Determine EEPROM Writing Solution

[konimaru]

There is the Hydra-Asset-Manager (HAM). It needs some tweaking (the back end on the P1) but worked fine for me in the past. I believe up to 128MB was possible (in fact GUI allows for 512MB).

Looks like Macca was investigating this exact same problem, but doesn't seem to really elaborate on his solution - plus it looks like he's using a C compiled solution.

Outstanding - any elaboration for "tweaks on the back end"?

[konimaru]

The original backend used the TV driver + the Graphics object. I commented that out (there was some kind of progress bar). I believe you have the tweaked version already in that archive.

Oh nice. I'm thinking though... the Propeller's boot EEPROM is I2C, but the ones I'm attempting to write to are SPI - so I'll certainly have to replace the I2C logic with SPI logic, as well as change the GPIO ports used.

[konimaru]

Ah, yes. I forgot. But it shouldn't be too much effort.

[cspang1]

Nah, especially with a great deal of SPI logic already available in the Propeller library.

Will be satisfied w/ HAM.
