[En-Nut-Discussion] Non reproduceable reboots on 1.3H

[Daniel]

Hello again.

I have investigated a little further and found out, that when the 
function stucks, it is always at EEPROM access.
Now I hab a look at the API sources. I saw that interrupts are not 
disabled before EEPROM access. At other embedded boards one have to 
disable all interrupts before EEPROM access and enable them afterwards.

Can you tell me if the EEPROM access is secured against this behaviour?

Best regards,
Daniel
