GenBoard/Manual (2015-01-01 07:00:00)

There is an ongoing construction / conversion process, that causes inconvenience in the transition period.

[HTML Manual 1] THE upcoming primary MANUAL
and [deprecated HTML Manual 2] slightly different format, might not be up2date. only check this as very last chance. TODO: confirm that we can drop this.
[Rob's stepbystep buide] (contained an error on the serial cable instruction. Check GenBoard/Manual/CommHardware to be sure
GRMracer's StepByStepGuide
[firmware menu refcard.pdf] Note that variable offsets can change according to firmware version (though they rarely change) so verify on LCD or from varstr.h (especially if you set variabled blindly).

If these do not fully answer your question, it's a good idea to search for keywords (like ignition) on SiteIndex and browse through relevant pages.

We'll slowly update the references (thanx for any help) in the matrix below to point to the best info available for that cell.

Different elements can point to same page in the simple cases (eg. comm wiring and configuration). Empty cells are OK.

GenBoard/Manual/InjectionTypes

GenBoard/Manual/IgnitionTypes - needs cleanup and organiztion

Sensors done moved.

GenBoard/Manual/PurchasingGenboard - need to move pertinate information to manual

Quick, general items on how it works (not long? mainly flow diagrams).
1. Processor Overview - never written, refer to manual now
2. EFI Flowchart - moved the information, revision pending.
