# A Nix Package for Tactrix EcuFlash
|
|
> EcuFlash is a general-purpose ECU reflashing and editing tool that supports an [ever-growing list](http://openecu.org/index.php?title=EcuFlash:VehicleSupport) of vehicles. EcuFlash uses the [OpenPort](http://openecu.org/index.php?title=OpenPort) vehicle interface to reflash vehicles via the [OBDII port](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Board_Diagnostics). EcuFlash also allows you to edit ECU data (known as 'maps' or 'tables') in a human-readable format using a [XML-based](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML) definition system to translate the data. With properly setup definitions, the ROM from any vehicle can be edited. Future plans for EcuFlash include logging support / overlay, and live tuning.

|
This project attempts to create a reproducible package for running Tactrix' Windows-only software on Linux.
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
`nix-ecuflash` is a wine-wrapped Windows application. You can run it with:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix shell "github:Jafner/Jafner.net?dir=projects/nix-ecuflash#ecuflash"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
In 2024, I assume you're using flakes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start by adding this flake as an input:
|
|
**Flake.nix**
|
|
```nix
|
|
inputs = {
|
|
nix-ecuflash.url = "github:Jafner/Jafner.net?dir=projects/nix-ecuflash";
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then reference the package in a package list:
|
|
|
|
**home.nix**
|
|
```nix
|
|
home.packages = [
|
|
inputs.nix-ecuflash.packages."x86_64-linux".ecuflash
|
|
];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or
|
|
|
|
**configuration.nix**
|
|
```nix
|
|
environment.systemPackages = [
|
|
inputs.nix-ecuflash.packages."x86_64-linux".ecuflash
|
|
];
|
|
``` |
