Revision 2: Siemens MSS52

Source context

Ken Malinich developed this incomplete MSS52 XDF on an E39 M5 with the S62B50. The README and XDF header list the following software records. MSS52 project and software coverage.

SoftwareZBTypeProgramTune
2113 2100 1601 D4097837951783399178379657837952
2113 2100 1601 D4447837963140715778379657837964

The two records share the listed program number and differ in tune, type and ZB identity. Keep each complete record with the original read; the common program number alone does not establish that two calibrations are interchangeable.

Definition file basis

The pinned XDF declares a 0x8000-byte region (32 KiB), starting at zero, with zero base offset. This is its declared editing basis. The repository does not supply a complete physical flash-layout specification. MSS52 XDF.

Calibration guides

Shared interpretation and validation guidance lives under MSS. D409 and D444 are software contexts within this ECU branch; future findings should retain that software scope.
