2011 subaru outback cvt

[KrisK63]

Hello, I'm trying to debug several issues with my cvt. I'm a EE, but not SW development related. So I have a basic understanding of what your instructions say, but lost in completing the task list for freessm updates. So, to put simply, your instructions are great for anyone who has coding experience. I don't. I tried to make it work following your instructions, but I'm lost. Basically, I'm trying to use your updated version on windows 7 64bit. I attached a screen shot of what was downloaded and installed.
From the cmd line, I changed the directory as requested. From there , we'll let's say, I'm lost. In my career and other non work related fun (phone rooting, etc), the initial nd design HW, SW, FW is ready to be applied. Basically, my role is at that point. An example is using CANalyzer. Can, Lin, etc files are ready for my diagnostic work Sorry for the long story, but it all comes down to this: my son just got his license a while back, totaled two cars and now my wife bought him another. I'm just trying to diagnose the issues. Once I have the diagnostic tool set, I can figure the rest out. I'm an applied engineer at the system and vehicle level.
What are your recommendations on how to proceed?

First of all: the github repository is the only official FreeSSM source, everything else is neither created nor supported by me. Looks like you have downloaded the ancient v1.2.5 version from one of these sites. I do not recommend using this version anymore, but running the installer.exe is all you should have to do.

Instead, you should build the latest code from the github repository. https://github.com/Comer352L/FreeSSM/blob/master/README.txt explains how to accomplish that. If you are going to use Qt5 for building: the offline installer for Qt5.12 is available at https://www.qt.io/offline-installers these days. If you encounter any problems, please let me know.

Thanks very very much. I'm just tired of dealing with this car without the proper tools. I worked for 10+ years as a diagnostic engineer. I always had the tools needed and supporting SW. The rest was easy. I still have tools for honda and fca vehicles (which we own). We've already spent a lot of time and money on his cars so I'm trying to work around these issues without spending more on a specific oem. I've been trying to figure out if there is a way (or if it exists) files for CANalyzer and CANoe. I still have HW, but Getting the proper files don't seem to exist. Even Subaru's flashing protocol probably isn't compatible either. Anyhow. I appreciate your time. I will try it and see.

Why are you doing all this ? Where did you get all these files from and why do you think you need them ?

Again: The github repositiory (https://github.com/Comer352L/FreeSSM) is the only official and supported source. It containes the source code as well as instructions (README.txt) how to compile them.

If you are not going this path, I can't help. If you follow the instructions and face any problems, come up with a concrete question.

[KrisK63]

Thank for replying. I realize why i avoided this area of 0my career fot most of it. Really, all it did was:

1. Obtained qt 5.1.12 offline installer from your link above [qt-everywhere-src-5.12.12] (moved locally to the desktop).
2. Downloaded your code placing under C:\ FreeSSM 5.1.12.
4. TBD: Household projects

As always I appreciate your patience. It's a part-time ordeal and your guidance is helpful.

I finally figured out how to compile and build your sw. Thanks. I'm trying figure out the hw. Can for ecu and ss2 trans. CVTs suck

Hey Folks, Thanks for maintaining this piece of software :) I've compiled latest github version with mingw as instructed and successfully connected it to a car via this cable. Cable itself has a little switch, which switches it from not working (I assume AT commands?), to working for the engine.

When I try to test the interface SSM responds that "SSM2 via ISO incompatible" but the rest works.

It reads Engine data/codes, however refuses to read CVT (on 2011 2.5 outback, north america)

@Comer352L QQ, would using different cable help, or FreeSSM is not compatible with this CVT?

[kolupaev]

Nvm, seems like you responded here: https://github.com/Comer352L/FreeSSM/issues/50

Will try a new cable, Thanks :)
