[En-Nut-Discussion] Ethernut 1.3H External RAM problem

Yes it is very likely that the µC got destroyed internally. Each µC pin
is bonded to the silicon dye with very thin gold wires, they might got
burned internally in the chip. And also some single pads might got
burned internally while the rest of the µC is still working.

That might mean that the timer peripheral got destroyed as well.

I would strongly suggest to replace the µC as well.

Bye,
