Did you use Tactrix flash connector or Test-mode green, while it in a car?

6-pin flash connector that connects line end check from obd to ecu and green test connectors.

Just for info.
OBD / ECU
9 - B134-21 LEC2 - Pulse for bootloader +5 or +12v?
11 - B134-6 LEC1 - FlashMemJumper +12v

B136-16 Read_MemoryDTC +5v
B137-10 V_Bat_BackUp

Need to make a pulse generator, but not have much time for it... Rebuilding a house.
Or maybe someone can share software with pulsing from DTR line?

LEC2 +5v
LEC1 no need to connect

I had v_bat_backup connected and read_memory but don't remember if they were at the same time. Need to test again some connections as I have another board on table without connector.

Is it possible for you to solder wire from DTR signal to OBD LEC2 pin or do you have already?

I have small test software with DTR pulsing that will work for testing kernel upload and downloading ROM from ECU.

I can solder it at any time, no problem)

Been digging inside A8AK210A ECU logic to try and figure out the extra connections to work on the bench.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think:
PE3 is the test mode connector - this makes sense and it's what you would expect (ie) the bootloader logic should only allow entry if the test mode connector is in place
PF2 is the starter switch (S11) - not sure how this makes sense... perhaps it reflects the security and inhibitor systems being satisfied

If the above is correct, then perhaps:
1. the bench ECU is not properly simulating the test mode connectors being connected (live or grounded?), and/or
2. try grounding or making live the starter switch pin

Tested with:

B134
Line end check 2
Ign switch
SSM comm
Neutral switch +12/GND
Starter switch +12/GND

B135
Test mode connector

B136
DTC read mode +12/+5/GND

B137
Main power
Back-up power
GND

Still no luck on bench...

Little test program that uses DTR-signal to pulsing Line end check 2. Just run and use 'Subaru 02 32-bit' -button to upload and init kernel. 'Dump mem' will dump full rom to file 'SH7055_02fxt_dump.bin' in same directory as executable. 'CRC check' -button compares ECU and file 'SH7055_02fxt_write_test_chksum_corrected.bin'.

EDIT: And serial port needs to be changed to COM67 as I was lazy and didn't add comport-selector to this as I use it with only one cable... :D

EDIT2: Removed obsolete software link

Strange, file has 0 bytes size after downloading. Tried several browsers, can't download it((

For me it is working, but it is complaining it's harmful after download so it needs to be accepted atleast in chrome.

Ahh, of course I will compile 32-bit version as soon as possible.

Hope this will work:

There is now box that is showing comports but it is not yet in use (it only shows available ports) because of windows problems, so don't be confused :D actual used port number is COM67

And 16-bit denso bootloader access/kernel upload should also work, so you can confirm with it that software and cable is ok if you have one of those ecus.
