If you want to help contribute to the open source project, start by getting acquainted with the process. Check out the github repos for the flasher tool and the definitions. And reach out to webmaster@simoswiki.com
= That's Thats cool, - but how =
== Using Brian Ledbetters VW_FLASH Tool ==
Steps
#Build your tune(cal) in tunerpro
#Copy the cal to your raspberry pi
#Pre-reqs
#Checksum the cal
#Encrypt and compress the cal to prepare it for flashing
#Flash it
Directions below will assume you have a directory on your pi for the flash tool (/home/pi/VW_FLASHVW_Flash) and for your tunes (/home/pi/flashfiles/tunes)
=== Copy the cal to your raspberry pi ===
<pre>
pscp C:\somedirectory\thisismytune.bin pi@raspberrypi.local:/home/pi/flashfiles/tunes/thisismytune.bin
</pre>
=== Pre-reqs ===
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/bri3d/VW_Flash.git
cd /home/pi/VW_Flash
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
cd ~/VW_Flash/lzss
make
</pre>
Assuming you put the cal in /home/pi/flashfiles/tunes/thisismytune.bin
<pre>
cd /home/pi/VW_FLASHVW_Flashpython3 checksumsimoschecksumsimos18.py -i /home/pi/flashfiles/tunes/thisismytune.bin -o /home/pi/flashfiles/tunes/thisismytune.bin.checksummed --block 5
</pre>
Thanks to Brian and David, we can then encrypt and prepare the CHECKSUMMED file for flashing by:
<pre>
cd /home/pi/VW_FLASHVW_Flash
./prepareblock.sh /home/pi/flashfiles/tunes/thisismytune.bin.checksummed 5
</pre>
The fun part:
<pre>
cd /home/pi/VW_FLASHVW_Flashpython3 flashsimos18.py --file /home/pi/flashfiles/tunes/thisismytune.bin.checksummed.flashable --block CAL
</pre>
This command will use the "flashable" file to flash it to the "CAL" block on the ECU. You can also use --block by number.
