SD Connect C4 DOIP PCB Reword like Xentry Connect C5

About: How to rework a clone MB star diagnosis SD Connect C4 PCB to support DOIP, working as well as Xentry Connect C5

What is DOIP

DOIP is ISO 13400 diagnostic protocol

ISO 13400-1:2011 describes the general use cases and communication scenarios which are covered by an Internet Protocol-based vehicle communication standard. Each use case drives specific communication capabilities of the vehicle communication interface, for instance in order to be interoperable in an existing computer network.

The diagnostic communication over Internet Protocol (DoIP) protocol supports the standardized service primitive interface as specified in ISO 14229-2.

The descriptions in ISO 13400-1:2011 cover different application layer implementations, such as:

enhanced vehicle diagnostics (system diagnostics beyond legislated functionality, non-emissions-related system diagnostics);
WWH-OBD (World-Wide Harmonized On-Board Diagnostics) as specified in ISO 27145-2 and ISO 27145-3.

The mercedes Land Rover JLR all use this new Diagnostic Protocol now.
Explosive Low Price Promotion

The new SDconnect C4 (1:1 clone of the original) is able to work for DoIP.
It’s the only C4 that supports ethernet communication (DoIP).
Have tested no issues on new mercedes with doip.

You don’t have to install batteries for firmware update.
No need worry about firmware damage in the update process

The wireless connection is stable.
C4 is connected automatically to WLAN for diagnostic tests.
Also, remote help is available.

The C4 machine has good quality.
It’s waterproof, shockproof and tamper proof.

What’s the advantage of DoIP ?

Performant handling of huge data volumes

Time-saving at ECU Flash Programming

Cost-efficient because no VCI is necessary

Simple intgration to IT Infrastructure

Flexible use because of standardized communicatino

Integrated with other standards for Vehicle diagnosis

Future-proof technology enables various use cases

Why DoIP is applied to automotive/cars?

Increasing interconnection of vehicles and their environment

Driving assistance and infotatinment systems cause huge data volume

Increasing time for flash programming at production line and after-sales service

DoIP as a performant and flexible vehicle access

SDCONNECT C4 RAM AND FLASH ERROR & SOLUTION

i want to share the pictures of the pcb board from my SD connect C4 and tips of PCB fix from folks in a forum.

the problem with SDconnect is that self test gives errors about RAM and FLASH.

Although the term doesn’t mean much, this is a lower end board as far as they go. You could fairly safely assume that they spent as little as possible on the parts for this. If you can get the parts and feel like lifting and replacing the handful of TSSOPs, you could try to repair it, otherwise I’d just put it into the bone pile and hope for a better one next time. Although it doesn’t guarantee anything, don’t buy based on the cheapest price you can find. Ask for interior photos *before* you buy and pay with something that allows you to get your money back if what you get doesn’t match what they said you’d get. It’s been discussed ad nauseam already on this thread.

Reference: from someone off mhhauto.com provides a comprehensive list of which component on Chinese SDconnect C4 mux to change to a genuine one

The RAM for the PPC on the top is DDR SDRAM (16Mx16) (search for k4h56xx38j_66tsop2_rev10.pdf). Alliance, ISSI, and Winbond make crosses for it. The parallel NOR on the CPU side is an S29GL (3.3V, 64Mbit, parallel NOR — you can still find those around without too much trouble).

The C166 you can find via Octopart (XC161CJ-16F40F). You will need to program the flash on this part if you just want to drop it in.

The switching regulators are mostly LTC3412A — you can find those without too much trouble.

You can find the Ethernet PHY AM79C874VI without too much trouble.

For the 4Mb/5V SRAMs on the back, you need a 5V TSOP-44 10ns 4Mb (or larger) SRAM. ISSI makes the IS61C5128AL, which I believe should be a drop in replacement.

The parallel NOR flash on the bottom could be more of a pain in the ass. You need to find a 16Mb (or greater) 5V 70ns (or faster, although this may not be super critical), AMD CFI compatible (if you want to be safe) flash in TSOP 48. These parts are long obsolete. You’re going to have to do some digging around to locate those.

The CPLD on the bottom is an LC4256V-75TN176C. You can still find those.

I can’t remember the part # for the Hynix NAND on the bottom, but I’ll update the post if/when I do.

So all this said…unless you are very experienced with rework and have good equipment, you could very likely end up destroying the PCB in the process of trying to do all of this rework. Reworking these boards is not something that’s economically viable as has been pointed out on here by Anturage before.
