MR_Loyale

Thanks for the backgound on the connectors. I did have the feeling like I had seen them many other places which is why I assumed I could easily get one quick. I thought the dealer would easily be able to get me one. The dealer parts guy told me when he worked at GM getting connectors was no big deal but Subaru doesn't do connectors, only the harness. I do have a crimper so I should be fine. I will let you know how I get on.

The blower motor has two connectors, a 4 wire and 2 wire. On my white car, the two wire male plug is toast. It overheated years ago and I have been wiggling and jiggling it to keep it going over the years. Saturday I went to the parts dept of Peninsula Subaru and was told that Subaru doesn't sell connectors. You have to buy the entire harness. I looked for Loyales at Row52 and it appears the j/y in our are do not have any Loyales. I really wanted to keep the original and all, but I am thinking I will just solder this up. It is a simple plug with a T connector. Didn't someone say one time that the older Toyota also used this blower motor? I wonder if Toyota would have that connector. Thoughts?

Have you tried removing the oil cap, starting it and put your hand (or hold a piece of paper over the top) over the oil filler to see if you feel air puffing out? If all you need is an air compressor, come over to my place. I also got a flexible camera to look in the cylinders.

Yikes! You concentrate on your roof. We will still be here.

Did you ever get the cpu desoldered?

Do you have a Loyale ECU?

Gone? Sold it? Scrapped it? It all looked so rose and now it is suddenly gone?

Do you recall how much it cost? I am seeing about $70 for third party.

Are third party coolant temperature sensors acceptable or are they garbage? Should I get the Subaru part? Ea82 spfi.

Do you have access to any schematic software? If we could be a preliminary schematic going, it would help to better visualize this.

Well if the EPROM data that DaveT downloaded with is reader are indeed maps, they are all ready available a few posts up. Feel free to download and go take a look. Exploring will be easier if you get the hex editor to navigate the file.

That is quite possible. Because the state of those pins is latched in during reset and loaded into the program counter it could be we are not in mode7? Is that what you are thinking?

Though the original TRS-80 was a reference to the Zilog Z-80 processor upon which it was built, the later TRS80 Color computer (nicknamed CoCo) used the Motorola 6809 processor instructions set (similar to the Hitachi HD6301V1 in our Loyale ECU. ). Tandy Corporation decided not to change the name to exclude the original 80 reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80_Color_Computer You can see the connection between the Hitachi 6301 and the Motorola 6800 below: The HD6301 was an 8-bit CPU designed using microcode to bring the simpler design techniques of 16 and 32 bit CPUs at the time down to 8-bit designs. Inspired by the Motorola 6800, the 6301 featured A and B accumulators, one stack and one index register. These, along with the PC, were mapped to a bank of sixteen 8-bit registers (R0L, R0H, R1L etc. up to R7H), which along with two data buffer registers (DBR and DBL), and memory address registers (MARL and MARH), were accessed by the microcode to execute the CPU instructions using one 8-bit ALU and a simpler 8-bit arithmatic unit. A simple 2-stage pipeline was used. - SOURCE: http://www.cpushack.com/CPU/cpu2.html How does the CPU control spark advance on the EA82 engine? I see nothing in the wiring diagrams to indicate this. Could you please explain?

Well, I did find this: http://web.archive.org/web/20100301013019/http://www.vwrx.com/index.php?pg=selectmonitor I am ordering parts to build this. As they seem to have an INI for 5MT N/A it would connect to my white car.

How big is your protoboard? I know I can do a program to grab it if we can get the rest circuit done. But the we need to save the data off somewhere to make binary file that can be fed through the disassembler. I am thinking using the SCI on the chip to allow a serial connection to a pc and capture the data that way. I think there was example code in the handbook for this. This ain't no one nighters lol.

DaveT, can you do a trace of the pins between the eprom and the 2k static RAM chip? I suspect the latched A0 is acting as a map selector.

Looking at the note 2 on mode 0, it seems to indicate that you can briefly change the startup RES vector for testing purposes (eg verify the internal ROM using an external EEPROM). Once FFFE and FFFF are read, it must disconnect from the databus within 3-4 cycles to avoid driving the databus with more than one device. This is how an engineering sample would have been verified. If we wanted to read the internal ROM we would need to remove the 6301 from the board and put it in a mode 0 configuration on a protoboard that was setup to apply our custom vector to our own routine to read the internal ROM. The vector would have to point somewhere to one of the external memory spaces where a an EPROM is connected. We could develop the program without any hardware using an emulator, burn it to an EPROM that gets placed into available memory space on the protoboard. In order to redirect the RES vector we would need a circuit that would make our new vector available on the databus immediately upon RES and disconnect before 4 cycles.

I am guessing that is a 4Mhz crystal because the literature says there is a divide by four circuit to give a system clock of 1 Mhz.

I suspect this actually is data rather than code simply because it is not in the address space (eg mode7) but rather it is accessed by manipulation of the I/O pins which is what would normally be the address lines become in mode 7. There are four "ports" in Mode7, three eight bit and one 5 bit port, I will have to look at where the EPROM pins are going back (from your listing) to see which port it is using. I don't think that all 8K is data for a single model as I don't believe this early setup was that sophisticated. For example, you wouldn't need any tables relating to spark advance as there is a distributor etc. Really the main task is monitoring TPS, CTS and O2 sensor and adjusting the output waveform to one or more injectors. Because you have an 8K chip next to the 2K static RAM, I suspect there may be up to 4 "base maps" that could be loaded into static ram depending on the car options and heuristically adjusted. Perhaps the four maps are Carbed, SPFI, MPFI and MPFI Turbo? Did MPFI always mean turbo? Not sure. Of course this is all speculation. Our real challenge is to figure out how to read the internal masked ROM. I am thinking there has to be a way because when these were ordered, engineering samples were delivered for verification prior to a foundry production run. They had to have a way to verify the code was what was desired. If we can get that internal ROM read, we will be able to get something useful to disassemble.

Just discovered if you use adobe Reader 11, you can search entire handbook. I need to upgrade my reader.

IC 10 HA1835P https://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/740/HA1835P.php The HA1835P and is a monolithic voltage regulator control designed for microcomputer systems. In addition to the voltage regulator, it include watchdog timer function and power-on reset function. These ICs can perform many function in various microcomputer systems with few external parts. https://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/740/HA1835P-pdf.php

I believe that IC3, NEC D449C-1 is some sort of RAM chip based upon my discovery of a similar chip number : https://www.twistywristarcade.com/ram/1032-d449c-3.html I think I found the datasheet for this: https://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/322/UPD449-pdf.php Based on the description above, I believe this is where trouble codes live while the car is turned off. There may be other goodies stuffed in there as well.

Let's start compiling a master chip list so we can at a glance associate a chip with a position on the pcb. I propose the following format: IC# Chip Number Description Datasheet link ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IC12 HD14013BP Dual D type flip flop http://www.harrisonelectronics.co.uk/datasheets/HD14013BP.pdf
