LOT) simply loops around the AD_complete flag, whereas there is an interrupt available in the hardware. Yes the 174 state times is indivisible for each command, so that AD_complete flag would take 174 state times to be set after the command is written to R4. (80...

Hmm...so code doesn't care about the low-bits. Yes, I've noticed this in many bins, the code doesn't check where the AD answer comes from. The AD_complete flag stays low until the command is complete, and you can't queue therefore queue AD requests in the CPU. What's actually worse is that the CPU ...

Probably redundant, but I've just realised I got the voltage wrong for that circuit The maximum voltage grounded pin 48 is 2.56 as I said, but not grounded would be 1/2.82 * 5 = 1.77+0.6 = 2.37, so it possibly would overlap.... but I think principle of the self/test shared HEGO may still work. if it...

Well, so much for THAT idea..... Unless..... is it possible that the EGO (driver) will never actually reach 2.56V, and so the self test can do a check of - IF equals 2.56V THEN self test, otherwise it's WB input (ie. 0- 2.55) ? Then it would indeed be duplexed. OOPS I've just spotted - I assumed R99...

Hmmmm..... Digging out my rusty electronics knowledge... Er......Isn't that the perfect example of how the wide band works? IC16.1 will adjust the current flow through pin 48 via Q1CA (?) transistor, according to voltage fed in from pin 44, and the CPU/EEC can monitor that current by voltage drop th...

Ah, I see.... A quick check of Wikipedia reveals that EGOs and HEGOs actually work like batteries, so they GENERATE voltage, and therefore do not require a 5v volt feed like a throttle sensor (which is just a variable resistor). From wiki - The zirconium dioxide, or zirconia, lambda sensor is based ...

That's true about Analogue inputs, as the sample schematics I've seen often have a resistor network of some type, either to change voltage or to adjust the sensor results. Anything of non-linear response is of course is easy, that's what the 1D function lookup takes care of.... but Yes, a possible g...

I want to add something to this - a view from the hardware/electronics viewpoint - If you've got access to the ROM ( = program) you can actually repurpose ANY of the inputs and outputs to do something else, within reason. Each injector output is effectively a PWM driver with a decent current capabil...

I can't help but think of Hondata in this case... From what I understand, the ROM chip is replaced with an interface controller, which also adds features like boost control and flex fuel. Er, unless I am misunderstanding, isn't that exactly the same as the various J3 port plug in boards ? They too ...
