Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking


Looking at the datasheet, once secured, the chip is protected by a 64 bit password.
Not clear what Ingenext are doing - could be they've figured out how Tesla updates firmware over CAN, found/hacked the password, or maybe they're swapping the chip.
Maybe someone could ask him?


No need to ask ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

Couple of small points that needed their own short post.

The LV8907 is connected directly to the Micro, right ?
Where does pin 2 (sleep), and the RX/TX on the TJA1021 (LIN Transceiver) go to ?

Couldn't we use the MiniWare MHP30 to locally reheat the TI micro off the board ?
Review here https://www ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking


station240: I'm not sure of the scope of your project but if you just want a TMS320F28379 to use for SW development and integration work then TI make the LAUNCHXL-F28379D dev board. It breaks out all of the pins we could possibly need.


It's a 377 BGA chip on that board, I already own one, trust ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

I'm back to being able to do *some* work on this, had to buy an entirely new PC as the video card and motherboard have been acting flakey.
Still re-installing software.

Just finished making the TMS320F28377/28379 part in design spark, as I didn't entirely trust a chinese project's PCB/schematic ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

Spent the past two weeks persuading the C2000 library / examples to do useful things with my devboard.
Some 'interesting' omissions in the examples, and the string library has some funny ideas.


// 12 bit adc input, converted to voltage.
// 0-3.3V input range, but treat as milivolts for accuracy ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking


Castellation is not possible on a 0.5mm pitch pad.


Sure it is, but you'd need to sand the edges of the board down yourself.
JLC PCB and the like aren't going to do it, people would complain the edges aren't perfect.
Of course then you end up having to assemble the boards yourself, which would ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

Ah it looks like I went to all the trouble making this Isolated JTAG programmer (with optional C2000 processor) for nothing!
Ignore all the bodge wires, I redid the power planes one too many times, dropped a few connections, and couldn't get the correct crystal, and the USB socket stucks.

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

One downside of that TI Launchpad board is not all the signals are available.
There is a very tiny connector on the underside with some extra signals, it's cell phone connector small, and TI never did release that addon board to break it out.

Oh and only CANB is connected to a transceiver, CANA ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

I've been using the XDS100-V2, as it's one TI build into their own Dev boards.
Not seen anyone selling a version with the HV isolation though.
https://www.olimex.com/Products/DSP/Emulators/TMS320-XDS100-V2/

TI have also shared all the design files to make your own.

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

Ah GPIO72 and GPIO84 are tied to 3.3V via the LEDs then.
I was worried they wouldn't be attached to anything at all, given the size of the pins that would be an issue.

1. Yeah I worry about the various software locks that could be fitted also, but given the complete lack of information we have to ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

I should be able to help you with programming that particular C2000 micro.
Been programming the 379D version which is just the 377D with some minor changes TI made that didn't alter the code or pin out.
First you need to trace what GPIO72 and GPIO84 are wired to, as these set the boot mode.
It's ...
