What stage are the OpenPort and ECUflash at for Mitsubishi Evo 7, 8 and 9? Is there a beta version of the software and cable available to try?

Any info on this?

I'm in the process of having the mitsu cable manufactured now. It uses an additional connector and some different circuitry inside. When those are done, I'll release the software.

No worries. I assume the MH7202F kernel is still some time away, so I think the short term plan for my purposes will be to get some adaptor harnesses made and run an Evo 7/8 ECU in the Evo 4/5/6's. Do you know if Sumitomo also make the 3 plugs into the Mitsu ECU's?

Actually, that kernel would not take very long if I can find a H8/500 series compiler somewhere. I have ECUs to test it on.

Well I certainly can't find any freeware/shareware ones and I've been looking for sometime now. I can't even find any that have to be paid for, it seems everyone dropped support for the H8/500 in favour of the H8/300 ages ago. What happened to the guy that said he had an old Hitachi software disk with a DOS based compiler?

I found free cross assembler that supports h8/500:

and here is the list of all of the supported CPUs:

I believe cboles wanted to avoid using assembler and that's why he's looking for a C compiler.

Sorry for my answer delay and disinformation about C-compiler.
It was noticed on CD-label about H8/300 & 500.
I seen the H8-soft on old Hitach CD closer and discovered that there is only H8/300 toolchain inside

May be http://www.kpitgnutools.com/ will be useful?

Interesting site - thanks. Looks like the only support H8/300 though. I'll have to go look - I assume the H8/300 instruction set / opcodes are different than the H8/500.

Colby,

Have you got a rough date for when the cables will be done? I should be finished breaking down the E7 and E7RA rom's in the next few days and I'm anxious to test my work.

On a seperate note, do you or anyone else have a rom image from an E7 EM9986 or RA57855711P1 ECU other than the ones listed on this site? I just want to compare like for like for determining the complete immobilizer code.

Many thanks

They should be done one month from now. I'm sorry it's taking so long. Originally I had though that I could make them without making a PCB change from the Subaru OpenPort design. However, the Mitsubishis need a greater than battery voltage (say 15-18V) signal on their boot mode line to reliably put them in boot mode. Because of this, I changed the design to include a step-up voltage converter, which of course means building totally new hardware. I'm anxious to get all of this stuff out there - The new software supports so many more cars than my previous release...

The cables should be done shortly. The Mitsu init line connectors came in from Japan last week, and I sent them to Colby already. Also the immobilizer code on all 256K, and 512K ROMs are located at address 0X3FFCE-0X3FFCF, if that address area is 0XFF, then there is no immobilizer code in that ECU.
