KITE Reflasher

Released Version 0.2.1

A UDS-on-CAN reflashing tool for ECU firmware download and update validation, covering download sequences, Security Access, firmware formats, and trace retention.

Overview

Turn ECU reflashing into a controlled download workflow

KITE Reflasher supports ECU firmware programming, bootloader bring-up, download sequence validation, and pre-delivery update tests. Engineers can configure diagnostic sessions, Security Access, RoutineControl, RequestDownload, TransferData, and ECU Reset steps while keeping firmware artifacts, settings, logs, and traces for analysis.

Download sequence

Manage session, security, routine, download, transfer, and reset steps.

Firmware formats

Process HEX, S-record, BIN, and VBF firmware inputs and prepare download segments.

Traceable update

Preserve ASC traces, step states, failure reasons, and merged firmware details.

Bootloader bring-up

Useful for early bootloader validation and ECU update flow debugging.

Memory config and UDS flash sequence

Based on MemoryConfigPanel, UdsSequencerPanel, and the reflasher backend for HEX / S-record / BIN / VBF parsing, Security Access, erase, RequestDownload, TransferData, TransferExit, and verify routines.

Product Highlights

Supports common UDS download service sequences.

Supports HEX, S-record, BIN, and VBF firmware formats.

Keeps traces and step results for debugging and delivery review.

Core Capabilities

UDS download flow

Controls common reflash steps such as 0x10, 0x27, 0x31, 0x34, 0x36, 0x37, and 0x11.

Firmware segmenting

Prepares firmware addresses, payloads, padding, and blocks to reduce manual file handling risk.

Security Access

Integrates external seed / key calculation into the download sequence.

Logs and traces

Keeps step states, CAN traces, responses, and failure reasons for bring-up analysis.

Typical Firmware Update Workflow

From firmware loading and download configuration to step execution and trace retention, ECU update behavior can be validated repeatedly.

1

Load firmware

Import HEX, S-record, BIN, or VBF and verify addresses and segments.

2

Configure sequence

Set session, security, routine, download, and transfer parameters.

3

Run download

Execute each step and record responses, NRCs, progress, and errors.

4

Keep evidence

Export traces, logs, and firmware handling results for debug or review.

Where It Fits

Useful for bootloader validation, update flow development, firmware delivery testing, and field issue analysis.

Bootloader bring-up

Validate session switching, security, routine, and transfer behavior.

Update validation

Repeat the same sequence across firmware versions and compare results.

Failure analysis

Use NRC, trace, and step logs to analyze download interruption or ECU reset issues.
