[En-Nut-Discussion] Save Data to the EEPROM

[Zheng Anding]

I thought the first 64 bytes of EEPROM are reserved by Nut/OS and the next 64 bytes are reserved by Nut/Net, we can use the remaining 3968 bytes, according to the software manual...

There's no pre-defined value, AFAIK. I recommend to
start at address 512. Anything from 0 to 511 is
weakly reserved for Nut/OS.

No, EEPROM is the right place. Have a look into
nut/os/confos.c, NutLoadConfig() and NutSaveConfig().
This works with ICC and GCC. Note, that the value
is read before writing, which reduces wear out.
(Was it Alexander, who gave this hint?)
