Software Requirements Questions

Is Rator-Dev compatible with Windows 8?

Windows 8 is currently not fully supported by Raptor-Dev.

What tools from the MathWorks are required for using Raptor?

Check out the Raptor Prerequisites

MATLAB 2013b Freezes on Startup

This is a known issue with Matlab that requires the patch below:

Matlab 2013b Patch

Licensing Questions

How do I know if my license is properly installed?

The New Eagle License Viewer, found in your New Eagle installation folder, will display the current status of your New Eagle license.

Why do I get a licensing error when I try to do a Raptor-Dev build?

Ensure your USB license dongle is plugged in and your license is up-to-date. Verify this in the New Eagle License Viewer tool by clicking “Update License Online”.

Compiling & Building Questions

What compilers are used with Raptor-Dev?

Each Raptor controller data sheet lists the compiler required for the controller. In general, here is the list of compiler vendors for Raptor targets:

  • IAR is for CM3620
  • Freescale for the CM0711, CM2115 and CM3626
  • GCC for VeeCAN displays
  • Hitech for ECM196 Bosch controller

What is an .rpg file?

An .rpg file uses the Raptor Package file format and contains both the software and calibration data generated during a Raptor-Dev build.

What is an .a2l file?

An .a2l file contains calibration signal information. .a2l files are generated during a Raptor-Dev build and can be loaded and merged using Raptor-Cal.

Where are build files saved?

Build files are saved in C:\ECU.

How long does a Raptor-Dev build take?

Depending on the size of the model being built, Raptor-Dev builds take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes for a complete build.

Programming & Calibration Questions

How can I program a Raptor-Dev software build onto a Raptor control module?

A separate calibration tool must be used to program Raptor-Dev software builds onto Raptor control modules. Customers can choose to user either Raptor-Cal or any tool that follows the XCP protocol.

How can I program a Raptor-Dev software build onto a Raptor display?

Raptor displays are programmed using a USB flash drive. Raptor-Cal can be used to load the software build onto a usb flash drive.

How can I calibrate a module running Raptor-Dev software?

Modules running Raptor-Dev software can be calibrated using the Raptor-Cal calibration tool or any commercial calibration tool that supports the XCP protocol.
