i have a PP1, i just got it and trying to learn...
i saved my stock bin file after clicking the 2732a chip on fileprom from the buffer, opened it in tunner cat (worked), saved it from tunner cat
then put in a falsh chip AT29C256 after cliking on it in the fileprom, then loaded the buffer and pushed program device, and i aussum thats its programmer on the chip after the numbber and letters stop rolling by the quit button, then i save the buffer under a diffrent name and then try to open it in tunner cat and it doesnt recanize the bin.... im new to this hole thing and i dont know how to burn a chip on the PP1 any help would be great, i have a
(TBI eng.) 1988
ECM Type C3 C
ECM ID 1228063
EPROM Type 2732A
BIN Size 4Kb
Program ID (Calibration) $4D

 

( tunner cat and it doesnt recanize the bin)

and heres what it says

"The ECM Defintion File in use is not compatible with this source file. The file indicates that the $FF ECM defintion File should be used."

 

You are having a problem that many others before you have had.
You posted that your bin is 4KB. The 29C256 is a 32KB part. The PP1 is puting your 4kb bin in a place in the 32kB chip where it is not expected to be.

PP1 has an option to put the bin at the proper place in the 32kb chip, but I have never used that feature. Others have and hopefully someone will jump in and tell you how to do it.

The method I use to do the proper placement is this.

1) go to an MS-DOS prompt
2) type this: copy /b my4kbin.bin+my4kbin.bin+my4kbin.bin+my4kbin.bin+my4kbin.bin+my4kbin.bin+my4kbin.bin+my4kbin.bin my32kbin.bin

this will copy the 4kb bin eight times making a 32kb bin and will be the bin you load into the chip using the PP1.

not really getting that
how do you get up MS-DOS prompt

i feel stupied could you expile it a bit better to me, im just a bit coufused

i at lest feel better that theres hope

 

i found this on some other site....

You didn't say what you are using for burning, but at least in the pocket programmer II software, there are 3 fields for "buffer start" (set at hex 000000) and the fields "chip start" and "chip end". Because I have a 4k program and a 32k atmel chip, I set the buffer start to 000000, chip start to 070000 and chip end to 07ffff and it works fine (and is easier than stacking/restacking every compile), but I agree, it would be nice to have built-in to tunerpro.

but still cant set it up right....

 

File Size Chip Buffer Start -> End Chip Start -> End
4k (4096) AT29C256 000000 -> 000FFF 007000 -> 007FFF

just haveing a hell of a time.... i end up burning 64kb

 

one more thing, once you get the bin saved as a 32kb file
then it should work fine on the ECM? but now that its 32kb you cant load the bin and view it on tunner cat cuz its a 32kb file right? but you can still edit the 4bk file then burn it as 32kb and so on...
