PCAN-XCP API Version History

This is the version history of the PCAN-XCP API for Windows®. All improvements, bug fixes, and changes of the published API versions are listed.

PCAN-XCP is an API for the communication between Windows® applications and ECUs according to the Universal Measurement and Calibration Protocol (XCP) by ASAM. See the product page for more information.

2024-07-24 - Version 2.3.0

Improvements:

  • There is now a possibility to force the API to always use MAX_DLC in a CAN FD communication
  • General code enhancements

2023-10-05 - Version 2.2.5

Improvements:

  • General code enhancements
  • Information regarding the use of BRS (Bit Rate Switch) within CAN FD connections has been added to the documentation

2021-05-27 - Version 2.2.4

Bug fixes:

  • Attempting to use XCP_Download and XCP_Program in 'block mode' failed with error XCP_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE
  • The XCP_DownloadNext and XCP_ProgramNext functions failed erroneously, if the 'number of elements' passed to the functions was greater than 6 (granularity 1), 3 (granularity 2) or 1 (granularity 4)

Changes:

  • The functions XCP_Download, XCP_DownloadNext, XCP_Program, XCP_ProgramNext, and XCP_Upload now return XCP_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER, if a DTO buffer is passed as parameter while block mode is used and not all desired elements can be transmitted with the current command call

2020-12-01 - Version 2.2.3

Bug fixes:

  • The function XCP_Upload returned a wrong result code when it was called asynchronously
  • The subcommand GET_SLAVE_ID of the function XCP_TransportLayerCommand couldn’t be called asynchronously
  • The subcommand GET_SLAVE_ID of the function XCP_TransportLayerCommand was sent using the Master-ID and not the Broadcast-ID

2019-07-09 - Version 2.2.2

Improvements:

  • The configuration of the underlying certificate checking was changed to avoid delays at initialization time due to certificate revoke-search online

2018-12-13 - Version 2.2.1

Bug fixes:

  • The function XCP_TransportLayerCommand was broadcasting commands, even though the GET_SLAVE_ID command is the only one supporting broadcasting
  • Issuing transport layer commands was not increasing the DTO filter, so that dedicated DTOs couldn't be received

2018-01-31 - Version 2.2.0

Improvements:

  • New function XCP_GetErrorText for error code parsing added

2017-09-06 - Version 2.1.0

Improvements:

  • Unused dependencies were removed and the DLL sizes reduced

Bug fixes:

  • Function XCP_InitializeCanChannel had a wrong signature, causing an access violation when used dynamically (LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress)
  • A special case with the XCP_Program function has not been taken into account: Sending a message with 'numberOfElements' equal to 0

2016-02-23 - Version 2.0.1

Bug fixes:

  • The setting for MAX_DTO, at CONNECT response time, was not being set, causing a malfunction within the function XCP_DequeueMsg(DTO)

2015-10-07 - Version 2.0.0

Improvements:

  • CAN-FD support was added, new API function XCP_InitializeCanChannelFD()

Changes:

  • API was updated to support the new version of PCAN-Basic
  • The members "MotorolaFormat" and "AddressGranularity" of the TXCPProtocolLayerConfig structure are deprecated. These values are now automatically used when the XCP_Connect() function is called sucessfully

2014-01-27 - Version 1.1.0

Changes:

  • A security issue was fixed

2013-09-06 - Version 1.0.1

Improvements:

  • A new example project for VB.Net is now available

Bug fixes:

  • DTO packages were wrongly being included into the CTO queue
  • Due to a filter problem, the API was not able to receive "Dedicated DTOs"
