                Posted - 01/23/2009 : 10:53:13  I am sure most of you are aware of using SST27SF512 chips for Honda Eproms with an offset of 8000H.
  And as most of you I use common programs for creating the 32 KB bin files which will be burned on to the chip.
  The problem I am facing is that I want to be able to use the chips I burn for the application (Vehicle EPROM) but protect the content from being read by the original editing software or perhaps from being copied.
  Help

                Posted - 02/27/2009 : 11:46:53  Honda used OKI who made a propietary MCU like the 66207 used in the majority of OBD-I vehicles and the Pre OBD (OBD-0) MCUs using 83 C154 MCUs both of these are DIP 64 while the OBD-II systems  using 66507 MCUs are PLCC68 based for all three you have to use a dumper to extract the data. and anyone who has a stock ECU with a Honda installed external rom will say "The ECU will read and use the external ROM (which is a UV erasable ROM) but cannot read it unless the rig up a dummper. |

                Posted - 01/24/2009 : 11:09:15  The reason for using SST27SF512 chips with an offset of 8000HB for Honda Eproms is a low cost solution of replacing AT29C256 flash chip. But all EPROM/flash are the only storage devices, they are not protected from the reading. No way to do that form EPROM/Flash it self.
  The only way to encrypt your data in the EPROM/flash is that you have to add another decryption chip. And it works together with the regular flash chip, such as 27SF512, 29C256 etc. Each decryption chip has a unique key and only user know the key.
