Re: Read EEPROM from EvalBoard 1701!...

     Hello,

 

     SigmaStudio includes the E2Prom Read/Write Window shown below.  It appears from posts such as http://ez.analog.com/message/19512#19512, however, that it hasn't worked recently.  When I tried it today, I could not get it to save anything to a file.

Even if you could access the E2Prom contents (perhaps using another utility), it wouldn't help much because no decompiler is available to translate the object code back into a project file -- see  http://ez.analog.com/message/19512#19512.  In addition to the issue of software security, a decompiler won't work very well anyhow.  Shown below is a snippet of a huge project that nearly fills up a ADAU1701.  As a project it uses 200K of disc space, but compiles down to fit into a 8K E2Prom.  As a result, a decompiler would not reconstruct the original project.  As a minimum, the use of aliases with recognizable labels would be lost.

     Actually I did lose this project at one point in its development.  Surprisingly, it only took about a day to re-enter it from scratch, and in the process I turned it from a scatter-wired mess into something far neater and more maintainable -- see http://ez.analog.com/message/63999#639994

Thus I found a silver lining in this misfortune.  It also taught me to save multiple copies of each project revision.

 

 

     Best regards,
