EEPROM get's deleted when too cold??

MIDIbox NG
1

Hey people,

I had a strange behavior last night. My MIDIbox was in the car over night. It was cold, maybe -2°C. The next day I connected it to my computer and realized, that the EEPROM was reset and all settings were gone (it was a MIDIbox running MB_KB). 

Is there a chance to prevent it from doing that? I had another MIDIbox in the car which runs MB_NG. This was booting fine, but it uses an SD-card instead of the internal EEPROM…

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

the EEPROM is actually emulated in flash. I would assume: if it gets corrupted, very likely also the application couldn’t be booted anymore.

It’s also very unlikely that the flash gets erased due to this “relaxed” temperature - this can’t be the problem.

Best Regards, Thorsten.
