OpenPort and ECUflash for Mitsubishi

[GTODesign]

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?

[GTODesign]

Any info on this?

[cboles]

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.

[GTODesign]

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?

[cboles]

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?

[cboles]

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.
