UDS Flashing Flow

In ECU flashing captures, the first services you usually notice are Request Download, Transfer Data, and Request Transfer Exit. At first glance, it seems simple: tell the ECU to get ready, send the binary in chunks, and then finish. But real engineering is never that simple. Flashing is hard not because segmented transfer is complicated by itself, but because it is a high-risk business chain: if permissions are wrong, the session is wrong, erase is wrong, the block order is wrong, verification fails, or activation fails, the ECU can be left in a state worse than “not upgraded.”
