It's probably a "Standard" license then. You can probably upgrade it to Tuner, but you should send them a License Report from that cable firmware tool first to be sure.

Unfortunately modding our ECU (or any car ECU really) is never quite as open a process as I'd like. I'm an open source developer myself, but the ECU world is all about trade secrets and warranties and whatever.

Nissan doesn't tell anyone how the ECU works. UpRev reverse engineers it to tease out whatever maps they can, but the deep details they produce (which allow them to make their roms and tools), they keep to themselves so they can run a profitable business, as it takes a lot of money to do the reverse engineering of this stuff.

I plan to continue posting whatever I can about whatever I can learn from playing with the tables in the Tuner edition of UpRev, but I don't think that will lead to anything resembling an open source ECU for our cars. Mostly it's just to reduce duplication of effort figuring **** out.
