This package provides the BMW XBD Generator v2.3.3 together with its Java runtime, standard include libraries and sample data sets. XBD Generator is an engineering tool used to create and maintain SGBD ECU description files and PABD programming description files for BMW diagnostic and programming environments such as EDIABAS, INPA and WinKFP.



Highlights

• Menu driven generator for SGBD ECU description files and PABD programming descriptions instead of manual BEST/2 coding
• Creates SG specific XML sources that are automatically converted to B2S and compiled to executable PRG files for EDIABAS
• Integrated syntax checks and guideline checks to improve stability and standardisation of diagnostic and programming data
• Template SGBD XML files for DS2, BMW Fast, KWP2000 and LIN protocols to speed up creation of new control unit descriptions
• Standard include libraries for shared jobs and functions that are linked automatically by the generator
• Sample PABD FLASH description to demonstrate parameterisation of programming sequences for ECUs

Package contents
All components are delivered as compressed archives and documentation.

Compatibility notes
XBD Generator v2.3.3 was originally designed as a BMW internal development tool for creating diagnostic SGBD files and programming PABD data. It is intended for users who already work with BMW Standard Tools, EDIABAS and INPA or WinKFP and who need to develop or adjust ECU description files. The tool relies on a compatible Java runtime and an existing EDIABAS installation for compiling and testing generated SGBD and PABD data. Availability of specific functions and sample files is limited to the protocols and templates provided in this package.

Basic usage

• Install or extract the Java Runtime Environment from j2re-1_4_0_03-windows-i586.7z if Java 1.4 is not already present
• Extract XBD-Generator_2.3.3.7z and run the setup program to install the XBD Generator tool
• After installation, configure paths and options in the application settings according to your EDIABAS and project directories
• Import the template SGBD, sample PABD and standard include archives through the Extras or Options menu
• Create new SGBD or PABD projects from the templates, edit parameters via the graphical input masks and compile the resulting PRG files for use in EDIABAS based tools

Operating systems
These releases were designed for legacy Windows environments with Internet Explorer and Java support.

• Windows 2000
• Windows XP
• Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4 or newer

With suitable Java runtime and correct configuration, some users also run the tool on newer Windows versions using compatibility modes or virtual machines, but operation on modern systems cannot be guaranteed.

Minimum system requirements

• CPU: Intel or AMD compatible processor 500 MHz or faster
• RAM: at least 128 MB, 512 MB or more recommended for larger projects
• Storage: minimum 200 MB free space for installation plus space for SGBD and PABD project data
• Display: 800 x 600 resolution or higher
• Software: Java Runtime Environment 1.4.0 or higher, working EDIABAS installation for compiling and testing PRG files
• User rights: local administrator rights required to install Java, XBD Generator and related components
