Step By Step Guide for Software
The intent of this page is to setup the board up with the latest firmware and setting your pc up with the software to start tuning
You will need to download these items into a folder of your choice. I suggest picking one root folder and each download a seperate folder underneath that one so you can find it again.
- Latest stable firmware release is on
Unzip it
- [Megaloader] provide functionality of flashing system and uploading configuration and tables
copy megaloader.exe to your firmware directory created when you unzipped the file in the previous step
- Tuning Software
- [MegaTunix/Win] is a good choice, follow the instructions for downloading it.
- Currently the instructions are
- Download the GLADE enviroment
- Download and Go version.
- Misc required bit. Perl is used to create the table.mtt and config.mtt files to be uploaded into the VEMS. This may get incorporated into megaloader later but right now this is what you have to do.
- See the wiki [Perl ]for Windows for details on how to get it installed
Now the basics are installed.
The version of firmware has Marcell's config and tables with it in the ..\firmware\etc\ directory. As a good starting poing to look at the features and practice uploading his config is a good idea. REMEMBER this is for TESTING the uploading method. You will have to configure it for you particular setup.
- Uploading latest stable firmware
- Make sure all terminals, Megatune, Megatunix etc is off and closed or this wont work
- [start]
> [run]>[cmd] (type cmd in that box you'll get a dos prompt)
- type:megaloader.exe vems.hex -twE
- The response you see should be [insert scrn dump]
- Now were going to practice uploading tables and configurations
- Once again your in the /firmware directory
- type: megaloader -d etc/config.mtt
- You should see [screendump]. This means you successfully uploaded the configuration
- type: megaloader -d etc/tables.mtt [screendump]
- You should see [screendump]. This means you successfully uploaded the configuration
- Once again your in the /firmware directory
- Now you are free to look at it with MegaTunix
Now its time to build your configuration and Tables
see THIS PAGE about config file
see THIS PAGE about tables file
- After you have edited your config.txt and tables.txt in the \firmware\etc directory to your liking. You can always post them to your personal page on the wiki and have somebody look at it.
- Once again your in the /firmware directory
- type: makemtt
- You should see [screendump]. This shows that you successfully made your table.mtt and config.mtt
- Now you have to upload them to the VEMS board.
- Make sure all terminals, Megatune, Megatunix etc is off and closed or this wont work
- [start]
> [run]>[cmd] (type cmd in that box you'll get a dos prompt)
- Now were going to upload your tables and configuration
- Once again your in the /firmware directory
- type: megaloader -d etc/config.mtt
- You should see [screendump]. This means you successfully uploaded the configuration
- type: megaloader -d etc/tables.mtt [screendump]
- You should see [screendump]. This means you successfully uploaded the configuration
- Once again your in the /firmware directory
