QNX Development for CIC

[rhodesman]

Alright, so this stalled out. What needs to be removed so I can make this a public post?

I think I'm good here, all clear on my end.

 

[Deadknight]

No problem at my part i believe.

This thread has been moved to the Public technical forum where it should get indexed.

I wish i had the skills you guys have to do this. Well done people !

So ladies and gents... We have a problem and im hoping that you CIC devs can help !!!!
The scene...
The BMW DCT is the same in the M3 and in the 335i and 135i. The differences in how they were implemented in the M cars though is astounding. One of the things we’ve figured out along the way is that by adding the m3 shifter and flashing the m3 software it slams into gear like a race car. The only problem is that when you do all this you lose launch control because you need a specific byte to come via PT-CAN from the DME. That byte comes from the DME when a power mode is selected by pressing a button OR by activating the M drive menus in the CIC
The challenge...
Would there be any way after activating the the mdrive power modes for the CIC to send this byte when the menu is selected instead of requesting it from the DME ?
See thread here for shifter conversion and background
https://bmw.spoolstreet.com/threads/my-dct-conversion-to-m3-gws-flash.2929/
And this one for pid on CAN
To emulate the M-Power button:

Address 0x399 byte 2, bits 4-7 Decimal Value 1 is off, 2 is M-Power
Address 0x399 byte 1, bits 0 and 1. 1 is off, 2 is M-Drive
More information from here

Myself, @doublespaces @dyezak and @Blue335is can help and guide ..

So is anyone able to help ?

Are there any further discussions on this topic in a private section of the forum? I'm interested in chipping in here as well now that I've got access to my own CIC.

I have no idea about CIC and just seen this thread, but if you need MEVD17 to send a CAN packet that is an option.

There are lots of unknowns to system and it requires a lot of time to research them near car (for me at least). There are some knowledge in private section, if you are willing to start researching it.

Hey guys, I've been thinking about trying to work on some projects relating to the CIC. I've been lurking around the excellent threads here for a little while, and I keep getting taunted by the "Setting up development environment" private thread. Is there any way I could get access to that?
Thanks in advanced. I look forward to being able to contribute some of my own work to the community.

I took care of it. Just be sure to share your findings.

Stumbled upon this thread with a Google search and also interested in the dev environment thread. Could I get access as well?

 

[Tagra]

Hello,
Same as post above, found this thread though Google. If possible add me to dev thread / section.
Thanks !

 

[doublespaces]

Try now, however I've just pushed most of it to the public area.

 

[e90reborn]

Great thanks to @emoRaivis for his code example on how to display static image, it helped me a lot in the beginning.

where is this sample code ?

I found this thread through Google as well. I'm very interested in trying out my own Code on the QNX unit... Would it be possible to give me access to the thread "Setting up development environment"? If not, what's necessary to get access?

Thanks!

Attached is autorun script for usb (encrypted) which calls run.sh from USB (only the one in glove box works in F30, don't know about EXX).

Need to put both scripts in / of FAT32 formatted USB drive

copie_scr.sh has this inside

cd /fs/usb0
./run.sh

C code to encrypt/decrypt

#include <stdio.h>

unsigned int seed = 0x001be3ac;

unsigned int prng_rand() {
unsigned int r1, r3, r0;

r0 = seed;
r1 = (seed >> 1) | (seed << 31);
r3 = ((r1 >> 16) & 0xFF) + r1;
r1 = ((r3 >> 8) & 0xFF) << 16;
r3 -= r1;
seed = r3;

return r0;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int c;

prng_rand();

c = getchar();
while (c != EOF) {
c ^= (prng_rand() & 0xFF);
putchar(c);
c = getchar();
}
}

Hello,
I would like to copy the .ans files from the /tts/ folder. According to your post I created a run.sh file and I used your copy_scr.sh, but it does not work.
Is my run.sh correct?

copie_scr.sh:

cd /fs/usb0
./run.sh

run.sh

#!/bin/ksh
USB0=$(mount -l | grep -i usb0)
mount -u /fs/usb0
mount -r /mnt/cic3
echo remounted for full access

cp -v -r /mnt/cic3/speech/tts/* /fs/usb0/

does anyone have a sample code to read CAN data ?
i am thinking about having an arduino writing CAN data to generate custom alerts in CIC, like "low level alert" for methanol aux tank.

 

[doublespaces]

Not sure how to do it with arduino but if you look up FTDI you can write your own drivers for the chips that are in every OBD cable. I once wrote an android app that could read the msd rom. You just need to find the can address if the cic and send it. You'd need to know Java though.

 

[NoQuarter]

Reading and writing on the can bus is actually the easy part. Getting the addresses and, even harder, figuring out the data packet encoding.

I would have to say .. if your first question is how to read can data the actual data part of the problem might be a stretch.

Triggering an existing alert will be a significant achievement. Creating a custom message? That is a very big task.
