ZReader
ZReader is a program for reading and writing data from electronic control units, the successor to JLinkZReader. It works with the J-Link programmer hardware (version 9 and higher).
The key difference is automatic detection of the processor parameters. Previously (in JLinkZReader) you had to manually specify the exact CPU model. With ZReader you only choose the processor family — the model, memory size and other parameters are detected automatically on connection by reading the DeviceID registers.
Supported families: TMS470, TMS570, S32K1xx. Compared to JLinkZReader, the coverage of models available for reading and programming is significantly expanded, and support and brute-forcing of protection keys for several processor models has been added.
The program is currently in beta testing. You can submit a request via the form on the «Contacts» page.
JLinkZReader (archive)
The JLinkZReader program is designed to read and write data stored in vehicle electronic control units. The program uses the hardware of the well-known J-Link programmer.
The program supports the following processors:
- TMS570LS11xx (TMS570LS1113, TMS570LS1114…)
- TMS570LS04xx
- S32K142
- TMS570LS31xx
- TMS470R1A256
- TMS470Pxxxxx
Reading the TMS570LS11xx was free — the only free option (reading a single version of a single processor). ZReader has no free licenses. You can download the latest version here; some older versions are also available.
The program works with the J-Link programmer (version 9 and higher).
