Flash mirroring, inline vs shared axes, and the 40-map cross-calibration offset table.

A common pitfall when importing DAMOS definitions into tuning software or writing binary patching scripts is misunderstanding descriptor-to-data offsets and segment mirroring.

6.1. Bosch Flash Address Mirroring#

In the Infineon C167CR-LM memory bus architecture:

  • Physical Flash ROM spans 0x000000 to 0x0FFFFF (1024 KB).
  • The C167 segment registers mirror this flash space into Segment 8: 0x800000 to 0x8FFFFF.
  • In DAMOS files, addresses are frequently declared with the mirrored prefix $81xxxx.
  • Conversion Rule: Strip the high nibble or mask with 0x0FFFFF to obtain the physical binary file offset: \text{File Offset} = \text{DAMOS Address} \land \text{0x0FFFFF} Example: DAMOS address $81208E \rightarrow File offset 0x01208E.

6.2. Inline vs. Shared Axes Geometry#

In Bosch ASAP2DAM definitions, an address in a /SPZ record points to the map descriptor block, not necessarily the raw data array:

  1. Inline Axes (Flagged with /FKX or /FKY): The map descriptor contains its own axis point counts and breakpoint values immediately preceding the map data:
    • 2D Curves with u16 axis: +34 byte offset (2\text{ bytes count} + 16 \times 2\text{ bytes axis} = 34). Example: LDRXN (Max Engine Load) descriptor at 0x1F054 \rightarrow Data starts at 0x1F076.
    • 3D Maps with 16x16 u16 axes: +68 byte offset (4\text{ bytes counts} + 16 \times 2 + 16 \times 2 = 68). Example: KFMIRL (Target Load) descriptor at 0x15088 \rightarrow Data starts at 0x150CC.
    • 3D Maps with 8x8 u8 axes: +18 byte offset (2\text{ bytes counts} + 8 \times 1 + 8 \times 1 = 18). Example: KFLDHBN descriptor at 0x1EE82 \rightarrow Data starts at 0x1EE94.
    • Mixed Axes (e.g. u8 X-axis, u16 Y-axis): +50 byte offset (2\text{ bytes count} + 16 \times 1 + 16 \times 2 = 50). Example: FKKVS descriptor at 0x1CAF2 \rightarrow Data starts at 0x1CB24.
  1. Shared / External Axes (No /FKX flag): The record references separate shared breakpoint records (/SPX, /SPY) located elsewhere in flash.
    • For shared axis maps, scalars, and direct lookup tables, the descriptor address is the exact data address (+0 offset).
    • Examples: KFZW (Ignition timing), CWSAWE (Anti-lag codeword), TEMIN (Min injection time), MLOFS (MAF offset).

6.3. Hex Dump Byte Comparison: Shared vs. Inline Axis Mechanics#

To prevent off-by-one or data-shift corruption when patching firmware or creating custom definition files, consider the following direct binary comparison of a Shared Axis map (KFZW) versus an Inline Axis map (KFMIRL) in h24bw05g / 06A906032LP:

1. Type 1: Shared Axis Map (KFZW — Base Ignition Timing, 12x16 Grid)#
  • Descriptor Address: 0x01208E
  • Data Array Address: 0x01208E (Offset: +0 bytes)
  • Data Format: 12 \times 16 = 192 unsigned 8-bit bytes (u8).
  • Conversion Formula: \text{Timing (°BTDC)} = (\text{Byte} \times 0.75) - 48.00
  • Axis Storage: Does not contain axis breakpoints in the table block. Points via /SPX to snm16 (Engine Speed axis at 0x011936) and via /SPY to rl12 (Engine Load axis at 0x011AE4).

Key Takeaway: Notice that between h24bw05g, 06A906032LP, and 06A906032JJ, the address shift is strictly 0x00 (zero bytes) across all 40 primary tuning maps. In 06A906032PL, a constant offset of +0x30 (+48 bytes) applies cleanly to all maps in Segment 1, making automated porting deterministic.
