MTCD - Verified Cross compatible MCUs - MTCD Android Head Units General

This thread is to document MCUs found to be cross-compatible between MTCD units, which includes PX3 and PX5 variants, which share identical mainboard hardware and MCU Chip STM32F091.
The following MTCD & MTCE (as of v2.56) MCUs have been validated as cross compatible on 1024x600 units:
- MLT - 01/07/17 - caution - has resulted in issues for some @leonkernan
- JY
- KBT - 08/12/2017 - thanks @abagos
- KD (v2.40_2 - enables bluetooth hands free in both front speakers)
- KGL
- KSP thanks @Overmann
- GS - Note "version unmatch" error and fix below No issue experienced on MTCE going from JY 2.80 to GS 2.78 and back to HA 2.80 - March 2018
- GS compatible on MX (see post #513)
- HA (v2.56 06/07/17 - note v2.52 on enables "shutdown delay when acc off" menu) HA MTCE (30/09/17) V2.65 https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/ufie8k
See this thread for pics where MCU HA and KD has been applied on JY. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72737797&postcount=640
I initially upgraded to KD 2.40, then HA v2.52 after first exporting the MCU settings.
Note that I had to reapply MCU settings in [factory sertings] to configure radio, LED, bluetooth, hardware keys, volume levels between radio, bluetooth, system etc.
MCUs were previously thought to be manufacturer specific - e.g. HA, JY, GS, KD, however I have found that they are compatible and of interest where there is either a specific issue with your MCU (e.g. bluetooth out of one speaker, to enable PX5 sleep mode control) or the vendor has long ceased to support & release updates - such as JY.
MCU cross-compatibility became of interest to me when I upgraded my JY [MCU v2.06_2] PX3 with a HCT PX5 SOM and wanted to enable the MCU specific menu item [shutdown delay when ACC off] to control sleep as found on HA/Dasaita.
I first noted that from an XDA post listing JY an KD v2.06_2 being identical and on that assumption, upgraded to KDv2.40_2, which successfully applied - but had to reconfigure factory settings.
Following on, I found a post which has an image of a GS board & MCU chip - noted it was identical to the MTCD JY MCU chip [STM32F091] - then came across a post where a user had inadvertently applied a MTCD GS MCU to a MTCD JY without bricking it.
I then started comparing same version number firmware files from various manufacturer MCUs with a text compare tool. From this work, I had enough info to compare the latest HA v2.52 and conclude it 'should' be compatible. Indeed it is.
As always, check first (suggest confirming MTCD, MCU Chip part number, view/compare the fw files, ensure you have original MCU FW, backup MCU settings or document the settings to ensure your hardware controls, volume control, bluetooth, radio, canbus etc are setup correctly). Apply at your own risk.
Please post your results and I will update this thread.
Updates:
UPDATE: 26/06/2017 Users of 800x480 Users must also apply file[dmcu.ext], a text file containing:
For PX3 --> screen:3
For PX5 --> screen:1
01/07/17 - MLT
06/07/17 - KGL confirmed and new HA v2.56
30/09/17 - MTCE MCU confimed compatible
08/03/18 - MTCE JY/GS/HA compatible - No issue experienced on MTCE going from JY 2.80 to GS 2.78 and back to HA 2.80
GS Specific Notes:
Oberbergler said:
For all those with a GS: Our unit is compatible with the MTCE MCU but you have to restore your settings and maybe to manually reconfigure your touchscreen and buttons. There is a simple function to do this in the factory settings (126) which is called key study. My touchscreen was also swapped by the x axis. I had to go with the swapped touchscreen into the settings, configure it, reboot the unit and everything was fine. For the buttons you have also the possibility to use short press and long press buttons, which is great because our units (at least mine) has only five buttons and no return button. So I use now the power off button as return in short press mode and power off in long press

Do not dilute this thread by posting "how-to" questions such as - how do I update the MCU, what unit do I have, can I do it, how do I find factory settings, etc. This thread is to document cross-compatible MCUs and the fixes they apply.

Hi! Confirmed, I've upgraded to PX5 (JY UL135). Flashed KD2.40 over JY 2.06_2 then flashed HA 2.52 and everything is working as it should be. Thanks for your work.

I can confirm a cross compatibility as well.
My Unit is a xtrons device with die MCU firmware GS 2.43 and yesterday i did flash the HA 2.52. But be sure to save your mcu config first. Otherwise the hardware buttons won't do what they were supposed to do. But after flashing the firmware and restoring the config, everything is back to normal.

To make it easier to re-apply the settings, you can use the mcu.cfg function and flash it with the MCU, just in case anyone didnt know.

Some time ago I tried to investigate what actually those abbrevations mean. In my understanding GS, JY, HA is related to the canbus profiles, not directly to the reseller. It seems to be reasonable because MCU has really tiny flash capacity and add all canbus configurations to one chip would be impossible.

No, you are wrong there - the letters very definitely relate to the manufacturer, NOT the CAN Bus profiles KLD = "Klyde" KGL, = "Kai Ge Le", JY = "Joyous" etc, this has been established for years.
The seller has NOTHING to do with the software at all.
The CAN Bus profiles are named in factory settings
On MTCB/C headunits there was a slight difference in the code between MCU types so they were not interchangeable (apart from BN and HA), it would seem that on MTCD units there is no such variation in the code.

Does this also apply to LM_ (Erisin) MCUs?
I have a Erisin 5048 HU with MCU 2.41_1. Does anyone have any experience in flashing a different MCU to a LM_ type MCU? I´m worried to brick my HU if a flash a higher HA_ version.
Any info would be highly appreciated.
Greetings

There are no "Erisin" MCUs - Erisin are a seller only, they sell units made by several manufacturers. You have an "LM" unit.
I would stick to what @marchnz has tested already, although having said that, on the MTCB/C units if you flash the wrong MCU you can simply flash the correct MCU to correct it, cant say if its the same for MTCD units, up to you if you want to risk it.

Maybe read it again ?
Basically, you could risk trying it - MTCB/C units can be restored if the wrong MCU is flashed, maybe MTCD units could be restored if the wrong MCU is flashed also ? But maybe not, so that is your decision whether to try or not.
Otherwise stick to what @marchnz has said and do not try it.
And your unit is NOT an "Erisin" unit, they are sellers and sell units from many manufacturers, you have an LM MTCD unit.
Cant make it any clearer than that.

Can you explain me how ? Do I put the mcu.cfg file with the new mcu in the root of gps SD ?
In factory settings I see only the option to export, not to import. Or did I miss something ?

Thats correct, just put the mcu.cfg file on the SD card with the mcu.img.

Or, once mcu has been upgraded, you can remove the mcu update (.img) from the root of the gps card and apply the config (.cfg) on the root of the gps card separately - by running the 'upgrade MCU', it will see .cfg file and apply it.

Update for 800x480 users who update to the latest MCU - you must also apply a dmcu.ext
DMCU.EXT details
DMCU.EXT & screen resolution setting/howto/details
dmcu.ext details for PX5 800x480
That said - why is anyone purchasing a PX5 unit with 800x480?!?!

KD --> HA for 800x480 Screen
I have had quite an experience over the weekend, but am able to report successfully updating a PX3 MTCD_KD unit to a PX5 with the HA2.52 MCU Code.
For those of us with 800x480 screen sizes, as now noted in the main thread, we need to create the dmcu.ext file with the appropriate screen size to be flashed with the dmcu.img file.
Just a note that if you run across the issue of not having the appropriate resolution; don't freak out.
One interesting note I hadn't mentioned before is that after the PX5 started thinking it was 1024, I replaced it with the PX3. The PX3 booted thinking it was 1024 also. After reverting the PX3 to 800 (flashing with screen:3), I replaced the PX5. The PX5 however, did not revert back to 800, but remained at 1024. The PX5 did not revert back to 800 until after I reflashed the MCU, specifically stating it was to be 800 (screen:1).

So I tried HA 2.52 on Xtrons TB706APL
I get the following error on reboot.
After I update from dmcu.cfg it goes away but if you go into factory settings and change anything it comes back.
I also didnt see the option for the shutdown that this mcu is supposed to have.

I assume you mean "dmcu.img" and "dmcu.cfg"? That's how my downloaded img and backup cfg are called.

Yeah, thats right - the "d" is just there to show its an MTCD MCU not an MTCB or MTCC one.

The shutdown option is under System Settings --> extra settings. You wont find it in the factory settings. Just FYI.
Which dmcu.cfg did you use? I might be wrong, but it seems to me it might be dangerous to use different dmcu.cfg files with different versions of the MCU Code.

Upgrading MCU..

HI ,
Looking at upgrading MCU My unit is GS so I was going to flash this..
FOR GS
GS v.2.55 with sleep and redesigned sound processor from darkleo - MCU_GS_2.55_Sleep_Musik.rar
Im just a little confused about the following instructions as they talk about resolution, does this apply only when flashing the rom and not the MCU?
BEFORE UPGRADING YOUR UNIT YOU MUST KNOW
MCU your unit, there are many (KGL, KGL1, KGL2, KGL3, KGL4, KGL5, KLD, KLD1, KLD2, JY, GS, KYD, MD, BN, HA, MX), If you install the wrong MCU, you will brick your unit.
To know which one you have. Go to Settings -->About
If still not clear, see: here or here.
If you cannot find it here, it probably means that you are in the wrong thread.
Resolution of your unit. 800x480 or 1024x600. If you install the wrong ROM, you will brick your unit.
Chip of your unit RK3066 or RK3188. It does not really matter, ROMs and MCU are compatible between chips.
Thanks
Does not matter for mcu. Just make sure you use the correct mcu (same letter combo) and you may need to change settings in your factory settings menu for radio. Make note of your old mcu so that you can go back if required
Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow. There is only one available mcu on here for the GS model.
I'll go with that.

frontpanel buttons not function anymore after update

hi all!
i post for the first time in this section so apologize if i'm wrong or post in the wrong section.
I'm having issue with my RK3066 MTCB KGL 1024*600 HU (which commercial name is erisin ES9007a) since a ask manufacturer to send me new update to fix some bugs on my HU.
Since a putted in the MCU and update.img and make update, i lost my physical button in front and can't open front panel to access SDcar slots behind. Other physical buttons in front don't function anymore too like : vol+, vol-, power, eject....
I tried several other mcu find in the forum and i'm actually with : MCU v2.83 but i did no changes. I also tried v2.78 and v2.80....
The error i've done is that i haven't make any save before updating. Erisin don't ask me to do this.
SWC mapping is OK.
Anyone can help me please ?

PX5 Rockchip Tools - FW recovery without Hardware Mods

Hi,
Sharing these tools which were kindly shared on the Joying Forums (STT / STT-TEC) firmware for upgrading/recovering PX5 SOMs using the SDCARD create tool. On review, the zip contains additional tools to customise, create, unpack, repack firmware.
These tools may be of a breakthrough to both recovery and customising PX5 Firmware - the SDCARD create tool may be able to recover corrupt/bootlooping PX5 units without hardware mods, as the PX3 version results in a black screen when trying.
Note: change [config.ini] to Selected=2 to force english.
[Language]
Kinds=2
Selected=2
LangPath=Language\
Note Joying PX5s are STT and not HCT, the SOMs may be similar but the MCU code/comms may be different. e.g. Joying doesnt use MTC style apps, but this may be similar - unknown. Also note that the Joying MCU is different in terms of the filename/structure, but probably the very same hardware. If someone has one of these Joying PX5 units, would appreciate any info such as PX5 SOM module PICs, MCU pics/type, mainboard Pics. I havent attempted to flash a Joying MCU and Px5 update over my HCT as probably nothing to gain.

Note - Make your own OTG cable from a USB cable and two resistors!.
This indeed looks very promising. In fact if I understand properly it's able to create the directory structure on an SD card to recover even from completely busted ROM content.
It basically turns an update.img into sdupdate.img which can be flashed from an sdcard. I currently can only assume that the PX5 SoM respectively Rockchip boot process checks if certain files exist on any attached file system and if they do it will start recovery. Just like almost any mobile phone or ARM based hardware like routers, access points or similar I ever recovered.
Given this it will be a matter of time to figure out how to recovery-flash Android 8 on PX5 SoM. I started to have a look at what is available but the Android 8 ROM found in some file shares seems to be an OTA image and not a recovery image. Using those tools and tools like the included AFPTool (or 3rd party imgRePackerRK) it might be possible to build a recovery image. Although I am not sure if the OTA image even contains all required files. Probably not. The system image perhaps only contains updated files and might be incomplete.
Also the fact that this Android 8 image is an OTA image yields the question who is providing OTA images for PX5 units. At least I am not aware about any manufacturer distributing OTA updates.
The tools you provided also includes an interesting utility: RKOsConfig.exe
Unfortunately it's all in Chinese only but some items are obvious. It looks like a tool to pre-configure the Android ROM for specific device. Allowing to set DPI, system language, time zone, video decoder, USB and UART type and specifically also the screen type where there are 2 presets in lcdlist.ini for 1024x600 and 800x480 screens.
The toolset also contains a command-line tool (RKImageMaker.exe) and a sample batch script (mkupate.bat) which shows how update.img can be converted to sdupdate.img as well as how the update.img is packed.
Unfortunately the Android 8 OTA image seems not to include some of them like kernel.img, misc.img, recovery.img and resource.img. Likely since the OTA update does not ship them. Moreover system.img might be covered by system.new.dat but this might contain only the files which are updated via OTA and might not include some of the files.
So it needs a bit of further analysis and perhaps we also need to wait for the first update image for Android 8 units (not OTA) to appear. I have also extracted an older Android 6 update.img which contains all the required files, so I guess the Android 8 OTA update is likely insufficient but future full-image updates will provide all the data to create recovery sdupdate.img to be flashed on Android 6 units.

Hotaudio/Dasaita has a OTA update function since a few months. The update file is also from HA. I think that it is only a matter of time that a .img file from another reseller or even hotaudio will be published and then it should be possible to update

Oh, I didn't know. Are they shipping OS updates on a regular base now or announced to do? Perhaps even including Android security updates? (haha, this might be just a dream)
If they do that would be a real step ahead and a good reason to buy Dasaita/HA units in the future. Although the OTA updates are likely also shipped to 3rd party units if they run HA ROM. I wonder how HA deals with this as OTA updates will be tested on HA units only and if they break some 3rd party units via OTA update they might get support inquiries from customers which don't even have a HA unit.
But generally I regard this as a huge step ahead.

I guess they might not want to talk to modders and developers directly...
I really like Dasaita/HA is present here and publishing regular updates. I just bought a car-specific unit with Anroid before actually knowing about MTCD or PX3/PX5 at all. Now after being in this discussions for a while my favorite seller would be Dasaita/HA. Unfortunately they don't have a car-specific model for me but for future purchases it will be my first address to check.

I have installed the HA ROM on my GS and tried once in November to update via OTA knowing that hotaudio has released here in the forum a newer ROM than the one I had installed on my unit but it didn't work. Don't know if it was because I have a GS or if they didn't release the update via OTA.
Don't expect security patches. They don't care about them :laugh:

OK. My question was rather towards the community if someone ever tried.
Their website leaves little hope that they are even open to a collaboration. The english page is very incomplete and only chinese page seems to ahve some Sofia and PX3 boards listed. As far as I can see they are manufacturing some standard SoM they market to resellers as we know. Not sure though about the design of MTCx main boards. As many sellers seem to have very similar designs this makes me believe they are perhaps also designed by HCT or at least there is some reference design available to all unit manufacturers. Moreover some apps on our units are developed by HCT directly. Apps which interface with the MCU. So I believe HCT either provides the design or is manufacturing the complete unit, not only the SoM.
Anyway we might actually need a translator or someone in china to get in direct contact with HCT and it's unlikely for such companies to collaborate with the community. Nevertheless I have sent them a mail asking about community involvement. Maybe I go the wrong direction here and chances to succeed are near-zero, but hey; you don't know if you don't try.

I wonder if the OTA does an MCU check as the Lollipop update on KLD MTCB/C units did ? You could try flashing an HA MCU and seeing if it updates via OTA after. If it does then it could be quite easy for a dev to work around it as @dsa8310 did to allow Lollipop on any MTCB/C unit.

I'm not playing anymore with MCU's since I've done exactly that what you've suggested me. The HA MCU converted my unit into a HA with many problems. When I tried to go back to GS I had the version unmatch error. Fortunately the seller exchanged my unit.

As many sellers seem to have very similar designs this makes me believe they are perhaps also designed by HCT or at least there is some reference design available to all unit manufacturers. Moreover some apps on our units are developed by HCT directly. Apps which interface with the MCU. So I believe HCT either provides the design or is manufacturing the complete unit, not only the SoM.
Anyway we might actually need a translator or someone in china to get in direct contact with HCT and it's unlikely for such companies to collaborate with the community. Nevertheless I have sent them a mail asking about community involvement. Maybe I go the wrong direction here and chances to succeed are near-zero, but hey; you don't know if you don't try.

Yes, the site is rubbish.
The motherboards are designed and made by each manufacturer to, as youve said, a set of standards that meet certain criteria so that ROMs and (most) MCUs are interchangeable, although each motherboard may be a different design.
Almost all sellers (HA is the only one who sells and manufacturers as far as I can remember) are entirely separate from the manufacturers and have nothing to do with the design or manufacturing.
It used to be though that "MTC" was behind the development of the SoM software, then it was thought htta HCT was behind it, in the light od @marchnz's first post I m not sure this is correct now.

There are no "joying" units - Joying are a seller, I take it you mean Shenzhen Joyous RK3368/PX5 units ?
Although I was under the impression that Joyous no longer made MTC units and had switched to making the "009" MCU (ie non MTC) Intel units.
I gather that @marchnz has seen ".syu" and "fyt" on he motherboard or SoM and thats why he suggested that in his first post.

Look at the kernel and file system. Fyt units are very specific. Joyous is a different reseller than joying also. Dunno what 009 unit is. FYT makes their own custom SoM with various cpu's.

Joyous is NOT a seller, Joyous is the manufacturer of all "JY" units, its Joying that is a seller.
An 009 MCU unit is a non MTC Intel unit.
I dont think the kernel or software are relevant, we re talking about MTCD/E hardware not software.
I ve not seen any MTCB/C/D/E SoMs without "HCT" on them - HCT makes all MTC SoMs, at least thats what has been established over the last 3 years, but please if youve got any photographic evidence to the contrary post it here to prove otherwise.

It is relevant, because from a live system, you can tell what SoM the unit is using
Also, Shenzhen Joyous (which was a manufacturer/seller) does not currently make any PX3 or PX5, let alone any Intel units. This may have been true in the past, no longer.
Also, HCT does make a variety of SoM's, but they certainly don't make all of them.

MCU wanted for MTCE_GS_V2.84._3 (dmcu.img)

Hi All,
I accidentally messed up with my unit PX5 (buttons are not working - unit does) and I would like to reflash the MCU.
The original version the unit came with is MTCE_GS_V2.84._3 but I cannot find it anywhere.
Does anyone have an idea where I can find it?
Thanks a lot
set buttons in factory menu.
Already tried and added a new post reply here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77438369&postcount=1968.
When i try i get no response. Should i long press ?
I have the files...how do i send?
You will find all the updates and MCU files for all units here: https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr
Brialliant !!!!! thanks for the link
no worries glad to be of service

I see here https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/RockChip PX5 Android 8.0/GS that only ROMS for PE series are available . Mine is a Xtrons PB series (PB68WRJP). May I use the PE ROM ?
they will be fine with your pb i have the audi TT pb unit and have used these files for mine without any problems, as far as i am aware the px5 units are all the same anyway.

I asked because my seller gave to me 2 versions of the update file a couple of months ago. First he sent the PE version and later, before I updated my unit, he sent the PB saying that this is the right one for my unit.

Anyone reading this
*** Do not flash the DMCU.ext listed here together with the MCU ***
OP please edit this post, there is NO reason to flash dmcu.ext when flashing the same vendor MCU.
Suggest expanding on the comment "no worries just reprogram", with clear examples if making this statement.

Hi all I am a bit confused by how many different downloads please excuse me as a noob and first time flashing my PX6
My question is can I just jump from 3.5.8-1 to the latest 3.6.2 I believe and what files exactly do I need to load onto a flash drive.
Your help in advance is much appreciated. Cheers J
I am running a MTCE HA running 3.5.9

Suggest NOT changing your MCU unless resolving a known issue. Same for Android. This is a head unit, constantly updating isn't necessary.
Update for mic issue
Hi Experts! If I want to update my Dasaita PX6 Max10 is there any preferred order which update to do first OTA or MCU? In case of OTA update at starting is it necessary to click on WIPE AND FORMAT FLASH option? Somebody is doing this, somebody is doing that... When is it suggested?
The reason why I planning to switch to latest update because during calls my mic is working strange, sometimes the others cannot hear me properly. They are complaining about low volume and faded voice. (If they are calling back they says it is better...) Have you experienced the same thing?

I use the internal microphone, not yet tried an external one. I checked the mic with apps, basically it is working however its volume seems to be a little bit low, but it is not faded. I feel it is rather a noise suppression issue (coming from sw side), therefore I hope that an update could help.

I respectfully disagree based on years of experience: there's no need to flash the MCU configuration file DMCU with an MCU that matches the manufacturer of your head unit. I.e. HA to HA, JY to JY etc.
Your well meaning advice resulted in a configuration not appropriate (which messed up the screen) for another members screen type/resolution.
The 'similar issues' stated are probably your misunderstanding of what the DMCU file is and possibly where others have installed a different vendor MCU. E.g. GS on HLA
Hello, with dasaita px6 android 10 1024/600 firmware HA3, the update "HA3_rk3399_10.0_ota (20200915) 升级 包" and MCU "MTCE_HA_V3.62": all is ok , thank you
A few questions...
1) Anybody able to modify steering wheel controls? I open the app and it is blank.
2) Also, can you summon siri/google via the steering wheel when in carplay/android auto?
3) I have an OBD dongle but am unable to get the headunit to connect to it. I see it in the available devices but nothing happens after i select "yes" to connect.
I have the max10 600p resolution version for highlander. A canbus was included and I am able to change vol/toggle modes.

When you install a harness with a CAN adapter the steering wheel signals a routed for you to the CAN decoder box. It worked for me to reroute them to my own circuit. It should be equally fine to connect them to the KEY1 and KEY2 inputs, that is if your car has resistive buttons and only one or two. Then you can program them as desired.
Flashed 20200915 and the 2.62_1 (with a different dmcu.ext provided by dasaita that had screen:18 inside it). Everything has been working great but there is an annoying notification everytime I switch the car on that shows the version number - is there anyway to get rid of this?

I noticed that the first time I installed that update, then I went back to the prior version I had, one more time I gave it a try and I started to try to remove that annoying notification, but then I thought why waste time on that, also I notice that saving a screenshot was giving me an error, so once again I went back to the prior version I had installed.
I can’t decide whether to put this up or Malayk’s ROM. I don't really need pre-installed programs, I know which launcher, music player, etc.. I want to use, but there may be settings in it that I can't solve on this ROM.
