EBL_Update

Dynamic EFI

Bringing TBI and Multi Port Fuel Injection to a New Level.

Embedded Lockers Updates

Software and firmware updates for the EBL system are free for the life of the product to the end users. This includes the BIN, What's Up Display (WUD), definition files and documents.

Updates are emailed to the user as a zip file. They are small at a few hundred kilo-bytes (KB, not MB). If you wish to have an update please send an email to:

update'at'dynamicefi.com (replace 'at' with @, spam is too time consuming)

Include in the email your name and whether you need the full EBL Classic update, just the EBL Classic WUD, or the EBL Flash WUD. It is best to use an email address that you have used to contact us in the past. These will be checked as updates are only available to EBL users. Note that your email account needs to accept an attached zip file.

For EBL Flash users, you only need the WUD. There have been no changes to the BIN.

For EBL Classic users, on 10/1/2006 there was a change to the BIN that swapped the PE and q-async mode status bits. For users of the EBL Classic previous to this change, you will need the full update. This full update includes a utility that reads your current BIN and creates a new one while retaining your current calibration. To check for this there are several methods.

If your ECU/XDF file has any entries for EGR or CCP, you just need the WUD.
If your WUD version (click Help->About) is 1.7 or higher, you just need the WUD.
Open your BIN in a hex editor, near the end of the BIN is a a version string in English. If it is 1.22 or higher, you just need the WUD.

The only downside to using the current WUD with an older BIN is that the PE and q-async mode status indicators will be incorrect. Everything else is OK.

Even if you only require the WUD update, you can also request and use the full update.

Note: I know some are thinking: what are the differences between the EBL Classic and the EBL Flash versions of the WUD? Very little. The Classic version has the Flash display selections grayed out. The Flash version has the VE Learn AutoUpdate preference selection grayed out (can't use an emulator with the EBL Flash). That's it, otherwise the functionality is the same. It is the same base code.

List of What's Up Display changes (version can be checked from Help->About dialog box):

Note: if you are using a USB-to-serial adapter cable it is well worth using WUD version 2.1f or newer!
