Step 7 — Post-Update Validation

• Connect KTAG to PC software (v2.70). Should show “Firmware: 2.70” and no “Clone detected” warning.
• Test on a bench ECU (e.g., Bosch EDC17) in bootloader mode.
• Verify CAN-FD by reading a Tricore TC275 via CAN (requires external 120 ohm terminator).

Once complete, a confirmation message will indicate new protocols are available.

Compatible Hardware: Most v2.70 software is designed to work with KTAG v7.020 hardware.
